BREAKING: Iraq Doping Scandal

[_Navid_]

Just want to say I love you guys more than ever. Such a pleasure to have other Iranians with same passion.
I have done as much as I could in the past 24 hours.

We have a great community! We may disagree on some/many topics, but one thing is for certain, we love IRAN and our TEAMMELLI!

Hopefully we don't get any bad news in the next hours

[DireStraits]

We have been victim of this issue a few times now. We had the olympic team losing 3-0 to the very same Iraq last time. We have also had Sepahan losing 3-0 to some arab club a few years back. Maybe this time it is our turn to be on the winning end of this affair for once.

Maybe it works for them but not us. I hope we get result but I doubt it. The test has been done in Iran. Will they approve or call it fake?
Iraqis says FIFA has never told them about this.

First I heard, within 5 minutes from now

The Iran National Football Team Facebook Page has posted the following:

شايد فقط يک رويا باشد...
همه ایران منتظر ساعت 4 بامداد...

حدود 2 ساعت ديگر پرونده شکايت ايران از بازيکن دوپينگي تيم ملي عراق در AFC بررسي مي*شود و ايراني*ها براي اولين بار منتظرند تا يکي از پرونده*هاي انضباطي به نفع*شان به پايان برسد. انتظاري که شايد فقط يک رويا باشد.

به گزارش "ورزش سه"، در ایران شاید هیچ*کس دوست نداشته باشد تیم ملی اینگونه به خانه بازگردد و بعد از نمایش مقتدرانه در مرحله گروهی و سپس مقاومت 10 نفره برابر عراق که با شکست در ضربات پنالتی همراه بود، همه دوست دارند تیم ملی را دیدار مرحله بعدی این جام ولو با شکایت از بازیکن متهم به پرونده دوپینگ عراق ببینند.

بعد از رایزنی*های فراوان و نامه*نگاری*ها، قرار است این پرونده تا ساعاتی دیگر در AFC مورد بررسی قرار گیرد و امیدواری*ها به پیروزی ایران در این پرونده است.

علی کفاشیان، رییس فدراسیون فوتبال هم امروز سراسر امیدواری بود و این را بارها در مصاحبه*هایش اعلام کرد و به هرحال شاید نصف ایران امشب را تا اعلام نتیجه این پرونده بیدار بمانند و منتظر خبر پیروزی باشند. امیدواری*ای که امیدواریم یک رویا نباشد و البته به نظر می*رسد زیاد هم نباید به آن دل بست.

همه چیز تا ساعتی دیگر مشخص می*شود و اخبار تیم از اردوی استرالیا خبر از امیدی می*دهد که شاگردان کیروش را در کمپ نگه داشته و فعلا بلیط بازگشت را به تاخیر انداخته است.

Lesson for next time though guys... we should get off our arses a little bit sooner instead of being negative. It took a whole 24 hours to get a few people going. Imagine how much more we could have done with an extra 24 hours.

people might always disagree on some stuff but on other stuff they might agree with each other. thats life man

[Arde72]

The pfdc hive-mind is setting themselves up for yet another disappointment. Happens with every tournament/big team we play.

If you really think that an event that's heavily funded and supported by Arabs will weigh in our favor, you're dreaming. Disqualify a whole team based on one players actions? Nope not going to happen.

Player will most likely be suspended and fined, but that's about it.

[K. Nader]

The verdict will be out in 1.5 hours.

[Zamboor]

ey who is buying me the dinner when iran arrives on the 31 of mars to play sweden?
