Iran Vs. Lithuania

[Roozbeh-G2006]

Is this a useful friendly for us? Will it help us get all the confidence we need to play against Spain and Portugal? Lithuania plays European football. They are like watered down version of great european teams.
They are like vaccin for us against the virus of Spain and Portugal.

Is this game televised or is it behind closed doors?

Ive heard behind closed doors

[Roozbeh-G2006]

Ive heard behind closed doors

Fifa has listed this game. Does that make any difference? If it is behind closed doors would it be listed by Fifa as an official game?

[Nokhodi]

Its just a warm-up meant to get the team a run-in and try some tactics. Its not mean to be too strenuous. That is the tradition for the final prep game for most teams.

[Roozbeh-G2006]

I was actually hoping that some of you guys here who actually know much more than me to come and post links and stuff. Please delete this thread as soon as a much better quality thread is posted.
I really don't mind.
And apology if I have opened a rubbish thread. I guess I couldn't wait any longer.
No offence is meant or taken.

I think It could be much more beneficial than just a warm up. If you watch Lithuania play you see they are not that bad. Perhaps they don't take football as seriously as other European nations? I don't know just thinking that.

also This:
"At first we thought that the match against Iran will be played at the Spartak Stadium, but it turned out that we'll play at the training ground. We won't be able to bring our strongest [players] as the date is not official... There will be young players as well as experienced ones [at the friendly]", Jankauskas said.

You guys are soooo cruel to him loooool

The poor fellow opened a legitimate thread to talk about the upcoming game and you guys ordered the closure of the thread

All it takes is for the first comment to be absolute crap and the rest of the herd will follow that one rebel


Now back to the original post of the thread

Dear friend

The game is told to be behind closed doors, as CQ is testing his primary squad and doesnt want the game to be televised
I think the reason the kosovo game got canceled was the fact that they wanted the game to be televised and CQ didnt

Will this game help our team? Absolutely, in my opinion any game that we play against europeans it will help us ease into our games against Spain and portugal and if we think bigger maybe even russia in the next round [emoji123]

Does Lithuania play in any way shape or form similar to our opponents ? I have to say no but this is the best IFF can do and we should take it with open arms


and
I think you are being too soft on these punks, I hope you are a fighter in real life

Best of luck to you

Will the game be broadcast?

[mahestan]

Ah yes, it's that time of the calendar when the WC is around the corner and all the wanna be TM fans show up and bombard PFDC random threads/comments.

Admins/Mod, may I suggest a transition period? I know there is a registration period that when someone creates an account it has to be approved, but maybe after the approval process there is a few weeks where they can't post/respond so they just get the flow of things around here.

We should have also capitalized on Argentina Isreal cancellation .. Argentina is desperate for a substitute.

You dont seem to understand.....this is a morale boosting friendly. It used to gain confidence.
If we play argentina and get beaten badly our boys will go into the wc feeling deflated.

[suissi]
