let's take one game at the time and also respect the truce. Also Please DO not amplify anything that someone said about someone else somewhere in the world at some moment

a saudi arabia vs Iran final would be epic
i'm not sure if the bracket allows this though

As a guest of Khiabani, pashazadeh right before Australia match clearly said he would predict Australia to win the cup. He clearly said it and also mentioned about facilities and other issues. I laughed and said just wait man. This kind of guests do not have the right attitude and are not welcome and should not be brought to TV shows. I suppose they get paid for showing up. Also here we have a few like him. You have to really thank the Korean guest here who praises TM and the best of Asia. A guest who would be wanting to fight or say negative things should be ashamed. Our TM players are mature mostly and will not get intimidated by anyone who would say TM will lose to every team. They proved it already. I am going to count the goals that TM scores in the upcoming games. I do not bother to read any useless news or negative 'concepts'.
I think we will have 10 goals from three games. Just wait and see. Go TM all the way to the cup.
So Vietnam and Iraq can divide the 5 goals they will be scored on. 5 is not divisible by 2 so maybe 3 and 2 or 4 and 1. that implies winning 4-0 and 1-0 or 3-0 and 2-0. It won't matter who gets more of our shots into their goals. We are not racist and in football religion or race will not count and we shall treat everyone equally.

If you wish to bring up political or non-sport issues, go to General discussions and post your comments there. Here should be football related discussions.

I predict this Cup to stay in West Asia. could be Iran Saudi final.

It was a football related discussion to begin with ,however it got hijacked in to this I totally agree with you just couldn't let it end with that comment. I won't comment on it no more.
I don't think so I was not that impressed with Arabia performance, I know they scored 4 goals but really the NK team was hapless and played with 10 men much of the game. I think against a better team the Arabians will fold as it is their nature. I think the final is either an all eastern Asia game or Iran against SK or Japan. even though I don't think the Aussies game against Jordan is the end of their story at this cup neither.

They were actually 3rd favourite behind Sourh Korea and Iran before the tournament started ...

And not turn this too political or anything but those Hezbolahis he is referring too are also
Perspolis fans and TM fans , i dont know what he is talking about.

Not to mention that it was hundreds of thousands of these same Hezolahis went to our 8 year
war with Iraq , defended our people and gave thier lives for Iran as well as thier relegion.

[beevee]

well actually hezbollahis dont believe in nationalism. they might have iranian passports but dont really identify as iranian. we have hezbollah in iraq and lebanon too...they see themselfes as part of a bigger Picture a bigger movement (shia in first line) and not in first line as iranians. first Thing khomeini tried to erase when he came to Iran was nationalism.

sorry guys for this lecture in history and modern geopolitics

sorry guys I couldn't help myself I have to reply to this. I promise no more.

Young man,
1- no body lectures others here or elsewhere unless you're in you're in your school.
2- History is a conceptual science History of Vietnam war is two different things if you're a Vietnamese or American, so is the History of Israel and the Palestinians so forth and so on, according to which side you belong to, so giving history lessons by you is a humorous.
3- Geopolitics by definition obvious by it's name is study of politics according to geography, such as the effects of Chinese policies in south China sea in regards to American or anyone else's interests. It has nothing to do with Shia identifying themselves as Iranians first or Shia first. In conclusion if you're giving a lecture it would be very helpful for you to at least have a rudimentary knowledge of what it is you're talking about.
Finally as an Iranian I don't give a flying **** if the the people that are fighting for a cause that has direct benefit to Iran call them selves Shia or Iranian first. Just as I don't care if the person that scores the winning goal for Iran in the Final of this cup is a Shia Hezbollahi, Secular democrat ,Saltanat talab or whatever else, if his actions are beneficial for Iran then he's my guy, period. Just sayin.

Please remember that our game yesterday was on a monday in Abu Zabi which is
1.5 hr away from Dubai.

You will see a lot more fans vs. Vietnam on Saturday ,and probobaly a full stadium when
we play Iraq in Dubai on Jan.16 th.

The only match we play in Dubai will be the final group stage match against Iraq; every other match (assuming we finish 1st in the group) will be in either Abu Dhabi or Al Ain. Yes, the game was on a Monday but it was at 8PM local time. But date and time aside, 3000-4000 fans out of 500,000 Iranians in the country is pitiful. If someone has work, I certainly get it but the demanding 'fans' that are free but can't be bothered to just drive 1.5h are plastic fans.

Persepolis-ha is a naa-deed team (I use to support them). They haven't done anything in Asia and this guy takes them to the finals.

So he becomes a god to them. Shame really what an average coach can do in the Persian Gulf Pro League.

The AFC Champions League is a joke of a tournament. Western Sydney Wanderers (who won the tournament in 2014) were a club that was just formed 2 years prior in 2012! Like most things in the AFC, it's your typical khar-to-khar football with very little style and substance; there's a reason there's a lack of consistency in performance across the teams that take part in the competition.

The Eastern teams with the exception of Vietnam have been poor. Maybe they have a geographical disadvantage.

Honestly Vietnam seemed pretty poor today as well, in some occasions the players seemed to be completely lost in the field and their overall speed is very low.
