What is he supposed to say? "Yes we are going to easily win the asian cup" "we will be up 2-1 in the final vs Japan and after 4 minutes of stoppage time and grass rolling we will win it in style"
Obviously he is going to say something like its going to be tough all professional coaches would. If he says something like the korea coach he will just get the opponents fired up and something similar to what we did to korea could happen

Don't promise us anything, but don't also sit their and prepare excuses for why things will be tougher in Asia than in the World Cup. Even the Europeans and S. American's don't say their regional competitions are tougher than the WC...

It's utterly disgusting. Fucking cunts have Arab cockroach money stuck up their ass.

I like and respect Maij a lot, however, I really felt his site was anti-CQ! Of course, after the WC, and everything building up to AC...I now feel Maij and his support staff were dead right about CQ.

I mean I just read on the front page of PFDC that Mr. CQ believes AC will be a tougher task than the one we had in WC? Who is he fooling? Any one of the WC participants could easily win the entire AC...no doubt about it. I mean just our group opponents would be 100% guaranteed Asian Champs if they brought their WC squads to our Asian competition. I hope CQ is trying to play the opposition and fool the other teams, but it's really not inspiring or confidence enhancing to hear our world class $2.5 million coach state that he feels AC will be tougher than WC

Well O-Zone jaan, in a way it is a tougher task than the World cup. However the implication of this claim may be misled/misinterpreted TBH.

By a "tougher task" I am sure he means our expectations of the outcome of the tournaments, to put things in perspective, when you compare these 2 tourneys, it's easy to picture a much lower expectations from the WC as opposed to the AC where a mass majority of the country expects nothing less than an Iran Championship title, if you visit any Iranian sites poll in that regard, you would clearly see how almost 80% of the voters expect Iran to win the title, and consider anything less than a gold a "Failure"

This high expectation itself put the utmost and excruciating stress on each and every TM member, be it the players, its coaching staff etc. Whereas in the WC even a single draws would have sufficed to please us!

I for one 100% believe the AC will be a much more stressful and crucial to shine and impress tournament than the world cup. As a matter of fact any logical football fan would agree with this notion!

When Qotbi promised championships, trophies etc. Everyone jumped on the bandwagon to bash the guy for "gonde goozi" and not delivering and ask him to shut his mouth and stop making big promises, and when another coach refrains from making luxurious promises and tends to stay on the more conservative and reserved side, we again condemn and accuse him of being diplomatic by bringing up excuses for the upcoming 'Failure'

Actuallu people have seem to have forgot, but CQ said before the world cup that by the progress he has seen in the camps, he is sure that he can win AC with TM if they got 2 months to prepare for it. However his wish wasn't really fullfilled, and no country in the world can have 2 months of constant preperation.

European cup is tougher than the WC though.

It is normal CQ is saying Asian will tough, he is making even tougher with his weird selection

No way is Euro cup tougher than WC.

If that were the case most of the Euro teams would have made it out of the group stages in the WC.

In the WC you have small teams like australia, Iran, Cameroun, Honduras and lot of average ones.

In euro cup you can have a group like Italy - Holland - France - Romania (EUro200 for ex) or Germany - Holland - Portugal - Denmark (Euro2012). you don't have the equivalent in WC

Holland face Mexico and Costa rica to reach the semis this year what a joke.

And it is not because Europeans did a bad show this year means they are bad. An european won the whole thing for example.

If I remember correctly, the mighty Euro teams of Italy, England and Croatia couldn't beat Costa Rica or Mexico.

In the Euro cup you have teams like Latvia, Serbia, Denmark, Ireland, Poland, Austria, Romania, Czech and then average ones like Greece, Croatia, England, etc...

Let's put it this way, Greece will never win the WC, that would be a real joke.

Only Euros think the Euro cup is more difficult than the WC.

What happened to Italy, Euro winner Spain, Croatia, England, Russia, Portugal, Bosnia?

Half those teams regularly advance in the Euros, but they couldn't even finish 2nd in the WC group stages.

3/What happened to Italy, Euro winner Spain, Croatia, England, Russia, Portugal, Bosnia?

1/the teams you quote aren't as weak as Cameroun, Honduras, Iran, Australia or Saudi Arabia (in 2002), Jamaica (in 1998) etc... they are at worst average.

2/ Greece won the Euro2004 and qualify from their group this year WC

3/Spain won the WC four years ago so what? all teams have high and low. I can quote you team that didn't do well in Euro and did well 2 years after in the WC. It means sh1t.
