as Inter fan I know Cuper very well, you are right about him. the same happened for Iran in last WC when they opened up against Bosnia we conceded 3 ! feel sorry for Egypt , I still hope you take the last match seriously. The first World Cup win matters after all.

A bit disappointed with the results. mostly because Fotouhi and Rahbari lost to non-Korean fencers ! apparently there were some dubious calls in Pakdaman-Gu semifinal which Pak lost 15-13. Iranian officials are very angry about this. our coach Fakhri is also an experienced FIE referee . when he protests he usually has a good reason. in team events I only expect a silver in men's sabre. we used to be good in men's epee but not anymore our NOC was supposed to decide about Fencing quota at the Asian Games based on these results. their initial decision was sending only men's sabre and men's epee.

I don't think so , I just saw something like 200 dives from German players asking for penalty, none of them was even close. I remember one mistake from linesman in favor of Germany in 2nd half where they almost scored. (even though I missed few minutes of the match)

Congrats Mexico what a great and likeable team. I hope this time they can surpass the 1/8 final. btw nice job Iranian referee

probably men's team success inspired the women's team to try more but it's not like they are training together or having the same coach. I just hope our NOC changes its mind about not sending any female fencer to the Asian Games. women's sabre team deserves a chance.

very surprised to see an Iranian girl in top 8 in Women's Sabre. I assume that's for the 1st time ever.

I have to repeat again, I like you personally, I just didn't like the way you handled it, when you delete something you have to notify the user and explain the reason. even though I still don't accept your reason, this is not my fault if someone can't stand a simple question. and that wasn't a series of anything, cuz I wasn't going to respond, I never respond to personal insults , and yes I feel offended and that was disrespectful and I never stay anywhere when I feel disrespected, this is what I always do, offline or online. I accept this and I'm not quitting the forum but I'm still upset about this. I hope it never happens again. btw I had forgotten there is a "ignore list"

I like you personally but this response didn't convince me and that was no apology. again I didn't break a rule and anything else is not my fault. again you can ask Sindo how serious I'm about this. he knows that very well. I stand on my word. goodbye forum

I need explanation who and why deleted my post ? cuz I didn't break any rules and I'm not going to post in this forum at all until I receive an apology, you can ask Sindo I'm serious about this, I really like and enjoy this forum but I always stand on my word. consider this as my last post in this forum unless I get an apology.

and he just cap-tied him for Australia, few months ago that kid had to decide between his birth country Iran and Australia .

People talk about "luck" like they never watched football before, luck always plays a big factor in football we were unlucky so many times in World Cup before so I take this win proudly and don't give a shit about all these things. the first 10 minutes was terrible but since then the match was pretty even and Iran missed the best chance of the match (Azmoun missing one-on-one in first half) of course it wasn't the best match we ever played but who cares, at this level the final score is the only thing matters. after those two forced substitutions I was OK with a draw but we got a lucky goal at the end. even though we were always good on set pieces. that was Morocco's fault giving up that foul near the box. I just hope Queiroz uses a better formation for the next matches, we can play much better than this. but for now, we have 5 days to celebrate this. and I think people are already celebrating this on the streets. winning a match in World Cup is always something special.

well no he is not saying anything wrong, "Cheshm" means "eye" in Persian.

I was happy watching Saudi's humiliation but on other hand they shamed Asia as well, we will be the 2nd Asian team to play , I wonder if this result puts extra pressure on our players or not. 6 months ago I had much more confidence in Iran NT, but the last few friendlies and Queiroz team selection were disastrous ! he left some better players at home just beause of his personal problems with club managers. and what about our goalie ... I believe some people will have heart attack whenever ball comes anywhere near our box because of that goalkeeper people already made a lot of joke about this. but I still prefer to be optimistic, and want to believe Queiroz still has a trick up his sleeves but if we play with the same formation and the same tactic as Turkey friendly match it will be like a horror movie for the Iranian fans. and Queiroz is coaching Iran for almost 7 years and there is a VERY bad record about him, with him Iran never won a match after going one goal down ! his team is good as long as plan A works.

well they are investing A LOT on their league, maybe they get better in future but for now I don't think so. they showed improvement with Lippi though. they would be in playoff instead of Syria if they weren't for a last second penalty against Syria. but at least for now I don't consider them as a favorite to qualify for the next world cup.

hard to say, probably none of them, KSA is technically better than all of them but those teams are fighters unlike Saudi players, they give up easily, once they lost 8-0 to Germany, they lost 7-1 to Japan, or 5-0 to Japan. it happens sometimes for them, while with Syria you know they are going to fight no matter what, Australia was very lucky to eliminate Syria. no other Asian team has the experience to compete with the best of the worlds. but I would give that 5th spot to Uzbekistan or Iraq.

and guess what ? the mighty Australia let KSA qualify directly. and they needed extra time to score the winner against the 10-man Syria (who didn't have the chance to play 1st leg at home) to advance to the intercontinental playoff where they easily beat Honduras (from a very strong CONCACAF federation) btw of course KSA is the only AFC team that I don't support, they can buy and cheat their way in Asia but that doesn't work here.

Iran wanted to vote for the North American bid but after Trump's treat they preferred to vote for none

I'm waatching the FIBA America U18 Champs, USA-Panama and guess what, USA just finished the 1st quarter 43-0 ?!!!!!!! I don't know if it happened before or this is a record. but at least I don't remember such thing. based on previous results they were not supposed to lose like that !

thanks. so the current ranking matters after all ! I have to check the ranking how many Iranians are in top 50. I wonder if our federation has the motive and the budget to send them all to the next Karate-1 events.

That was an interesting tournament for the Iranians. since Istanbul is the next door, they sent a big delegation and while some of our veterans lost badly, we had some new faces in the final, to be honest I never heard the name of some of them ! while this is indeed a good thing, but for Olympic qualification we need someone to be consistent in all tournaments. winning medals by different athletes doesn't help ! but they were Iranians in all 5 male kumitee events with 3 gold and 2 silver. (and 3 bronze) female team was disappointing with just a bronze by Khaksar. and of course we already gave up trying in Kata. I wonder if there is any limitation about the number of athletes per country in this Karate-1 events ?

Is this Karate-1 tournament in Turkey the first competition counted toward the Olympic qualification ranking ?

I don't think they have a new coach, they started their progress few years ago and they are getting better and better.

in a genius decision, our TKD federation decided to not participate in this GP

I think Italy is the best team in the world right now, they beat two very strong teams this weekend. as for Iran, that was a disastrous weekend losing to Japan but I think we have to lower our expectations about Iranian volleyball.

Actually the second competition and not only for the women's team. their results were really bad until today specially in Air Rifle events. (no finalists in World Cups until today) new coach new system they say it takes time for shooters to adopt, Asian Games is their main competition this year. which is no easier than the World Competitions considering the level of China, Korea, India etc.
