Re: Official Nekounam at Osasuna thread [R] That's the thing, for Iranians, Norouz (the Persian new year) is the biggest celebration of the year. Eid isn't as big amongst Iranians, even the very religious ones.
Re: Official Nekounam at Osasuna thread [R] of course he says he doesn't go to bars and discos and stuff..that's against IRI so he has to shut up about it.
Re: Official Nekounam at Osasuna thread [R] The only bright spot of the Iranian exports this season. He has officially become a starter, and thats quite impressive considering the league and the mid table position of the club.
Re: Official Nekounam at Osasuna thread [R] Hopefully he can do good and raise the stock of all Iranians. And you guys can send more Iranians to La Liga.
Re: Official Nekounam at Osasuna thread [R] Has anyone but me here watched Osasuna games? Javad is doing well, but I don't get some of the excellent praise that Spanish newspapers have been giving him! I am worried that by creating all this hype they may be setting him up for failure! He does a lot of running around the midfield and wins some balls after which he makes a quick 10-15 yard pass. He is not involved with offense much, and he does not make any playmaking like he does with TM. Comparing him to Mahdavikia a couple of years ago, Javad is not nearly as involved with Osasuna defense and offense as Mahdavikia was with Hamburg's. I have watched about 7 Osasuna games with Javad in it. He has definitly been improving, but let's not get carried away just yet. He has a lot more learning to do
Re: Official Nekounam at Osasuna thread [R] I'm just happy that he is seeing good competition every week to improve his game and perhaps open a new door for other Iranians.
Re: Official Nekounam at Osasuna thread [R] Goal ! Nekounam He scored a header at the 119 min against Bordeaux. 1-0 Osasuna are through normaly ... Edit : and they are. Osasuna will play the glasgow rangers in the next round.
Re: Official Nekounam at Osasuna thread [R] Nekounam MOM according to uefa.com. http://www.uefa.com/competitions/uefacup/index.html#
Re: Official Nekounam at Osasuna thread [R] Javad Nekounam's dramatic goal in the last minute of extra time against Bordeaux sealed Osasuna`s place in the last 16 of UEFA Cup. [youtube]_0xNmlmalSY[/youtube]

Re: Official Nekounam at Osasuna thread [R] Towering header! Is he a good header of the ball, never really looked into that aspect of his game. Great goal, I think he is a quality player for that team, and it shows
Re: Official Nekounam at Osasuna thread [R] Yep he is an excellent header. He scored already goals with his head for both Pas and Team Melli and his first goal for Osasuna he also scored with his head not to mention about how many headers were narrowly wide or saved by the GK so far this season.
Re: Official Nekounam at Osasuna thread [R] Nice job by Nikounam. At this rate he certainly qualifies for Asian player of the year.
