Seems to be lighting up by Senegalese media and may have some leg to it. I think we were also trying to play them before WC 2018 in a friendly?

We would destroy the Columbian team!!! I have seen them play and they are horrible.

Lmao is this satire?

[Dortmund]

Senegal is a top top team. Would be a great test

Depends on whether or not you can spell.

Would be very entertaining to watch our defenders try to stop Sadio Mane.

Definitely more excited about this than the Mali friendly. Lets hope it happens.

LOL.. I think the only team that has Columbia in its name is either DC United or University of Columbia.

^ This is great news. So, what happened? Why all of a sudden a couple of relatively good national teams are interested in playing TM? Perhaps, its a combination of overall international disgust with Trump administration and what US is doing to Iran in the midst of a horrible pandemic (they started another set of sanctions against a bunch of Iranian banks that have nothing to do with Sepah or military like agriculture bank providing loans to farmers and mortgage bank and are denying Iran a $5 billion loan to deal with the pandemic's economic impact see here https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/13/o...gtype=Homepage) and the overall issues with the global pandemic that has caused teams to be more understanding/compassionate. Either way, I am very happy about this.

Go TM!

Bosnia Please..!!

time for revenge..!!

Bosnia Please..!!

time for revenge..!!

Both would be great but yes Bosnia of course much stronger than panama. I hear Bosnia still has koon-soozi from their beatings they took from us when we beat them 5-2 in Tehran and came back from 2-0 to beat them 3-2 in Sarajevo

Go TM!

reason is bc euro teams have Euro qualifying AND nations league now. Bosnia just finished euro qualifying (didnt qualify) and they have a rare empty slot in their fixture list (they can play 3 matches but only have 2 Nations League games and no qualifying). Since most euro teams are shoving 3 matches of Nations league/Qualifying into their international breaks now they dont have any room for friendlies. So naturally teams from Africa, Asia, America are looking to play each other and the few euro teams that have an opening in their schedule have less euro options to choose from.

Asia is wide open in terms of no WCQ games yet determined so their schedule is wide open. Best teams in asia are Iran, south korea, Japan so naturally they will get a lot of interest for friendlies.
