Farsi = Persian . this is amazing people don't know that. Farsi is the Persian word for "Persian" in Iran ! we don't use the word Persian or Persia in Iran, in Kabul they call it something else but it's exactly the same. there are other languages in Afghanistan too. same as Iran, half of Iran population speak a second language (Turkish/Azeri, Arabic, Kurdish, Turkmen, etc)

 

of course there are small differences, some common words in Iran are different in Afghanistan. (and Tajikistan, they also speak Persian)

Cool  Personally I've never used Persia for Iran, but looking at terminology only, I always liked 'Persia', because it sounds way more historical

yeah I know but the word Persia is confusing, as it confused some of you guys here already

 

Persia/Persian is the name for the country, the race and the language !!! but ironically the word "Persian" is not Persian . it's English and it probably comes from "Parsi" which is the old version of Farsi. we call the language "Farsi" and the race as just "Fars" and as I said the name Persia for the country is a bit problematic. other races here don't prefer to use that word for the whole country. for example when they picked the slogan "Princes of Persia" for our football NT for one of the World Cups (2014 if I'm not wrong), some people here didn't like it AT ALL.

 

PS: by using an example from previous World Cups I just tried to make it a bit on-topic

in 2nd Rd , there'll be 10 groups of 4 teams , 1st team will make it to the final round , where only 2 teams will play each other home and away matches to decide the 5 qualified teams to WC

it seems FIFA didn't approve Iraq to host its home matches, I read different news about it. first says they just can't host it in Basra, 2nd says they can't host at all and it seems Iraq Football federation threatened to withdraw. this is kind of interesting because right now Iraq is hosting the West Asian Championship !!

 

personally I believe Iraq deserves to host if they can guarantee safety. I just don't think Iran playing in Basra is a good idea. they can play anywhere in Iraq, just not Basra. that will be dangerous for our players. Basra was battleground during the Iran-Iraq war not long ago.
