Iran Hazfi Cup - 2017-2018

I dont really understand why pp fans and players are complaining about the ref. Both teams had their chances to win even in penalties. Didn't really play a factor in the outcome of the match.

PP needs to sign Mensha to a 3-4 year deal especially if Taremi ever leaves for Europe.
I had a feeling SN might pull it off. They are always that sneaky team with very underrated talent on their team.

The foreign players on SN is probably the best in all of Iran

They will have a home advantage if they make it to the final. Khorramshahr is few kilometers away from Abadan.

good think pp is out of hazfi cup

[irani8perspolis]

wow what painful loss, for me this is one of the most painful and heartbreaking losses we have had in the last 10 years, we could have done something special this year in this tournament

also the dream of a derby in the final again is over for now

Esteghlal will probably not make the finals anyway.

I on the other hand think that this was a very good loss. Persepolis players are very tired. they looked it on the field in this game, in the last game and the one before that. players are more likely to get injured when they are fatigued. this is a WC year. a lot of TM players on Perspolis. ACL is starting soon and the league isn't going to get easier.
Hazfi Cup is the last thing that should be on these players' minds. they need the rest. No one gives a shit about Hazfi Cup.

Dude, that's just how it is in football! You can not just say "oh well the referee made a mistake afterwards, so it's all fine and even".


Imagine this scenario:

Two teams X and Y are tied 0-0 until the 80th minute and the game is pretty even. Then the referee makes a huge blunder after which team X gets a goal. Now team Y's moral is gone, they have to change their tactics and game plan, sub players in/out, take more risks etc.
So after the huge ref mistake giving team X the oh so important first goal, team X profits from all these factors and extends their lead to 5-0.

Now in the 93rd minute of the game after everything is already over, one of the linesmen makes a mistake after which it becomes 5-1. So, a totally unsignificant goal in comparison to the 1-0. Now, can we afterwards start saying "well the referee team made a mistake on both sides, so it's all even now"?! Hell no! Because the mistake leading to 5-1 is certainly not the same as the mistake leading to the decisive and crucial first goal scored!

I get what you say but the ref in Baaderan game was awful and his misstakes was bad for both teams.

The ref in the Sanat Naft game was bad also and made misstakes, this time mostley in favour of Sanat Naft.

I hope Esteghlal wins the cup so we have a good team in AFC CL next year.

The thing is that we all know that they dont want another derby in the final so every year they try to eliminate PP or SS, this time it was PP..

Esteghlal 3 - 0 Iranjavan Bushehr

Majid Hosseini scored today. I have great hopes for him as a defender as he was a great with the U-17 team that was led by Ezatollahi. How is he doing this year in Esteghlal?

[Amin_]

I know it's only Iran Javan, but I'm not even kidding when I say that this game should have ended at least 10-0 or higher for Esteghlal. Lost count how many opportunities only Ghorbani and Esmaeili wasted.
We really lack a natural killer upfront.

Bazi Sanat Naft ba Esteghlal (today) endakhtan aghab az tarzeshun match is postponed without loudness

Really sad that no one seems to care about this tournament.

Second semi-final was played today, Khooneh be Khooneh beat SS Khuz. in extra time. They are the first Lig1 team to make the finals since Gostaresh almost 10 years ago

[naderb94]

They messed this tournament up by placing the finals during the season instead of after the league season ends.
Second, they need to bring back the 2 leg home-away games rather than a one game final in a random city since fans won't really travel.

Yeah I agree. The current format doesn’t make sense. Home and Away is a good option but that would be too much for League Bartar clubs. Especially the clubs who participate in the ACL too.

به گزارش وب سایت نود و به نقل از تسنیم، پس از اینکه روز گذشته (یکشنبه) تیم فوتبال خونه*به*خونه بابل از صعود به لیگ برتر بازماند، امروز مدیران این تیم در اعتراض به تصمیمات فدراسیون فوتبال و اتفاقات اخیر، از حضور در فینال جام حذفی انصراف دادند.

باشگاه خونه*به*خونه با ارسال نامه*ای به سازمان لیگ که به امضای قاسم حسن*زاده، مالک این باشگاه رسیده، انصراف خود را از شرکت در فینال جام حذفی اعلام کرده است.

به این ترتیب تیم استقلال بدون انجام بازی برابر خونه*به*خونه قهرمان جام حذفی می*شود.

Khooneh be Khooneh officially withdrew from the tournament. If it actually happens, Esteghlal will be crowned champions without playing the match.
