Iran picked up its first defeat in 2.5 years and after just one defeat everybody wants our Croat coach to be fired :lol:

 

he took over when we were in deep shit after losing to Bahrain and Iraq in the 1st round (thanks to charlatan Wilmots). before this Korea defeat his record with NT in 15 matches was 14 win and 1 draw (which is great by any standards) still nobody gives him credit for these results. the credit always goes to the players.

 

yep that Korea match was disastrous and Iran was completely hopeless but half of our key players were missing for different reasons (COVID mostly)

 

but it's amazing how people care more about the names more than results:facepalm: our current coach Skocic used to coach a club in Iran division 2 and that's why everybody still making fun of him. everybody says "someone who coached in Div 2 should never coach the NT"

 

so it's highly possible that Iran fires the coach after tomorrow match vs Lebanon and start looking for a "big name" someone terrible like Benitez or Klinsmann

of course our federation is a mess with no president in charge, you can't predict anything with them. we might end up having a local coach :facepalm:

That's a bit of a shame, depending on how the next two days go, Iran could be in Pot 2 and depending on the draw, could have their best chance ever at reaching the elimination round.

in past couple of months all media here were calculating and considering all situations to see how we can be in Pot 2 :d (which will be a huge advantage in the draw) but losing to Korea killed that chance completely. even though it was a slim chance from the beginning. no way Iran could be in pot 2, if Portugal or Sweden quality.

 

we have some kind of obsession about advancing to the knockout round but I don't think that can happen this time too. we were very close in 2018 though.

I think you are right, Iran needs MKD > POR, POL > SWE and EGY > SEN to make it to Pot 2. Perhaps they'll get lucky and get USA/Mexico.

 

Going on the other extreme, we could get a Brazil/Germany/Iran/Wales group of death

Everyone would like to be in the host Qatar group anyway - even those teams from Pot 4. Obviously Asian teams can't count on that by design. Poland was lucky enough to be in the hosts' group both in 2002 and 2006 which only made our failure look even worse :lol:

I'm afraid even that won't be enough now :d after losing to Korea (and Japan beating Australia) Iran lost its current place in the WR to Japan by 1 point or 2. even beating Lebanon tomorrow won't take it back most probably because Japan will beat Vietnam too.

 

I would like a ENG/USA/Iran/whoever else group :d I always wanted to see that Iran vs England match. two of the biggest matches in our history were against English speaking countries (Australia and USA) I like to try our chance against England this time :lol:

 

I hope Germany gets Qatar to balance the groups. any group with Germany and one of those top teams will be brutal.

That guy making the winning goal must already have 10 statues in the country now that the sun is up :d 

They built so many statues in that country in recent years, they might not have any space for more :lol:

      Fencing FIE World Cup 2024 - 2025

      By copravolley · Posted

      I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.

      Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't.

      Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.

      Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.

      No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal.

      Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?

      Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.

      No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
