Well i'm korean and I have but only condolences for you. It sucks to watch team korea play against yet more meaningless soccer countries. It's good Australia is now in AFC. And it's awful news that Iran will not be around for the benefit of Korean soccer development. (ha ha~ i'm so self centered) Good luck, hope this thing gets settled. But I have a feeling it won't. Afterall, they didn't hire Afshin Ghotbi, so I can't imagine they would do things that might actually help Iranian soccer development. Maybe they think that soccer celebrations will turn into political riots.
While some will blame IFF and IRI, you will struggle to find a single Iranian who disagreed with the decision to get rid of Dadkan. It was what every football fan in Iran wanted. EDIT: here's a good article on a complicated issue: http://www.persianfootball.com/pfdcnews20061124414361159160.htm
Well hopefully the Iranians will learn their lesson and at least try to become more civilized. Unfortunately i believe fifa will soon reinstate them. Otherwise they'll crash a plane in the fifa building.
That wasn't funny. We are not impressed. Won't give you an official warning as I will put it down to a very poor attempt at humour.
Ok, thanks for your understanding. In a more serious note, i would like to give the Iranians some advice, When things dont go my way, i usually pray to GOD or to Jesus Christ. They are almighty and can really help. Or just get the Holy Bible and read read a prayer from there.
Um you do know that the majority of Iranians are Muslims right? It that just another attempt to be funny?
Dude I hope they get to fix this in time for the 2nd round because Iran is just getting things rolling with a 2-0 win against SK. It would suck to see Iran out. at this point. By the way I don't think FIFA is under pressure from USA or Israel. Guys if Fifa was under pressure then they would have banned us from the world cup. This has nothing to do with pressure, but we need to comply with fifa's rules.
This is a political move by the US/Israeli camp and has nothing to do with football. IFF will come out even stronger than before.
There are 5 countries (I believe ) that have similar violations yet only Iran gets the ban. Funny, not!
I am afraid that is exactly whats going on; US government wants to dismantle the government by hitting them where it hurts, and seeing how we are crazy about football, they make Fifa do such a thing so the people take it out on the government and cause domestic problems.
im not sure people realise what a disaster this is. you can argue that its political and that we need a chance cuz lets face it, iff is a joke, but what really matters is those millions of badbakhts around iran who live off football. Id prefer for there to be football for those people even if it meant our U23s playing in each game. There are some points that can be made, but iranians wont stand for this. they live off the beautiful game, and this will be the start of the 2nd revolution if its not resolved. dont forget that practically its a disaster too - WCQ isnt that far away. We'll have a terrible seed if we cant sort this out before hte AC.
That was about something else and Portugal solved it. It was about a club that wanted to go to the world sports court and FIFA told Portugal that if the club does that Portugal will get banned internationally but it didn't happened so FIFA didn't do anything. Cameroon was banned but they accepted what FIFA said and FIFA lifted the ban. Same story for Greece and currently Kenya is banned but they want to start from zero before accepting the demands of FIFA. Its easy, if our ********ed up football federation accepts what FIFA says they will lift the ban otherwise they won't.
When are we Iranians going to accept our own problems instead of blaming it on others , come on man this is the rhetoric coming from the mullahs , this is what they want you to believe and I feel sad when people like you fall into their traps of BS . The mullahs interfere with everything in Iran , and football is jut one example , and its about time FIFA took action against this , we don’t need the mullahs controlling our football too.
Indeed, it's a political move and I just can't emphasize enough how much stronger we will come out of this. It's no secret that both FIFA and AFC are corrupt, and most likely the other confederations. It's time to make a difference for the well being of the game across the globe; it's our time and our place to make it a 21st century mission to bring about changes for the good of all. IFF needs to dig into both FIFA and AFC's history and look for dirt and expose it all to the world. Let's face it, football is not the way it used to be. The World Cup is not the way it used to be. We can make a difference, it's our call. Start contacting FIFA and AFC and file your complaints.
Why do you think this way? Fifa obviously showed their neutrality when US and Israel WANTED IRAN BANNED FROM THE WC, and FIFA SAID NO. This has nothing to do with US and Israel. We didn't follow the rules and we got burned. It's that simple my friend. It happned to Greece, and they fixed it. When you point a finger at someone there are three fingers pointing back at you my friend. This is the problem with a lot of Iranians. We always have a they are against us mentality. We need to stop doing this and accept it when we screw up. Face it we screwed up and got busted.
