Jahanbaksh scored a bicycle kick goal yesterday in premier league in Brighton Vs.  Chelsea match , looks like the Iranian on fire @MHSN

 

That was quite a goal :hearts: and even after a day that goal is still on top of the football news here. good for him he was completely forgotten , genius Wilmots didn't even invite him to the NT for those 2 crucial matches. :wall:

Former Dutch international Rob Rensenbrink has passed away aged 72, after fighting a muscle disease for years. He is, at least here, mostly known for the 1978 World Cup Final in and against Argentina. After days of harrassment (think stuff like locals trying everything to make as much noise as they can outside the hotel, all kinds of threats and so on), the Dutch team still managed to fight back to 1-1 thanks to a 82nd minute goal by Dick Nanninga. In the dying seconds, Rensenbrink had the chance to make history, but hit the post...leading to extra time in which Argentina won.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Dragan Skocic becomes the new Iran NT head coach ! I'm sure none of you guys never heard of this guy :d maybe even our Croatian friends

 

he coached few mid table or weak teams in Iranian league in past few years and delivered "good results" with them. he is a nice gentleman but they hired him only because they were out of options ! obviously Iran can't hire expensive coaches anymore. and beside that even so many local coaches turned down the offer. why ? because fans in general don't like local Iranian coaches and an Iranian coach will be under huge huge pressure after the first defeat.

 

the only Iranian coach who was willing to take the job was a mafia boss who coached "Team Melli" before in 2007 and failed but fortunately his club didn't release him. that dirty guy coaching the national team was my nightmare, so I have to say I'm glad someone else took the job.

I mean if you take for example the last World Cup it was clear that Iran has some talents and the only thing that was missing was the coach who suppose to make it all work in Israel it’s one of our problem for many years so I’ll hope for you that this new head coach will bring this change and improve your National team he sounds like a person who know the system and I guess he bring with Him a European type of game but anyway congratulations

well I think Carlos Queiroz did fine with Team Melli, and Iran was just one shot away from the Round of 16 of World Cup, it was a tough group with Portugal, Spain and a very good Morocco. when Queiroz took over the NT was a mess and he managed to bring the worst NT ever to the 2014 World Cup.

 

this guy never coached any big team, this is his first time with a NT, and it's still a very tough task because Iran lost twice already in WC qualifier and the situation is win or tie. very tough task ahead of the new coach, but at least I'm glad the mafia boss is not the coach, as much as I always support the NT, I would never cheer for any team being coached by this guy.

Well the fact that the Mafia boss isn’t the head coach is a good news to any sports lover and as for the new head coach sometimes the fact that he comes from a mid sized even small team is playing as a benefit but only time will tell(and the next match of course...?

    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He chances the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for smal/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
    • Harris is totally green on foreign policy. It will probably be a policy 100% led by Biden's people. Harris' main campaign emphasis is on abortion and women's rights.
    • So much for "everybody's laughing at us if we elect Harris"
    • My favorite tennis tournaments of the year (wta/atp finals)
    • was also invited to the special edition of the Bolivarian Games and seems like  is not participating.
    • Yeah this was amazing, the entire weekend was one massive rollercoaster every which way for everyone
