TM - South Africa Camp ahead of AC 2015 | News/Photos/Videos

[O-ZoNe]

Platinum Stars FC are in the relegation zone of South African Premier League, mashallah Nouri scoring a hattrick against South Africa's finest

Was this match really cancelled after the 1st half? Someone posted this elsewhere but without a source. What a joke!

[Martin-Reza]

Platinum Stars are second from bottom in the league and they played two days prior to this match but have no further matches scheduled from now on. So it would be possible that it was their A team, but even then, they probably aren't a quality side.

Ali Karimi is in the shape of his life and he doesn't want to play, khah tu saret baba

Karimi is I believe 37, did you want him to play on until he is a complete useless player, or would you have preferred for him to retire at more or less his peak? IMHO for every player it's always best to retire while being on their good form.

He had already been bashed for his come backs after his 3 early retirement announcements. And was being criticized by many for not have already hung his boots, comparing him to Ali Daei.

On a different note, in the recent years it's been a total disappointment to read Iranians comments on Internet in any regard and on any topics. People using foul language, resorting to profanity , mocking others, fighting with one another over the simplest things. Looks like Internet for Iranians has become a venue to vent their lives' frustrations and anger.

Looks like we have turned into the most pessimistic, overly suspicious and hateful people on the planet!

I cant help but feel Pooladi is the key to our success in the asian cup not because he is a great left back but because the whole line-up will be potentially messed up without him. If he is there Hajsafi can play up top ... he is in great form and has experience playing next to Dejagah. The Hajsafi-Dejagah-Jahanbakhsh combo would be sick to watch.

Khak tu sareh kasi keh beh to tarbiat amookht!

Karimi is I believe 37, did you want him to play on until blah blah blah

It was a joke people... you know because he was injured and unfit for a lot of his late career? nevermind

Montazeri somehow always reminds me of Mr. Bean

If we win first two games of group stage and are assured of progression to the next round, I think Beiranvand should start the third game.

He seems like a quality goalkeeper and he needs his chance to shine.

Knowing CQ ridiculous decision making (eg. Not selecting Azmoun, bringing on useless Reza haghighi f*ck it up against Argentina) I have a feeling that he won't give him a minute of playing time.

According to Umm Salal's twitter, Pejman Montazeri got injured in training and will miss the AC.

[Martin-Reza]

That would be a big blow .

According to Umm Salal's twitter, Pejman Montazeri got injured in training and will miss the AC.

Where in the twitter account does it say this?

Edit: Just found it. The tweet was written 3 days ago. Surely we would have known sooner if Montazeri was out of the tournament? If the picture that PK posted of Nekounam and Montazeri is recent, then I don't think Montazeri is unable to compete.

Its on the front page of mehrnews... They announced it via twitter, but the TM doctor is waiting on an X-ray before ruling him out. Also Heydari needs a few more days to be fully fit.

TM back in Iran:

[Ghermez Agha]

Is it just me or is ando always the center of attention when TM arrives back in Tehran at the airport? It's as if the news reporters only take pics of him and only ask him questions
