I feel bad for Daei!!!

[Under Lahaf]

His name is all over the media, there were some people protesting against him outside of the hotel, all media mentioning his name, this is not only Persian media, it's global.

What happened to our hero? Who was the icon of Iranian or even Asian football? Was it worth being 90 minutes in world cup?

Now he misses the next game!!!! for what? How he got injured it's a mystery, anyhow no one misses him for the next game. What a tragic good bye for a hero. It was our fault to let our hero falls. We shouldn't let him fall, we need some warning alarm. Be careful about Karimi, Kia, Hashemian,..., when it's time to say "good bye", please don't bring their past to justify them. Let them say good bye standing up.

Learn the lesson.

Gol gofty.
i was thinking about it too. he is our hero but him staying in the team and the TM letting him stay change everything. i still think we should have a great goodbye in his honor. it's time for daei to leave in honor. The man was and still is a hero and deserves our respect but as way say: bayad ehteram'e khodesh ra khodesh negah dareh.

as far as it goes for the rest of them i think they got their lesson from two legends: Daei and some degree Karimi bagheri who quit after that disastrous game against Bahrain.

Daie was a big weight on the sholders of the team. Don't get me wrong, he was great until about 2002 but after that, maybe after AC 2004 for sure he should have just retired by himself. Right now he would have been a good 15 minutes sub, but even for that 15 minutes we now have many young talents which should work on and help develope... These are the guys who will be the future of our team and need to be noticed by the foreign clubs. In any case, I predict we will play much much better without Daie in TM. Just watch the Portugal game.

I also really like to see Yahya go.
