AFC Champions league™ ¦ 2023 - 2024

[Hosseini]

My theory is the Saudi owners were looking for some excuse to not play. Losing in Iran to Sepahan would be embarrassing (for them) and in that environment makes it extremely difficult to come out with a good result

Sepahan is obviously the best all around team we have, best coached, and at home is very dangerous so you can see why they'd be a bit nervous

I think al Ittihad start another big confrontation between Iran and Saudi Arabia, lol.

[Nokhodi]

Apparently Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal will both leave Iran immediately.

^ yep the honeymoon is over back to neutral stadiums with the snake Saudis,

They aree good in the Iranian league but outside the league they couldn't even beat an Iraqi club. They looked terrible

because Saudi is a u.s puppet state, they have to obey their master joe biden

It's the other way around.

Seriously, we see mass murderer terrorists Khomeini and Khamenei in every frigging Iranian match - but bringing Qassem the kotlet terrorists is what gets everyone excited and vexxed?

Play the match.

All the Arabs have their dictators on their stadiums too.

Oh I see! If people rightfully were throwing stuffs at the statue; can a team exit the stadium before even entering the pitch?

Soccer wise; they should lose 3-0 however we know how incompetent and numb the Iranian federation is. Yes they have Infantinio on their side for some reason meeting with Dictato Raisi!!! However, this is AFC (Arab Football Confederation). Sorry I have said it for many years and I don’t wanna rub it. Iran should exit ACL. For many years not even a single club has won it and all the calls have been against us. Don’t be shocked if this one goes against all the sports rules as Saudis have all western media and US behind them and are going to also use their stars against Iran soccer and reverse 3-0.

Non sport wise, it is good to see a team gets out of the field exactly for the same reason our people throw junks at Soleimani’s statue. But I am trying to see the statue in that clip.

[The]

I get that….I think they should play also obviously. My question is more specifically trying to see if I’m missing anything that soleimani did towards Saudi Arabia that I don’t know about. They have their dictators all over their stadiums and we have all our terrorists too so agree nothing new or special about this…..just wondering if soleimani has any kind of significance for these Arabs specifically.

Soleimani killed a ton of Saudi backed Islamists in Iraq and Syria. Also helped a bunch of flip flop wearing Yemenis put up hell of a fight against the Saudis.

I guess they are super butt hurt about it.

Source on Al Hilal please!

If ref came out with sepahan players then it be 3-0
if ref did not come out then CHANCE OF 3-0IS LOW

Al itttehad could be jealous and mad
Ronaldo o al nasser got luxury gifts, but
They got sun flower with a ribbon.

Why is Soleimani's statue there? Why? Any justification? One good reason? The guy got kotleted in January its not even the anniversary yet.

Honestly expecting a full ban of Iranian football soon, these guys love to live right at the line might as well put them in their place.

Never seen a David Petraeus statue at a Chivas-NY Red Bull game.

It's 2023 and these monkeys can't broadcast one game without drama. The Paramount broadcast >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> IRIB

[Iranianarsenal11]

Weird that they had 3 whole busts of Soleimani there... Almost provocative?

With all the Saudi money I'd be shocked if the 3 points didn't go to Al-Ittihad...

Ref and Sepahan players came out it was clearly shown on Paramount stream.

True but that was an away game in Iraq. We never play well there

Tens of thousands of fans in Isfahan, you saw the stadium. That's scary to play in for a Saudi team
