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.

Didn't except this, Iranian shooters were disastrous in this year World Cups. I lost hope even for one medal for Asian Games later this year. but you never know what will happen in shooting.

Carlos Queiroz never fails to surprise , he announced his 23+1 man squad and surprised everybody by dropping 2 possible starters and created unnecessary problems for the team. now everybody talks about those players. Iran didn't concede a single goal in 9 out 10 AFC qualifiers and now he dropped the backbone of that defense who was Iran NT starter for 10 years , that guy just had a heroic performance for his club (which is the most popular club in Iran) in AFC Champions League playoff match with a 89th minute goal. he also dropped the best player of Iran league (coming from another big big club here) I always liked Queiroz but just can't understand this, when he has problems with some club coaches he acts like this by dropping their players. turning them against their coach/club etc. of course I don't think two players can change much in the field but dropping popular players without a logical reason will have consequences. there are so many questions about Queiroz list but we will have a player in our squad who didn't play football for a year !! he was clubless for 6 months and injured for another 6 months ! or for example he invited a guy from MLS but then dropped him before poor guy even land in Tehran airport ! but on the positive side, nobody can analyze this Iran team, because even Queiroz himself doesn't know who is going to start vs Morocco

my weekly news * We had the Asian Cadet Wrestling Championship last weekend, Iran won the team title in both Freestyle and Greco competitions. in Greco Iran won 4 Gold. 1 Silver and 2 Bronze medals while in Freestyle Iran was even better with 6 golds and 2 bronze medals. and most importantly they won all possible quotas for the Youth Olympics, maximum two in each style. * Iran won the Asian Women's Futsal Championship trophy for the 2nd time in a row. they had a good draw and easily advanced to the final but beating Japan in the final 5-2 was a very good result. with this result Iran apparently qualified a girls futsal team for the Youth Olympics but looks like only one futsal team can go to the competition. and Iran will pick the boys team which is much stronger. * Mojtaba Abdeini won a bronze medal in Moscow Grand Prix in Sabre Fencing. which is his second individual medal at a Grand Prix. with this medal he is back to the top 16 in World Ranking, alongside our other fencer Ali Pakdaman * The most important event of the week was the Iran Wrestling team trials. UWW website had a long report about this, I don't need to post results here https://unitedworldwrestling.org/article/hassan-yazdani-wins-iran-team-trials-abdevali-disqualified I'm really disappointed with the results and level of the competition, so many big names missed the trials and based on the new announcement all of them will miss the Asian Games and the World Championship. there won't be a second chance for anybody. as mentioned in the article, the biggest news was Abdevali's disqualification, World Champion and Olympic bronze medalist had a fight in his second bout , got disqualified and today they banned him for six months.

apparently Iranian officials were told by AFC that they have to pick one team to send to YOG in Futsal. which Iran will pick the boys team for sure . I can't see that in official qualification documents. maybe AFC's internal rule ?!

Asian Cadet Wrestling, quotas in Women's wrestling (two sports per event) 43kg: 49kg: 57kg: 65kg: 74kg: Japan won gold in all Youth Olympics weights, now they have to pick two weights ! they also held extra 3rd place matches between bronze medalists in case they needed a 3rd wrestlers to qualify in that weight. and freestyle results. Iran qualified in 3 weights, which means they have to drop one of them 48kg: 55kg: 65kg: (2nd place ) 80kg: (2nd place ) 110kg: (2nd place ) personally I expect Iran to drop 80kg quota. it will also depend on other continent results. I would prefer to avoid Russia !

Looks like Milad Beigi is not invincible anymore. he was untouchable last year but now he is losing here and there. no surprise. Iranian athletes can't stay on top for a big while . also interesting to see Dina Pouryounes winning a medal for the Netherlands. the last time she was in Iran NT she accused the Korean coach of Iran of flogging her !! not sure if that's enough for being a refugee even though you always can lie. Nur Tatar also has Iranian citizenship now as she is married to an Iranian taekwondo former NT member Mehran Askari (niece of our NT coach) . but she is not going to represent Iran instead we will see her husband in Turkish national team soon.

Always nice to win a medal at a WC/GP. it doesn't happen everyday for Iran. even though Pakdaman lost a winnable match to Curatoli but that's fencing. Abedini had to beat two Olympic Champions to be on the podium after a while. but South Korea is getting better and better in Sabre, this guy Oh Sang-uk is even better than Kim and Gu. I was secretly hoping for a gold medal in Fencing in Asian Games 2018 but that looks impossible because of South Korea. they are just too good.

Asian Cadet Wrestling, quotas in Greco-Roman 45kg: 51kg: 60kg: 71kg: 92kg:
