Men's football R16 draw

 

Today was a really sad day. both Iran and Saudi Arabia tried their best to avoid South Korea. losing to Myanmar was shameful and ironically one more goal from Myanmar could eliminate Iran ! and Iranian players were wasting time in last minutes scared of a possible 3rd goal. I think Iran played with mostly reserve players probably wanting a 0-0 draw but Saudis let North Korea score two early goals which probably confused Iranian coaches , they didn't know what to do. the first goal oh yes. but second goal wasn't intentional , it happened because Myanmar had no idea about "fair play" when an Iranian player was on the ground and Iranian players were waiting for them to kick the ball out and after that, our scared Croat coach was just yelling to his players to just "pass the ball forever" !

 

I think the table is quite unbalanced and we will have two not-so-good teams in semifinal. but that's it. we have the toughest possible road (and we deserved it for unfair play) South Korea and then Uzbekistan (the current U23 Asian Champion)

I hope that Korea will crash Iran over 5-0

I was checking some wrestling draws for Wednesday and I think our guy Hossein Nouri at 87kg is probably the luckiest wrestler we ever had ! first with 12 wrestlers only 4 of them are in top half including Nouri and the other 3 wrestlers are almost the weakest wrestlers in the competition. and if we replace TKM with that Indonesian guy it will be exactly the 3 weakest wrestler. Turkmenistan is guaranteed a bronze medal a wrestling I would like to see Indonesia and Thailand wrestling for the bronze

 

I really hate these kind of drawing system. some of our wrestlers had/have to go through 2-3 world medalists to win a bronze ! but at least one of our wrestlers got extremely lucky. even though Nouri was favorite against anybody.

Gymnasts from Indonesia and the Philippines have achieved top 3 positions in qualifications. It will be amazing if they manage to get a medal!

Well I knew something like this will happen.  Even though I actually thought we will be eliminated like 4 years ago. Still very shameful for a country like Iran. Just try to play football
