Poll/Do you care about Iran football and WC with what's been happening?

[taremiscores]

So where would you like his statue to be placed since it was less than a few months people were calling him Shah, King and savior?

Wait, could O-ZoNe have been right all along when he stated CQ was all hype?

Yes CQ paid for things but he was also handsomely compensated for both WC on par with the top performing countries!

Edit: I still hope he proves me wrong and TM advance both the cause of social justice and to the 2nd round. I have my doubts of course in the latter

It's not in my vernacular to ask for a statue to be built for anyone.

He's still a fantastic coach and manager. And if we are talking about football, he is best to manage this team. I know he answered angrily there and wish he would clarify in the future he didn't come off right.

Just disappointed in him for what he said - he could have gone in many different angles. But his answer was very IR-like.

Anyway, because of acceleration of street protests - GO TM! Win every damn game.

This is a different time. We are in the midst of a revolution by young people who have united a strong majority of Iranians inside and outside Iran under the banner of "Woman, Life, Freedom". The excuses of the past that they are just athletes no longer apply. I don't care what Daei and Karimi did with regards to Ahmadinejad. What matters is that they are standing on the side of people today. I recommend that people show a tiny bit of sense and grasp the gravity of the situation. The players and staff had an opportunity to say they would not go to Reisi's palace and make a statement. CQ sitting next to that mass murderer and making promises to him made me sick. So much for learning a tiny bit of standing for freedom and democracy for someone who lived in Western Europe most of his life. Watch the video below to see who is leading this revolution today. For those who don't understand Persian, ask someone to translate it for you. Also, if you don't understand it, this is the best time to learn how to read and write it.

Woman, Life, Freedom!
زن، زندگی، آزادی

I am really happy that this generation is leading the future.

The old generation of reformists, regime apologists, blame America/UK/Israel crowd, MEKs, LA talk shows etc. are all over. They are all now in the dustbin of history.

This generation is intelligent, wise beyond their years, and trust Iran-parasts. And they are willing to die to free Iran - they are fearless.

We are simply out of touch with the amazing "eighties" generation.

The regime openly fears them:

I'm not one of the people who gives the players shit (except for the Khayemals Torabi and Amiri) but technically they had the choice to not attend. There would be consequences to not showing up to the meeting. They chose not to risk their careers over it.
of course I'm not bashing them for going, but it's not like they were forced to at gun point.

i dont know if you can make that claim. I also doubt that the only thing at risk was their careers.

I can't defend the bowing and speeches though

Daei was not involved politically, and if anything was much closer to the centers of power back then. I know he either didn't wear a green wristband (or was retired) by the time of the Korea match. People do change over time, as some say, some realized at different times the real identity of akhond kesafat.

Daei's last match was versus Angola at 2006 World Cup.

7 players wore green band in 2009: Ali Karimi, Mehdi Mahdavikia, Javad Nekounam, Masoud Shojaei, Vahid Hashemian, Hossein Kaabi, Mohammad Nosrati.

No, TBH didn't know how, and then feeling so blah that letting them become batel. There will be my empty seat somewhere out there!

I don't think FIFA allows for refund. Also not allowed to sell or give ticket to other people.

Out of curiosity, did they print your name on your ticket?
I've never been to World Cup match. Although I've been to World Cup Qualification, AFC Asia Cup, AFC Champions League matches and tickets never had names on them.

In 2006 they did. The ones from this year I haven't even looked at that closely.

You Can easily sell your ticket. Just go on the FIFA resale portal, and your ticket Will be back on the fifa ticket portal. Of somebody buys it, you Will get your money back.

If you dont wanna go fine, but there are people desperate to go all over the World. Atleast give Them chance to go

Were the players forced to be so ecstatic on their 16 Nov photoshoot, on the day that so much blood was shed in Iran, from a 10 year old kid to an elderly man:

I don't think they have any access to that level of news.

Lucky them!

They seem very happy in all the pictures, hope they enjoy their experience.

Then again, all of these guys are millionaires living very good comfortable lives whether or not IR exists.
They'll be happy regardless of what's going on.

[amas20]

No they don't have acces to any news but they know that there is an ongoing killing and oppression, right?

Either you or the artist got that backwards. The patterns indicate that the wearer has been shot. These are the victims shirts. The murderers would have had a different pattern.

good lord give it a rest. First it was the Taremi photo with the IR flag you were posting non stop now this.

Honest question: what would you like the players to do? What was your expectation? To show up to the photo shoot with furrowed eyebrows and tears? Maybe some photos of dead iranian children? You think Fifa would post that stuff? You realize they are footballers at tournament, not warriors before battle right?

Also Ghoddos was at the photo shoot; does this negate his comments? Just wanna be clear which players I can respect and which ones i should hate.
