Iran will advance!

[Tarsal Claw]

For nearly 50 years, I've been following this team. And every 4 years, it is the same disappointment. Now that we're in a state where most of us want to punish this team for political and theological ideologies, I bet this is the year that they will finally advance out of the group stage. The year that most of us DON"T want them to, will be the year that they actually will.
And I'll state again that these guys are just athletes with dumb minds, I don't need them to give anyone public health advice. But yes, they can do a better job of protesting the regime without getting themselves (or relatives) killed/jailed But even everyone that is complaining about the team, will be watching the games. None of you have the heart to "ban" and boycott this team. And trust me sunni, even all the shitte talk about them is still talking about them, and the entire website is dedicated to them, and posts and news stories are still coming in, despite all the animosity.
So I say again, just watch, the year that we don't want them to advance will be the year that they do. And no matter how much we hate it, deep down, we will all get a bit of joy out of it. Especially if some of the players surprise you by making a stance or gesture to subliminally say fak the regime!

I like your heart!

I will be traveling from tomorrow onwards for 2 weeks and will make a point of not watching TM.

If I hear news that someone was a Basharaf I might find a clip but otherwise I hope they lose and are out quickly.

Last world Cup my enjoyment of soccer only started with the elimination of Iran. This edition will be them same. Sports can start and the fun begin!

Inshalla they advance and make Iran proud

Ironically, I think this is the best chance TM has had ever to qualify.

This team is garbage and the worst that I can remember since maybe the Daei/Ghotbi era, but considering around half of the third placed teams qualify, it's not unlikely at all to get out of the group stage.

A single win against New Zealand may even be enough as long as the goal difference is OK.

Do you mean in terms of social freedom or economy?

Dadash dige doroogh chera?! Hadaghal badaro migi, khoob ha ra ham begu. Akharin bar Iran budi kei bud?

Economically Iran is disastrous and at a new loww, people are really suffering, but social freedom is the best it's ever been thanks to the political movements people have been pushing. No more hejab, police don't arrest you anymore for gender mixing or the way people dress etc...

Iran is occupied by sharia laws, kodom social freedoms?

This is a classic " be marg bebar ke ba tabh razi bashad"

Almost sounds like you promoting to keep the I.R cancer and try to reform it, that eslatalab crap is long overdue.

The only solution is to remove the I.R tumor, those who says otherwise is either a opportunist who is aligned with the regime due to personal interest or a regime supporter.

The argument point was "has Iran got worse" not "do Iranians have amazing social freedoms". I assume you haven't been to Iran in a long time.

I'm not an IR supporter or IR apologist. The best solution for Iran is to remove IR, I agree with you. However, those who say we have to remove IR, even if it means the destruction of Iran, have nothing to lose and don't care about Iranians. Maybe it doesn't matter for you if Iran turns into Syria, Libya or Iraq, but for some of us it does.

IR needs to be removed the right way, not by war and destruction, whilst you sit the west comfortably with your popcorn

Destruction of Iran? Wake up and smell the coffee, I.R have already destroyed everything.

The war? Oh yes the war that gave IRGC and that olagh cholagh Khamenei choub tou koun after 47 years of warmongering on our people and countrys expence.

The right way? Are you kidding me?

If the people could topple these madarjendeha by own force it would have happend in 1999, 2009, 2011,2017,2019,2022 or january 2026

Usa and Israel took out IRGC elites , IRGC infrastructure and beite olaghe rahbari with daste cholagh in it in a week, the people could not have done it in a century on their own, maybe in your fantasy.

Libya, Syria, Iraq.... right out of the regimes propaganda book, IRAN is not these countries that was created in the 40,50 and 60s, nobody buys that line anymore.

Khodet koja neshesti? In Ghazvin or in the West?

You can keep that gaslight to yourself , it does not work on me.

You rather want the people to live under badbakhti for 47 more years and keep getting slaughtered like sheeps every uprising( the right way yani) with your chai va chips in the west instead of realise that war against the IRGC in combination with the people to give the final blow is the right way to get rid of this cancer.

You are not a regime lobbyist you say, but you still unwittingly preach their propaganda.

I agree with you, iran has been destroyed by IR and US sanctions, but things can always get worse. Iran is a functioning country with ok Healthcare, cheap fuel/energy, subsidized food, pharmaceuticals and good infrastructure. Something Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan don't have. I'm not justifying IR, THEY ARE TERRIBLE, but things can get worse.


I want change, and things should change and will change, but in my opinion war is not the solution. It will take 10,20,30y to rebuild a country after a full War. Change will happen through continued protests and people pushing for change within Iran.

I don't live in Iran either, but I was there very recently in December. By how you talk, I assume you haven't been to Iran in 10y+ and you also don't have a plan to go in the future, hence your outdated opinion of Iran.

One more time, I'm not an IR apologist or supporter, I'm just not an extremist that supports war and death

"IR needs to be removed the right way?" Lol Have you been living under a rock? They've been destryoing Iran for 47 years and killing ppl, you think they're just gonna put their guns down and walk out on their own with a sweet please and cherry on top?

They're the reason we're in this mess and the country is getting destroyed, and every other BS we've had to endure all these years including the Iraq war, not the IRANIAN ppl who had to leave their country to make a life elsewhere out of necessity.

And what is the right way, sir? Could you elaborate since you know "the way" and nobody else does!?

[Artaxerxes]

"Change will happen through continued protests and people pushing for change within Iran."

Are you kidding? Again, 1999, 2009,2011,2017, 2019,2022 and 2026, chi shod?

"Iran is a functioning country with ok Healthcare, cheap fuel/energy, subsidized food, pharmaceuticals and good infrastructure."

Braindrought, majority under the poverty line, most executions in the world, sharia law, no water and electricity, our lakes turned to Sahara, air pollution etc etc, yes very functional country, a big shithole for a country because of these mullah apes.
