Attention, Koreans & Chinese Fans!

60K fans screaming in front of your FACE is scarier than 100K screaming behind a running track.

 

If the kind of the results Korea is getting in the middle east right now (in Oman) are any sign of things, then I wouldn't be surprised seeing you guys whooping us 6-2 again. Or perhaps worse.

However, we're pretty good at home as well, so let's just see how bad we can beat each other at our homes Chinese fans aren't too shabby in intimidation, either.

 

Korean fans, colourful yes, intimidating, not quite. besides, if Korea keeps up things like their two recent losses, the Korean team might have to worry abut their own fans!

 

This Middle-East crisis with the additional punch from SE ASIA seems to be tearing my heart into shreds. Everythings fair and square...i guess Korea had its share of glory..

All this was predicted last year. But nobody gave a flying fcuk. Now please, lets all watch the K-League because we still have to wait another 3 years to watch Korea whoop some Euro-snob butt. Bye now.

 

Im really anticipating Iran vs China in Azadi. I wonder if our boys can keep up the habit of scoring 4 goals on China...

 

No, we are only against Korean_football.... the moderator. That explained why we always lost games. Korean Foootball is not usually a real man. We only pick on guys liked him.

 

lol... I actually meant the crowd factor playing away in a Chinese stadium, nothing about that.

It'll be intimidating for anyone to play at China... You guys even held a full Brazilian side to a draw at home not a while ago. Anyways, the point is that Korea, China, and Iran all will have tremendous home support. Winning the home games will be a crucial thing for all the teams.

 

But I do not think the Olympic team can fill a stadium in China.

 

If I remember correctly, didn't you guys had a pretty big crowd (if not full capacity) for 2000 Olympic qualifiers? I think it was at Shanghai... the same game you guys tied us 1-1... I remember in Korean press around that time talking about how tough it is going to be playing China away, with all the home support.

 

But that was in 1999. We had seen some empty stadium for some NT games. I knew the WCQers were sellout, but we are now talking about the U-23 team. It will depend on where they would be playing the game. It will be a good crowd, but nothing compared to what we will see in Iran.

 

Korea has been struggling since the Asian Games of 2002. That is good sign for Iran because their U23 team has shown that it can win in Korea facing a hostile crowd.

It will be a difficult group. I think it may come down to goal differential deciding the winner.

 

China had a sellout crowd at the 2000 Olympics Qualifier game at Shanghai's 80,000 stadium. I believe the name of the stadium meant "80,000."

 

happened in 1977.
Ended in a draw.

Actually, the Koreans did go to Azadi last year. Suwon and Anyang went there as the semifinalists of the Asian Club Championship.

Both Suwon and Anyang won and ended up playing finals there by themselves.

 

LOL i remember that. The studuim looked like a lake!
HAHA esteghlal's game against anyang i belive was the worst futbal game of all time! both teams were half way in the water. haha so funny yet so sad i remember the t.v announcer saying the reason the koreans won was because they had predicted this weather where as we(who live in Iran) hadn't! hahah so funny

 

AG was an underage tournament.

again what.

1984 Olympics, 1988 Olympics, 1992 Olympics, 1996 Olympics, 2000 Olympics

couldn't find Iran yet but I'll check again.

 

1976 olympics, we beat brazil and tied italy

P.S Iranians don't really care about olympics.

 

Maybe you'd have better luck looking at the Asian Cups, but I guess you wouldnt want to look there as youd be reminded of a 6-2 loss.

 

2002 WC (the biggest and most important tournament in the world), we beat italy, portugal, poland and tied spain.

P.S Koreans didn't really cared about asian cup or asian games until very recently.

 

not to take away anything, but that was the time when pro football players weren't allowed in the Olympics. Only amateur players were allowed. While Iran was able to send its NT-quality players(since Iranians played at the Azadegan league which didn't turn pro until 2001), Brazil and Italy had to send pure amateurs.

I know. Just like how the Koreans don't care about the Asian Cups and Games.

 

well, bauvafa was commenting on the Olympics Qualifiers so I was answering accordingly.

1984 Olympics, 1988 Olympics, 1992 Olympics, 1996 Olympics, 2000 Olympics
