YOU ALL KEEP FOLLOWING OUR FOOTBALL LIKE BLIND SHEEP!

^^ when you get a shitty penalty call early in the game it fucks your morale and motivation

Um, clearly not, we scored 5 goals after being down by 2 or 1 goals the whole game?

it's a non-Iranian behaviour if you reflect and analyse a rather embarrassing performance against an average Saudi team? If you lose 1-0, 2-1 or even 3-1, then you're right that some guys exaggerate but the fact that a team showed two different faces (offence and defence) gives me a hard time to talk about a "team" rather than individual players and this, however, gives the impression that the coach miserably failed to adjust his "team" against an equivalent opponent.

This is nothing to go pages after pages about. It was a close match and is done and gone. Stop this BS. Only Iraqis and Saudis like to continue this BS to make us look really give a f*** about this insignificant match. There are some members here that are obviously non-Iranian and love to drag this s**t.

AFC, IFF they're all garbage and our football has slow progress. But this game against Saudi i blame our weak mentality and lack of focus.

That's something, that can't be solved by the federation itself. Maybe if you have a coach like CQ who can heat up our boys

But that bicycle though..

Damn that was sexy

[teammelli91]

Take it easy guys.

That penalty was BS, but what about the other goals?

Our defense was not good and therefore we lost.

[eerooni]

As long as our people in IFF are weak. Illiterate and don't speak or write English we will have our rights abused by AFC. Put me in charge of correspondence and I will write a bin of a letter to AFC copying FIFA That will arrest the ref and the head of the refereeing committee!!!!

I've asked two friends who are referees. I showed them the scene and both agreed that this was a penalty caused by our no 4 who was completely clueless today. One of them also said that in one scene the Arab defender played the ball with his hand in the penalty area which the Asian Referee didn't penalize.

I'm a ref too but how? I didn't see enough contact in that PK call, looked like he threw himself down.

with better coaching and basic tactics, we could've avoided such a loss.
point is there are a lot of factors besides reffing and AFC.
I am not denying that there is a genuine bias towards Iran when it comes to shitty refs and AFC.... but we are more than capable of not letting the ref or AFC affect our game.

The bold part is actually what everybody agrees with and I think CAGE is also not denying that we had our own weaknesses. Still it has to be said that even if we play good & are the better team, one bad call by the referee can affect the whole game and change the result. While arabs always easily get away with things despite not being even superior, Iran always has to give 2 times more than them to compensate the blatant disadvantages. This has been the case for so many years and so I totally feel what CAGE means.

[CHaMiLLionaire]

In this case, of course you can, (btw. we also scored 5 )
You can’t FULLY put the blame on them - nobody actually did that anyway - but you can blame them to a large part.

Point is that even despite not playing good, with a better refereeing and less of the usual dirty arab games - we could have avoided such a loss. And I think this thread is not only about today...

I am not upset AT ALL with the loss. It does not bother me.

Iran's U-19 will be in 2017 world cup. This is important.

Iranian players need to face Arab teams to learn how dirty they play. Iraq and Syria used to and still play better than most Persian Gulf Arab states. Bahrain which was an Iran's island is notorious for dirty playing, after them it is Saudis.

Arabs have given bad name to AFC. If I were Iran, I would leave AFC and create another federation with Central Asian teams. I am GLAD Iran left West Asian teams and will play in Central Asia instead. Good choice.

When you get scored on 6 times, you cannot blame the ref or afc.
