"This Yemeni-born playmaker has been the hottest property in West Asian football since the 2012 Olympics. All kinds of big clubs have been linked with the midfielder -- Manchester City, Arsenal, Valencia and many others. This January, you'll be able to see why."


Let's hope Teymourian comes to camp in shape, so he can officially connect his cleats with the face of the hottest property in west asia.

I have been checking out the competition at Asian Cup and I have to say, it is not going to be easy at all ..

Asian teams, have improved significantly. Australia, Japan, Korea, UAE, Qatar, Uzbekistan, Saudi are tough teams to beat.

Don't want to disappoint you, but can't see how we are going to be better than all those teams at the moment....

Saw Qatar against Australia. They beat them 1-0. From what I saw in that match, it will be a tough team for TM to overcome.

We are expected to progress through the group stages but it'll be a tight squeeze. I not expecting any thrashing from TM that's for sure

Not dissappointed at all..
You got this all wrong bro! How are we NOT better than all of them but maybe Japan!? Simple dude. We are Iran and can achieve so much with so little. The only team I would really worry about is Japan, and even them we can beat. Our team may not be as sync as others due to lack of friendlies/preparation and what not, but with good tactic and plan we can reach the final. Have more faith in our boys man. Especially after the very promising performance in the World cup. But maybe you and I are following different teams here, who knows. lol..

Yup couldn't say it any better!

Qatar announced 3 more friendlies before the asian cup against estonia, oman, and new zealand. That will make it 15 friendlies for them since July. Iran has had only 1 so far but 15 friendlies will also tire them out.

Good because they will need all the friendlies they can get so maybe they come out of group stage. Let them go and fish few more players from Africa too, even then, we will beat them again, and again and again. lol...

This overrated guy couldn't really do much harm vs Esteghlal, he won't be able to do jack sh!t vs TM. Besides, Jahanbakhsh/Azmoun/Ezzatollahi>this guy

"Football - Qatar Sports Club loan coach to Iraq for Asian Cup
Qatar Sports Club (QSC) have allowed head coach Radhi Shenaishil a leave of absence to take charge of his native Iraq at next month's Asian Cup.

"With the spirit of sincere cooperation in the Arab sports world, which we hope will lead to friendly ties between the Arab people, the Qatar Sports Club Board decided to accept the request of the Iraq Football Association," QSC said in a statement on Sunday.

The former international defender took charge of Iraq previously in 2009 before standing aside for Bora Milutinovic prior to the Confederations Cup campaign that year.

The 48-year-old represented his country at the 1996 Asian Cup, where he was named in the team of the tournament as they reached the quarter-finals.

He also coached Al Zawraa in his homeland, helping them to the 2011 Iraqi League title and also led the country's under-23 team.

He was only appointed by QSC in September after Czech Ivan Hasek's was swiftly axed following two opening defeats in the Stars League.

Shenaishil will take charge of Iraq's warmup matches against Kuwait, Uzbekistan and Iran before they kick-off their Group D campaign at the Jan. 9-31 tournament in Australia against holders Japan, Palestine and Jordan.

The IraqiNews portal reported that the 2007 Asian Cup winners met up for a first training session on Monday with 20 players in attendance.

Shenaishil will join up with the squad for a training camp in Dubai next Monday after taking charge of QSC's final league fixture on Saturday before the league halts for the Asian Cup."
