The four rumored friendlies we heard about this morning, three confirmed by Estilli as New Zealand, Peru, Senegal and then Cameroon I believe are still all useful (well, maybe not NZ, but the other three).

I would also still keep the Japan friendly and now we can accept the Qatar Cup invite with them, Spain and Brazil.

Peru, Senegal, Cameroon, Japan, Qatar, Spain, Brazil is great prep! Would love to see if we can squeeze a friendly in before the WC begins to make sure the boys are synced up. Supposedly there is only time for 7 friendlies for each country (4 in June, 2 in Sept, maybe 1 in Nov).

If half of these happened it would be our best preparation leading up to a WC ever.

These are great Teams and would help our players to improve there overall game and get familiar with Top Teams. BUT none of these Teams would prepare us for the style of USA, England, Wales/Scotland/Ukrain IMO.

It is great that our game against US will be the last game. If it would be the opener and we would loose that game i guess the moral of the players were absolutely destroyed, specially with the pressure from media/fans/officials etc.

None. Japan is not confirmed.

As someone mentioned in the other forum, now the government, sports ministry, IFF have no choice but to open the purse strings.

Any big loss against England or USA will be humiliating for them. Other teams they are less concerned about...

I expect this will click over the next few days and we will find ourselves with friendlies being organised.

[PSGman#19]

Australia, nz would be good friendlies.

Someone said US has other things to do than prevent countries to accept friendlies with Iran.
Now they have a good reason

Skocic back to Iran to make WC Plan

Sko returned to Iran and will soon announce his WC plan after meeting with Majedi.

Skocic left Doha for Tehran this morning. Mirshad Majedi, the head of the football federation, is scheduled to return to Tehran tomorrow and a meeting will be held in the coming days.
In this meeting Skocic is expected to announce his plans to prepare the national team for the world cup.
the meeting will also discuss the schedule of camps as well as the teams considering Skocic to play friendlymatches, and then the head coach will take a few days off to rest and will be in Croatia

[DR Strangemoosh]

Much as I think now we need to replace him asap and get a proper coaching team (complete replacement of him, Estili, Bagheri and the others) with a pro team including a good coach, good fitness/keeper/psych team working non-stop behind the scenes...


Can I just say now that if they don't replace him, Skocic does make a good plan, is given full support, and somehow we qualify to the second round of the world cup...

I personally will help build his 20m statue outside Azadi.


Everyone wants him to be successful, even the realistic TM fans...

Really? he is again taking a few days off to go back to Croatia? Present the plan and take a vacation? Is more weight gain for him part of the plan since he had complained about his wife's cooking contributing to his weight gain? What is Mr. Estili's role in the plan? I will hold judgement until we hear more. Just a reminder that we qualified on January 27th and we have wasted more than two months. We should count the days to Nov 21st (first match vs England) and have detailed milestones.

Go TM!

He needs to go and take a chort in Croatia after putting mental energy into his "plan".

We have an PGL-level manager, let's not expect miracles.
