FIFA World Cup™ Group Stage: Iran - Portugal; Info, Updates & Live Reports (25.06.18)
Still few hours left! Will it be today our day? Monday 25 june 2018 will it be a historical day and we sent Ronaldo home! Inshalal it is our lucky day and we WIN. It would be a big suprise
Damn what nasty move by our fans ! they gathered around portugal's hotel , making noises and disturbing their peace so Portugal players can't get enough sleep .
Here's more details on the Iranian fans outside the Portuguese hotel from one of Portugal's sport dailies, A Bola:
"The National Team's entourage had a troubled night in Saransk, ahead of Monday's game against Iran. The hotel where the Seleção [NT] was installed in the city is located between a zone of bars and the own Fun Zone created for the WC-2018, creating disturbance to the rest of the group. The staff of the National Team made a complaint, even Cristiano Ronaldo was even seen at the window during the night and eventually created a perimeter of security to keep fans away from the vicinity of the hotel."
So, this was a serious oversight by the Portuguese officials and if you read the comments, that's who they're blaming and not the Iranian fans:

Bahraini fans did that to TM in their infamous 3-1 WC qualifying loss !!
Guys, please read the previous posts and at least TRY to keep your comments POSITIVE with just 6 hours to go.
The World Cup is a BIG party, in fact the biggest party in the world... the majority of the fans go there to have a good time and join this collective party and to exchange cultural experiences.
This stuff is just as important to the fans, FIFA and the host nation as what happens on the field, and with our government always projecting such a negative image or Iran, TM fans typically go out of their way to disprove that image of a boring and conservative if not fanatic nation.
If the Portuguese federation was stupid enough to book a hotel that's not only walking distance to both the Fan Zone (which is typically where the party starts) and the entertainment district (which is where the party usually ends up) but actually in the middle of these two areas, this has nothing to do with Iranian fans behaving badly.
In fact, I'm glad to see they were doing exactly what they were supposed to be doing, having fun. This was a major oversight by the Portuguese officials to pick this hotel and I'm actually very proud of TM fans being cultural ambassadors of a fun and happy nation, as it started in 2014, continued through Asian Cup and now in 2018.
The WC is about much more than football and results... just enjoy the party and wish that you were there to celebrate tonight in front of Portugal's hotel after we win.

You know thats the most stupid and bizzare excuse that people use to justify their wrong doing? PSG fans did it so what? Wrong is wrong ! no matter who does it!
