lol yeah I became 34 few months sooner than you

Happy birthday for me!! , im now with 34 and im the older in the forum now.......except @MHSN has something to say......

that's exactly what I thought last night while watching the game...that's the capital mistake they did...they should have gone for the bleeding throat of an almost dying Real when they still had some enrgy left in the tank and not lay back waiting for ET or even just for another favourable episode (like Navas' mistake on the 3rd goal)...

wow. what a great tournament for Iran so far only one bronze so far for the girl's team but the boys completely dominated the competition. winning 6 gold (and a bronze) out of 8 weights so far is quite an achievement. specially in this sport where everybody is competitive.
 
 
 
 

I don't follow Cycling that much. but I think the Petrochimi Tabriz team doesn't exist anymore, the city of Tabriz also has another team "Shahrdari" though.
 
no idea. maybe they lost interest, and obviously Iran is getting weaker in cycling after some of those veterans finally retired after million years ! btw Iran used to host so many Continental tours per year. but only one of them is still alive. I guess that shows the level of interest of Cycling here. Cycling only making the headlines here after the doping cases.

Of course Portugal is not unbeatable (and remember we have a Portuguese coach) but first we have to beat (or not lose to) Morocco to stay alive for the last match. This is a very tough group but in football there is always hope. and we always can count on our fighting spirit which is always our biggest weapon.
 
well even Cambodia was probably better than random Sierra Leone team. that wasn't a FIFA day, and they were supposed to play with their local league players but later Iranian media found out there is no league in Sierra Leone because of Ebola we still don't know who were those guys, they didn't even want to leave Iran after the match the controversy of that match still continues. and people make joke of that team here like forever.
 
Queiroz confused everybody with his lineups. I hope Morocco coach scouts Iran based on those two matches, even though with Queiroz you never can be sure about anything, he always surprises with his lineups and formations .

that was even better, they were supposed to play Libya as well few days before Tunisia match but a last minute cancellation made them play "some guys" from Sierra Leone
 
The Morocco match is the key match for Iran (and actually for both teams) that's not surprising to prepare more for that one. but Queiroz tested some weird combinations in defense in both matches, giving up so many chances to Tunisia and Algeria.
 
btw we lost to Tunisia because of the Egyptian referee   a normal referee would give a clear penalty to Iran and few red cards to both teams

As the saying goes, if you can beat Lithuania, you can beat anyone in the World Cup. 

This is exactly when we celebrate the "Persian New year" in Iran. as we did yesterday.  unlike most countries in world the new year doesn't start at 12:00 am here. but it changes every year with the equinox .sometimes midnight, sometimes in middle of the day and etc.

Well then, happy new year  

Only the top 4 athletes will be eligible for the quota places. If you are unable to award someone the place will be reallocated to the Final Individual Qualification Tournament. So basically Asia will lose out.

I think people who watched "Game of Thrones" remember this quote "The North Remembers"
 
these days this quote is used in our football ! we had some problems (bloody street fights actually) in a match in our 2nd division league between two popular Northern clubs. (something like a derby) now the visiting team fans/players claim there will be blood if those two clubs meet again. here is how they showed their anger !
 
all 3 provinces south of the Caspian Sea are strongly considered as "North" in Iran. that's why they use this word "North". people from other parts of Iran like me rarely use any other word than "North" for those 3 provinces. so this really fits with "North of Westeros"

Honestly I think it depends on the user. Since this is a "song" contest, the video shouldn't matter that much. Personally, I don't care one bit about the video.
 

I have one song in consideration that is audio only. Of course it doesn't matter if it has accompanying video or not, it is a song contest after all.

I will once again mention that i usually don't watch videos, just listen music when decide points

I personally don't care if there is a music video or not because I only listen to the songs so having a great video clip or only a picture of random landscapes or the singer won't influence me

A lyric video is fine, we got 5th in last contest with that and we normally rank low.
 
Personally I hate live concert videos. Unless it's something with only a small crowd, the audio is often awful

For someone it does matter, for someone not at all, really. Last edition I gave 12 to Lithuania, and their music "video" contained lyrics only, and since I wanted to know what the song was about I used Werloc's translation and watched in them while listening... until I learned them completely  So, the outcome wasn't affected by video at all. I still listen to that song from time to time, love it so much. Sometimes video can help, but sometimes in can have the opposite effect too. 

LOL. that's why me (and most of my friends) vote in Iran. we are just afraid of the worst didn't now that also applies to European countries
