Iran vs. Papua New Guinea

[Surenas]

Guys what's the matter, even teams like San Marino or Gibralter had chances to score against Germany in the back, so who cares, we 8-1, that's pretty professional, I'm satisfied.

Guys we currently have three threads open on this game: "Iran vs. Papua New Guinea", "Iran 8-1 Papua New Guinea: Result", and "Iran vs Papua New Guinea: Match Time?" can we merge them or delete two of them?

So far, Iran 7 - Papua 1

shameful that we let one in

Shameful? Have we reached that level of arrogance and cockiness? What are we? an invincible footballing nation? This is just a friendly, if we're to get so emotional and angry over such meaningless friendlies, then what's the purpose of having such friendlies to begin with? a demoralizing plan?

Whoever conceded that goal should not be playing against Syria.

Are you serious? Without even having watched the game and how the goal was conceded? and more importantly under such terrible weather and pitch conditions? I suggest many of you good fellas to get over your emotions, think straight and rationally before making hasty comments which may become the farce of the forum.

1st goal: Dejagah
2nd goal: Taremi
3rd goal: Gucci
4th goal: Ansarifard
5th goal: Gucci
6th goal: Ansarifard
7th goal: Gucci
8th goal: Rezaeian

Another loud and clear reason for Ghoochannejad to start. The guy has over and over proven to be of a high quality striker, be it at club or TM level!

On a side note, I beg of many of you folks, to lighten up, get real and honest to yourselves, and stop being so cocky. The current TM is playing one of its best football (If not the best) ever since the devastating revolution. Let's recognize and cherish this ABSOLUTE SOLID FACT!

Now concede all of the above, and start loving my new wife Margot joon!

So, who was the goalie?

Well it all depends on what all professors and experts of PFDC decide. Seems like they're not thoroughly happy with either of our options, as the only criteria is not to have conceded any goals in any match (Yes TM's phenomenal defending display has spoiled us all). PFDC experts have set the standards so high which makes it super hard for them to decide whom should be our GK!

[Ando Teymourian]

Haha good ol PFDC, we are seeing goalies get cut from TM for a goal that nobody has seen.

The best part is, nobody knows which keeper conceded the goal. Classic

Conceding a goal can always happen. But it hurts, because we had a clean sheet so far in 2016 and if we had kept that, it would have been a fantastic record and story.

Thats why we have friendly games: to have room for error and experimentation. Better to concede a goal now against a bad team and improve our weakness than to concede a goal in a qualifier!

[ShervinJ]

For all we know the goal could've been an own goal from one of our defenders 😂

[pres80]

Guys, lets pack it up and stop playing football. We should go back to playing hopscotch or marbles. We are a disgusting team and were not 150% error free and impenetrable in a friendly with goal keeper substitutions during a monsoon.

The PFDC professors and experts have set the standard that 0 goals must be conceded per year. That means 0 goals can be conceded after 10 years. That also means that 0 goals can be conceded after 50 years. anything less than that and we lose our shit.

I'm glad it did rain during the game so the lads would be a bit familiar with the hellish rains in that region. Not only the rain, but the crushing humidity as well.
So to score 8 goals IN RAIN is a difficult task irrespective of the opponent (which was indeed extremely weak). At the same time I'd like to know how they conceded. it'd be interesting

is this game considered as a fifa match or just an inconsequential one?

Macedonia scored one on us back in June as well Martin jaan but that was also a friendly, so as far as competitive matches go (and that's really the important ones) we've had a clean sheet in all our matches in 2016.

And hope to finish that way + a nice bang like the result in this match!

On another note, tomorrow (November 12th) will be the anniversary of the last goal scored on TM during a competitive match - lol

FIFA match I belive, if we win against Syria our points will still increase from 837 to 841
