And btw now I think why UAE wont play in Iran. If they play they will betray Saudis. Its a 6 points for Iraq guys. Keep it in Iran
I hope that they somehow find a way to play in Iraq rather than forfeiting matches. How hard can it be to play in Basra? Neutral venues are no solution. Ela mata? When are we finally going to benefit from home games?
If Iraq plays against Saudi Arabia or UAE in Iran it will be like home game for Iraq. In that case, Saudi Arabia and UAE cannot say any more that they play their away game against Iraq in neutral venue. The stadium will be totally in support of Iraq against both Saudi Arabia and UAE.
Yup it is really good. It shows either there is good management or there has been huge investment. Such a project takes years to be completed in Iran due to massive corruption and bad management.
It seems our shitty FA gave another options to Saudis We play our home match in Australia but Saudis play their home match in neutral ground That sounds good somehow if it happens because we will play round 1 in Australia then we dont have to travel and we wait saudis to come to Australia. The shitty thing is I dont think Saudis will keep their promise and they'll ask to play their home match in kSA
I was thinking about the same thing. If KSA accepts to play their home matches in a neutral ground, you should pick a place closer to Australia so you won't travel much. Australia is better for you but Malaysia is also an option if you want to be nice to Daesh supporters.
The matches against UAE and KSA are very important as they will most likely be our contenders for third place. I can't see Iraq qualifying ahead of Japan or Australia.
It is called "Best football simulation" but there is no picture from our friends from KSA, Uae, Qatar or of course Bahrain and Lebanon. This is a lie !
The original poster was not into the history or origin of these stuffs, otherwise ME is the birth place of bed soccer/grass rolling and pretending to be hurt.
UAE has agreed towards playing in Iran, . If KSA don't accept I would happily take the 3 points over those bastards.
I hope the Saudis are told in no uncertain terms that they either play Iraq in Iran or they will face a forfeiture of their match and a 3:0 loss instead. As for this group, there aren't any teams that I am particularly partial towards. The pegging order for me is more based on who I dislike the least! I obviously dislike the Saudis the most and, hence, would love to see them finish last! As between the rest, I am ultimately mostly neutral.
UAE agreed to play with Iraq in Iran. Apologized and gave us our respect. UAE FA president said Iraq is a respectful team and they are okay to play with Iraq anywhere Iraq likes. Feeling sorry for Saudis. Oh wait im not [emoji38]
In the past couple of days Saudi media lunched rubbish attacks on our FA and team. They said things like Iraq is Majoosis and traitors and Saudis would spit on our faces if they saw us. Iraq FA published an official document to Saudi FA and demanded for apology or we will go for courts against everyone who attacked Iraq and we will cut all relationships with KSA. Saudi FA and Arab Media president gave their apologies and told us they will punish all those who attacked Iraq. Iraq FA president said he won't change Iran as our home ground. Feeling sorry for Saudis. Oh wait im not [emoji38]
Is it me or Saudis are crying big time on twitter? I hope it won't be a forfeit and they will have to come to Tehran
Australia and Japan will qualify for the World Cup, in my opinion. It doesn't really matter who finishes third. The Arab teams will sadly disappoint their fans, as always.
I guess "Majoosi" is the worst kind of insult in the arab world, and that it associates you with persians or ajams as Saudi call us. But I mainly heard the use of "majoosi" from Salafists.
Exactly. Saudi media wanted to insult us by calling us Iranians in the worst possible way. SFA president apologized but for me his apologizes are not accepted. Our FA must go for courts against those who attacked Iraq.
