Worldcup 2026 thread

"You just want to recover your old house and drink alcohol and wear a mini skirt. Nothing in your free Iran has to do with the actual people living there."

That is the most idiotic thing I've heard since the war started. Camran is right, you'd expect to hear something like that from a Bangladeshi or Pakistani native but not from an Iranian! I guess this sort of backwards primitive Sharia Law mindset is prevalent and shared among all Islamists to a degree.

These are the exact words pro war Iranians have said to me. The elders that were alive during shahs time were the ones that were against him, so they want his son to come back to get rid our their self hatred, shame, and guilt.

the younger generation that never lived in Iran during shahs time want his son to return because of stories they heard from elders about going to the disco and showing leg. I’m all for our women wearing whatever they want but dropping bombs on them isn’t the answer.

our last shah was a great king that loved our country. He’d never kiss the hand of another leader and beg them to bomb our soil, that’s why I can’t get behind his son who hasn’t been in the country in almost 50 years. Yet somehow he’s qualified despite having 0 political experience.

You guys are okay with casualties as long as it isn’t you. Sounds like something outta shrek. lol

i hope that clear things up

can we talk football now please

if you guys told like to continue let’s take this to general forum.

Japan - Tunisia. 4-0

Japan comfortably thrashes Tunisia and we have to struggle not to lose against the lowest rank team in the tournament

Khak bar sare Taj, GN and all the coaching staff.

[Damavand]

GN just said in the pre game conference, for the game against Egypt, US government has allowed the team to go to Seattle 2 days early as well as stay the night after the game.

Good. They deserve to be treated as equals with all the other teams in the tournament.

There is no curse of Asian teams man ,, you either come and play football or your just there in vacations ,,, hoe many times have we seen Saudi Arabia and Qatar do this …. They basically like spend over $100 million on there team change 2 to 3 coach’s and then show up get beat. It is about planing and consistency the long game not short ,,,, no coach can make you a better team in 3 months ….

Asia went from amazing underdog results until IR Iran played and since regime's team faltered, all Asian teams have been playing horribly with bad results. Not only is IR a curse to Iran, they're a curse to the whole continent! Impressive of them tbh. Their curse knows no boundaries."

You think this whole opposition movement is about going to nightclubs and drinking in Iran again because some old dudes once told you that and you decided oh yeah that sounds about right, let's run with with that? Lol, That's insane.

He hasn't been in the country in almost 50 years, and hopefully you're at least smart enough to figure out the reasoning for that, but you think that disqualifies him as a transitonal leader to get Iran past the current regime that's been taking everything away from us and murdering us anytime we've tried to oppose it? 0 political experience? What do you think he's been doing since he's been in the US? He's been a political acitvist for a free Iran for more than 40 years (ever since his early 20's when most men still have their heads up their ass), and has done 100's of TV interviews and appearances and met with political figures in Europe, U.S., etc. What else was he supposed to be doing while his country's been overtaken by a bunch of thugs who've been licking their chops for a chance to murder him? What kind of political move besides that does he have? Did you expect him to become a Che Guevara type militant figure and lead a small army across the border and free Iran? Would that've been enough for you to give him credit and recogize him as the most prominent opposition leader? I bet you would've came up with some BS then too, like oh why did he have to get his guns from the US, why couldn't he manufacture them himself...lol

He's been dealt a certain hand that nobody else would've had the composure and wisdom to play as well as he has considering all that his family endured and what he's had to witness as a young man watching a bunch of jealous, ungrateful, gullible Iranians being duped into turning their backs on his father after everything he did for them, and watching him die at 60 years old in a foreign country after being bounced around between countries, and then the death of his young brother and sister - and all this time he's stood tall for his family, raised a beautiful family of his own and never stopped advocating for a free, secular, and prosperous Iran.

I am just honestly baffled as to how ppl are still this simple minded in the year 2026 to deny the facts and come up with their own bs version; the only possible explanation is having religious blindfolds on which closes the mind and narrows perspective. A religion that's supposed to teach love and peace but in reality causes a ton of hate and violence in the world and is at the forefront of all major problems and conflicts.

There's no point in even talking to someone with this level of intelligence. Enjoy football and your trash ass Team-e hokoomati. No further comments.

Today is the 12 year anniversary of Messi breaking our hearts in stoppage time.

FIFA posted it… so hopefully luck will be on our side today!

[OFFSIDE_1]

The announcers were spot on. KSA team is badly coached. Knowing that they have no chance against Spain, they should have just parked the bus and went for a lower goal differential loss and maybe even a miracle tie. So now down 3-0, they go back to defensive formation.

The brilliance of CQ is what we miss

one interesting note from the commentator. Only one player on the Moroccon team was born in Morocco
