Jurgen Klinsmann appointed as manager for South Korean national team

[Scooter]

I don't know how many of you saw his disgraceful comments towards Team Melli, CQ, and Iranian culture as a whole, on BBC after we beat Wales? (Oh, and he also proceeded to throw South Americans under the bus as well, after he stated that the ref is from a culture "similar" to ours)

Well.. do you think TM will have some motivation for when we face SK in Asian Cup?? I do.

SOOORAKH SOORAKHESH MIKUNIM

It will be a pleasure beating SK AND Klinsmann at the same time! Lol

[oracle]

He is fired if he don't make asian cup semifinal.
a qf exit 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Good news for us. Our boys will be extra motivated to beat them.

Klinsman is an Iran hater. When he scored against Iran in WC 98 his fist gesture through the net was very insulting. He later on claimed that the gesture was towards the German media for speaking bad about the national team and their chances that year. He also said that he has many Iranian friends and he did not mean any offense to Iranian people.

However after his post Wales game remarks it became quite apparent that he really hates Iran and Iranians in general.

I agree that this should give our players extra motivation to give him a good slap in the face for all the disrespect towards Iran and Iranians.

I disagree. It has been Klinsmann who asked the German Federation for the Game vs. Iran in 2004.
We are so keen on gestures and words, even if there are not much meaning behind it.

Klinsmann is a friendly person in general, his hate on Iran is total BS by Media. Klinsmann donated much money to Iran after some earthquake, that was shown on Germany TV and also mentioned when Iran played Germany 98.

The Bam Earthquake of 2003 wasn't just some earthquake. We lost 38,000 hamvatans. R.I.P to all of them

Screw him. Given that he was familiar with Iran, it only makes his sin bigger. It's time for everyone to stop casually insulting Iran and Iranians without any retributions.

Imagine if he had said that about Jewish people and/or Israel. He would have been banned forever from Football, deported from the US, and shunned worldwide.

I believe he should always be reminded of what he said until he comes out with a real apology, not a bullshit one. Post this anywhere he pops up (twitter, Insta, etc) and remind him that deceit is in his blood from a long time ago! Make sure you reference his comments so he knows where the hostility comes from.

Am I the only one who doesn't care? Out of all the news coming out of Iran and the real thing Iranians are facing, this doesn't even register.

Let's just hope the boys use this as motivation to beat South Korea. Considering they are our biggest Asian rivals. That's the only consequential thing about his comments.

^^ You know we can walk and chew gum at the same time!

He should have kept his mouth shut about Iranian players working the referee when he himself worked the referee 32 years prior, by that Oscar winning dive.

Its in his culture I guess.

What a terrible hire and downgrade
