Friendly situation is very worrying.

[Nokhodi]

I am writing this because I am absolutely frustrated and angry at the situation the IFF has put itself in, although the Iranian government and some European nations hold some of the blame.
Why is it that it seems our football federation is so lazy and "bi-bokhar"? Every federation has arranged some sort of match. All we hear from our federation is, possible match with so and so, but it is obvious they have lied, when half the teams they mention already have friendlies set up with other teams. Why do they say that a match (like Iran-Ukraine) is confirmed, when it's a lie?
And why do reporters and media not pressure the federation to do something, instead of making up rumours about fake friendlies?
Also why is the staff of TM not doing anything, or at least voicing their opinions and giving us some sort of idea of how they are going to prepare this team for the World Cup with so far only one match versus Taiwan. Does the staff really feel that matches against teams like Taiwan, and eventually or probably lower division club teams from Iran are any good?
Most fans are not asking for Brazil, Argentina, or England. An average European, South American or African country will do.
I mean even for what we're usually used to in Iran, this is a completely new level of incompetence, almost unseen in Iran's sport.
If in one week, we hear nothing about a confirmed friendly for Iran, I think we should all be prepared to see no friendlies (decent ones anyways) and expect TM to prepare itself the same way it did in the 80's when the country was at war.

Even with poleticaly incorrect islamic republic,and the fact many do not want to associate with Iran...here is the possibilities they are not useing ...
1- Most African countries.
2- Most arab nations.
3-Domestic clubs.
4-Most asian countries.
5- Many south American countries,such as Bolivia,Uruguay,peru etc.
6- Many central american countries.

zzgloo , you are basically saying European nations won't play against us because of the Political Climate at the moment.

O well........

Thats right, The European countries, or any country with a good economy, will not risk economic relations with big country , for Iran

[Doctor DOOM]

and we dont really NEED to play the europeans anyway.

the only european team in our group plays its football more in the south american style than european.


so if that scumbag dadkan and that moronic wimp, branko had enough brains and guts ( which is obvious they dont ), they would persuade any and all south american teams , even if it means WE go to their countries.

this insistence on playing in Iran is yet another WIMPY tactics, most probably becoz of this moronic wimp, branko. he just wants to have any advantage he can have to ensure him a win , so he wont be kicked on his (now) worthless arse.

why cant we go to other countries to play?
is the WC to be held in tehran?

enough of this wimpy attitude. get this blood sucker out.
he will be the ruin of our team !!!!!!!!!!!

And now their laziness has cost us a match with Austria, Colombia, Honduras, Swtizerland or Costa Rica. All countries that up until today had a open schedule.
THanks alot IFF, your stupidity and laziness knows no bounds. 2 weeks from now they are going to probably say we are in negotiations with those countries.
I really don't know why the media is more focused on shit like Rezaei's citizenship, and instead not criticizing IFF for no friendlies. The coaching staff should say something too, not to the media, but at least to the federation.
