TM-News- Vol. 2

[greenguy4life]

If behind close doors then chances are there will be no broadcast either ...!? & possibly even no official game reports too..!!??
Either way we badly need a good test match such as this to tune up TM for the new year challenges.
Let's hope bahador is in good form & manages to score more than one goal vs Morroco ..! I'd be impressed with a possible victory but would guess it will end a very low scoring Tie..!

Btw, isn't the Hazfi semis over with yet !? How soon could we expect the new TM list published .!? I think many here are bored & seem to be arguing with each other over silly stuff for the sake of argument😁

On the Facebook post it says "arriadia" next to the TV logo which is a Moroccan channel.

^Okay, then it seems to be happening. Lets all give a bilakh to IFF and IR.

Sure but how was this IFF's fault?

Sure but how was this IFF's fault?

Didn't they say it's canceled / not canceled all the time?

Didn't they say it's canceled / not canceled all the time?

Na man that was just BS newspapers I'm pretty sure.

[Karimi 8]

Hopefully it happens and we can watch. Miss seeing TM play and they need the test.

[Nokhodi]

Didn't they say it's canceled / not canceled all the time?

No. Even to date IFF hasn't said anything is happening.

Its all been newspapers.
IFF messes up but its low hanging fruit. Not everything is their fault.

Misinformation and lies are the cornerstone of this Islamic republic. They lead us on. Then say it's cancelled and now it's suddenly on! So it was really NOT the UAE authorities that supposedly denied us the game. It was always on. But for some reason IFF wants us to be on our edge for giving us a much needed friendly. This has been the case since 1979 keep the Iranians hungry. Keep them wanting keep them begging them throw them a bone and rule them
Forever !

Inaccurate. Problem from day one has been UAE officials not providing a place to play. The Moroccans were very keen for the match to take place, and they covinced the UAE officials to open the stadium to them.

IF we had this many Legionaries, we would claim that we are winning the world cup.

IFF has an official MOU signed with UAEFA, how can Morocco "convince them" to comply with a MOU between two federations??!!

Most of their legionares are either from second division or relegation zone of first division European leagues.

I think their team has the same strength we have with all of our legionaries. Without Azmoun, Ezzi, Torabi, JB, Gucci and Ansarifard, our team seems toothless. If we had Mosalman or Dejagah in MF we had something to say. PAG is missing too, so we see how our alternative CB can operate. M. Ansari is a better LB and Pourghaz is not convincing!
