Iran vs Egypt warm up talk

[webmaster]

Edit: just saw Sam Van Dam's latest post. Holy shit. He is much worse.

This guy did all this. He had been constantly doing this on the forum and even you believed that he was innocent. I warned him to stop and did you read what he said to me?? so please understand that I have experience and I know the type. At least you saw what kind of a parasite he really was. I try to be nice but come on he says why I spent 30k to see TM?? I bought my tickets in november 2025. I have spent maybe 100k during the years here and he doesnt see that. He wasnt here to discuss football, he was here to insult people who were complaining why TM did not do anything for all those people who died. So to me he was on a mission here and not to enjoy. I dont judge people over 1 post. I see the whole package every day.

[Golefarsi]

All these hate... we are the same people and we should work togheter not against eachother...

Fuck guys. I feel bad today. TM deserved better.... i have followed TM since 1998 and have seen alot of dissapointing moments. I feel broken and i really dont think the other matches will go our way.

just want to say to everyone to stay humble towards eachother. Only Iranians care of Iran, our culture and our history. Plz guys be good to eachother.

[a_m]

Taremi was hella nervous when he got the penalty,,, he know he was going to miss it before he shot it

Ghoddos should have taken the shot ….

or Ramin ….

[persiangodfather]

I feel so bad for the players
even if they support the regime
there is a point to be kind to one another and work towards a fair future iran
but when the other side becomes terrorist and refuse to care for its people or country and rather wage a shia holy war what are we supposed to do? please some 1 tell me

Also thank you webmaster JAN for all your hard work and dedication to this site, I found this website when I was in high school in 2005 trying to find news about Iran before 2006 world cup. I broke up with my mexican love because of that game LOL so yes I know I been talking shit but Ill always love TM

[Ardalan]

You little faggot piece of shit. You think I care to get banned? For the past 20+ years this place was a sanctuary for me. But you ruined that. You said you were boycotting TM but you spent 30 thousand dollars to watch them play Belgium.

I asked you a month ago.. were you a shah supporter in 78/79 or were you agaisnt him and you ignored me. So it’s obvious you were agaisnt him. You’re suppposed to be boycotting TM yet you keep this website going with articles

you ranted a few months ago that you were better than all of us and we are all fools and you want to delete this website because you are better than us and don’t neeed us then you asked for donations lol you little pussy. Then you have 30k to watch out beloved TM play in WC. The IRGC must treat you well, after all
you help them gain power after you protested our king. Now you say “javid shah” but 50 years ago you were agaisnt him. You fucking jackass.

You threatened to send people to my house to kill me but every day I open my door waiting for the all mighty webmaster cuck, yet he’s nowhere to be found. Maybes he’s going yoga with little Rezas wife, who knows.

40k didn’t die in January, if so what’s the stats?

10k on Friday? 30k Saturday?

all fuck assholes celebrating our country getting destroyed based of off some fake numbers

fuck You all that support our land getting bombed and fuck you all agaisnt our TM

JAVID BABA SHAH

and fuck that sos Khersi Reza and all of you

tomorrow you’re ganna wake up and be like wow TM did well, can’t wait for Asian cup. lol faggots.

for those of you that stood strong with TM and our homeland. I thank you and love you all

but the rest of you, vatan foroosh, better apply for Israel passport because you will never see Iran again after you waged war on our homeland. You piece of shits

Team Melli I love you. Iran. I love you. For the members here that stayed strong for our homeland and TM I love you

for the fuckiny losers on “webmasters” payroll fuck all of you

and you guys call yourself Iranians lol fucking peasants

lastly fuck you “webmaster” come to my house to kill me, as you’ve threatened, you limp dick little shit ayatollah supporter. Fuck you and your shitty music career. Kooni

Saranjam gooreto gom kardi, shieye safaviye arab-parast.

Tof bar to va be madaret ke to raa be donya avord - sarataane farhange Iran.

I'm getting more pissed now afterwards the more I think about it. Had GN had a little more khaye and dared go for the victory a little quicker than the last 10 min, we would've faced Australia ffs!

Now instead we have to pray that other results go our way so we make it..

I’m not a big fan of GN but:
-we hit the crossbar twice
-missed a penalty
-had a goal taken away from us (which I don’t agree with)
-had more dangerous shots on goal than Egypt

Egypt did better than us in posession and passing. But who cares?

GN, did his part in this specific game. VAR screwed us.

Brother it's not a debate to agree or disagree on; the rules are the rules. We would've been quoting every rule book and technicality ever created had the situation been reversed.

According to google AI:

“The Semi-Automated Offside Technology (SAOT) used in the 2026 World Cup tracks tracking data and ball contact using automated data points, but it is not completely infallible:
1. Finding the Exact "Point of Contact"
The biggest potential for a slight inaccuracy is determining the exact frame the ball leaves the passer's foot.

• The Tech: The official World Cup match ball uses an internal inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor transmitting data at 500 Hz (500 times per second).
• The Flaw: Even at 500 frames per second, a player running at full sprint moves a few centimeters between frames. If the VAR official selects a frame a millisecond too early or late, it can artificially alter whether Khalilzadeh's toe is past Hamza Abdelkarim.

2. Choosing the 3D Tracking Points
The tracking system uses 10 to 12 dedicated optical tracking cameras underneath the stadium roof to track 29 data points on each player's body.

• While 3D digital scans of players' bodies are done before the tournament to improve accuracy, the software still has to manually map limbs when players are heavily bunched up—such as the chaotic, crowded scramble that occurred in Egypt's box.

3. The Motion of the Ball
As noted by critics on community forums like Reddit's World Cup community, soccer balls are flexible. When a player strikes a ball hard, it compresses against the foot. Deciding whether the offside line activates at the first touch of the compression or the exact release can be a margin of a few centimeters—which was the entire distance of Khalilzadeh's offside call.

So, while the technology is incredibly advanced, you are right to question it; the "ruler" might be perfect, but the millisecond the referee chooses to freeze the image can slightly alter the If you were to manually redraw the offside line to give the attacking team the benefit of the doubt, Shojae Khalilzadeh would be onside by a matter of millimeters.
Because the official VAR call was determined by a tiny margin—essentially the tip of his boot—any slight adjustment to how the line is drawn changes the entire outcome.
Where You Could Shift the Line
If you were to redraw the lines yourself, there are two legitimate technical arguments you could make to place Khalilzadeh in an onside position:

• Shifting the Kick Point: If you select the video frame just one millisecond earlier—arguing the ball had not yet fully left his teammate's foot—the Egyptian defensive line would be a fraction of a second higher up the pitch, putting Khalilzadeh completely onside.
• Changing the Body Point: The VAR software selected Khalilzadeh's extended foot as his furthest forward scoring body part. If you argue that his foot was actually level with Hamza Abdelkarim's leaning shoulder or hip, the lines would overlap.

The "Margin of Error" Argument
Many soccer leagues, like the Dutch Eredivisie, actually use a 5-centimeter "thick line" system. If the attacker's line and the defender's line overlap at all within that 5cm margin, the system automatically defaults to the linesman's original onfield decision to favor attacking soccer.
Because the 2026 World Cup uses Semi-Automated Offside Technology, it uses ultra-thin, millimeter-precise lines. If the tournament used a "thick line" rule, your redrawn line would mean the goal stands, and Iran would have won the match 2-1.”

I don’t think in this specific case, the offsides call is as factual as many are making it out to be.

Yeah I read what he said and it was disgusting. I didn't read any previous post of him that was of that nature, but his latest post was way way over the line and a ban is deserved.

Golefarsi is 100% right. We need to be humble towards each other.

I genuinly don't care what opinions people have here. I don't know anyone here personally, and I'm only here to discuss football.

What bothers me is the extreme use of language (from either "side"), and I don't exaggerate when I say extreme.

"Tof bar roet va be madaret" is the latest comment in response to Sam Van Dam's meltdown.

I don't decide what's allowed to say here or not, but I can only urge people to ignore offensive posts and not stoop to that level.

Once again, I want to make it clear that I mean offensive posts by anyone. No matter if they support TM or not.

I have been visiting this forum more or less every day for the last 15-17 years and it has always been a "comfort zone" for me where I could stop thinking about other things like work and every day life. That will always be appreciated.

People being divided won't change that, but I believe for me and for others, the way we speak to each other will affect the future of this fantastic community.

These heated debates have to end sooner or later, and I think we can all agree to that.

The Same VAR system is used for every other match, regardless of the line thickness, etc. I happen to think the fact that they use some body parts as opposed to planted feet hence the word Football in determining in-line position is kind of backwards (Taremi's goal against Belgium would've been good in that case), but what I think or you think about the line thickness or the VAR technology doesn't really matter.

What matters is consistency across the board; the rules have been established and apply to every other match and this entire tournament - so while you can debate why or how some rules are determined in the first place, or ways they could improve on eliminating inaccuracy - it's the same across the board for everyone and Iran's no different. They may change certain things in future tournaments, but in this tournament, the rules are the rules, and the way they call those rules have been established - just have to accept it and move on instead of asking for special treatment. Had they taken care of business vs NZ - it wouldn't have come down to any of this. At the end of the day, you get what you put in and Belgium and Egypt deserved to finish 1st and 2nd in this group.

I respectfully disagree. There is a pick & choose when it comes to which plays they want to video review. So no, it is not consistent across the board.

Beyond the line thickness, the point is: the VAR technology is not 100% accurate. When it comes to detecting offsides within centimeters, precision of when to freeze the frame, and drawing the offsides line can be flawed.

Considering the timing and gravity of the call, they need 100% evidence it was offsides to overturn the verdict goal. Not hide behind fallible technology which can err on matters of centimeters.

Regarding NZ game…it doesn’t matter. We threatened Egypt’s goal more than any other team in this group, but I think we got screwed by VAR. In this game precisely, no, we didn’t get what we put in, and unanimously all pundits say Iran deserved to win and Egypt got incredibly lucky,

[persian-eagle-13]

This is not rocket science. I said it from the beginning, this team with this coach is doomed. They should consider themselves lucky to even be in this situation with 3 points.

I still think we wont go to next round, IF and BIG IF we do, we can't play scared sh*t for 90 min and hope for long throw and long passes.

I have also dealt with people like Sam Van Dam, and it’s a shame he would take his mask off and insult webmaster in such a way. I’m not on webmaster’s payroll or whatever that weird allegation is, I’ve had disagreeing ideas on several topics with multiple members, but we’ve always tried to keep things civil here.

that post says a lot about what someone like him holds deep in their beliefs. Hatred towards RP supporters, a deep yearning for us to just accept the status quo and that we tainted him watching his beloved senior home team do exactly what was expected of them. Underachieve in the big moments, and he’s thrashing about now since he had to come to grips with the fact he put his morality aside to watch this team again underperform and now praying for a miracle to become Swiss cheese on Thursday. It’s just sad, many here are willing to just ignore that irgc is infiltrated within this team. The “technical staff” Taremi complains aren’t let in are because they are tied to IRGC. Foreigners fall for these propaganda statements, but how can some of you? We know how pervasive IRGC is in Iran and you think IFF isn’t full of them?

this whole you hate IR because you love Israel trope is tired. I am more on the left, webmaster is more on the right, but we both agree that IR is a cancer in Iran and we need to be united against them and everything they represent until they are dead and gone. Giving up and just being like “it’s never going to change guys! Let’s just tuck tail and support the team and get on with our lives!” This is the rationale of IR. Don’t post on this forum in my opinion if you’re of that opinion. You will be the nazi apologists in 20 years and cry to your grandchildren that you legitimized IR and whitewashed IR so you could watch Moghanlou run in molasses and “play” football.
