Qatar won against Russia. Let’s see if we deserve be 25th and Russia in 50th place according to latest FIFA ranking which by the way sucks!

Speaking of heights, this Team Melli of Iran is the second tallest national soccer team in the world after Sweden I believe

I read about that, its complete bullshit.
Even Arabs themselves have widely varying gene mixes. If you told me an Iranian, a Syrian and a Turk from Turkey have similar genes I would believe it... compared to an Egyptian or Saudi or Emirati... definitely no...

Exactly. It doesn't take a genius to tell which countries are related.

Levantine arabs, Iranians, Turks, and Greeks share similarities of euro-asiatic mixing.

And peninsula arabs and North African arabs show much more African features, with a bit of East Asian similarity.

But I can tell you with certainty whether someone is a Levantine Arab or a khaleeji Arab.

I totally agree with you. I just quoted a few reports to highlight that things are not as clear as we might think and throughout the history there has been a lot of mix in this region.

^ I am not sure about the Gene Mix or "Aryan" genes.

genetic tests shows that most people on Iranian plateau (regardless of their so-called ethnicity or background) share mostly similar genes.

Interestingly a recent genetic study done by national geographic showed that Iranian natives share 56% of their genes with Arabs! That includes Lor, Kord, Tork, etc.
Obviously this is an overall figure and surely there are regional variations.

Other studies revealed a close genetic relationship among Iranian subpopulations which were well separated from other Asian and European populations.

In essence there is no clear distinction between many of the populations in the middle east given the historical demographic mix.

it's not a secret that the non Persians of Iran are taller.

Lurs, Azari, and shomali people tend to be a bit taller

I just realized 3 of 4 goalkeepers are Lor.
Lak, Mazaheri and Beiranvand.
I think Amiri is also Lor.

Mirzapour is Lor too.

What's in their water? how are they all so tall?
