Womens Football Thread

Considering she hasn't played for TM for 7 years, I find this whole story fishy.

Doesn't excuse our draconian hijab laws, but her story doesn't line up.

Kicked off Iran's futsal team for not wearing hijab outside Iran:

Now that they have to wear Hejab , may be they should try Nike. it look better than Iranian version.

Nike unveils their first product aimed at Muslim women, a sports hijab.

If we could take those stupid hijabs and pants off we could probably directly qualify everytime.

Not a bad tournament for us considering the fact we haven't had a women's team for 2 years. Our level has improved so much from 4 years ago it's incredible. Qualifying for the Asian Cup next time around is a realistic goal for us.

Iran 1-6 Vietnam

Syria 0-12 Iran

Iran 12-0 Syria

Iran lost to Vietnam 1-6 and is therefore eliminated from the Women's Asian Cup Qualification.

Iran scored the first goal to lead 1-0, but then it was 1-2 at HT.

Vietnam is most likely qualifying for the Women's Asian Cup, along with Thailand, South Korea and Philippines.

China, Japan and Australia are already qualified. Jordan is also qualified because they are the hosts for the 2018 Women's Asian Cup.

Loved the second goal.....I wish the women's TM could compete on a level playing field; i.e. dressed for football, not skiing.

^ This win makes the loss against Myanmar all the more sour!

We could still qualify for the Asian Cup if we could somehow defeat Vietnam.

And the last match against Syria should be easy.
