The tournament will be held in India and is scheduled to be played between 15 September and 2 October 2016. Group A India (H) Iran Saudi Arabia United Arab Emirates Group B Australia Japan Vietnam Kyrgyzstan Group C South Korea Malaysia Oman Iraq Group D North Korea Uzbekistan Thailand Yemen
Iran has a great chance at this tournament if Mehdi Mahdavikia is appointed head coach, he would be the first decent appointment for U17 since Doostimehr in 2013. In terms of technical skill of players, Iranian players are at the level of Korea or Japan, if not higher. The difference lies in the coaching and intelligence of young players from an early age.
Iraq 2-1 South Korea I didnt watch it. I was watching Iraq vs China in the FIBA Asia Challenge quarterfinals. Happy both our teams won.
Sad to see mercenaries in the Iraqi national team. Galloway has Iraq's most assists per game, most points per game and most rebounds per game!! There's no honour in having American blacks in your team. At least unlike the Qataris, Iraq is getting something out of this dude (lmao Qatar can't even buy a ho properly). If Iraq beats South Korea, it'll be Iran and Iraq in the final
So they came and focked up our country, stole our oil, destroyed our economy, and you are saying we cant borrow one basketball player ? They owe us more than that. He is playing for Iraq willingly. we did not promise him anything and we dont have anything to give. Dont compare us with Qatar.
Our defence is a joke, our teams used to have tall CBs, but this time I don't know how coaches managed to find such small defenders, they aren't even taller than Thais. But most of the players seem technically gifted, especially, captain Oston Urunov #7 reminded me Akhmedov passing through 3-4 players alone
I don't expect anything special from Iranian team because our football federation doesn't believe in youth development. All IFF cares is about our senior NT. They might go up to knock out stage and disappear there.
I said What the ******** with our korean youth team??? And I see socceroos losing to vets... Hell of performance we need to change a lot
during the qualification the Saudi's won 6-2 but we got them in the finals, now as the group runners up we will face Japan they got 6 points and 15 goals without receiving any already
