Playing an international friendly match on a weekday at 16:25 Pffffffftt

Why not playing it 2-3 hours later, when people are off work, off school etc? The IR hates packed stadiums, they'd like to see our stadiums with little attendances...

"South Korea coach Uli Stielike said he will try to deploy an attacking brand, as he prepares his side for a friendlies

The 59-year-old, whose three previous coaching stints were with Middle East-based clubs, said he hopes to continue their goalscoring habits as they build towards the continental tournament kicking off in Australia in January.

"For the two consecutive matches against Middle East team, I'll prepare not differently from the match with Paraguay and Costa Rica," Stielike said, according to the Korean Football Association's website.

"I'll show fine attacking football to Korean fans. Of course defence is important as well, however, I'll show interesting soccer not a tied game.

"There were some critical opinions after a defeat of match against Costa Rica, but I think the atmosphere was generally positive. Even though we were defeated 3-1, we showed offensive soccer to fans and played evenly against Coast Rica."

He added: "Two consecutive matches against Middle East teams are very important matches to us. We have possibility to meet them at the Asian Cup.

"In addition, two teams have similar performing ability with us. Jordan have similar FIFA Ranking with us and Iran is the first-placed team in Asia.

"Taking this away game as good opportunities, I'll try to play attacking soccer.""

Iran will probably get South Korea in an Asian Cup 2015 semifinal... and it will be epic. Their team managers will try to collect data on Iran in this November friendly... that is why I think we should not reveal everything and save some surprises for January.

This is more of a great friendly for South Korea then us. If South Korea can come in IRan and beat us, it would be a huge moral boost to them and it will make them more confident next time they meet us. On the other hand, a defeat by Us will make us more careful next time we play with these guys. I wish we played Japan or Australia. Since non-Asian teams don't want to play us, we should at least play the power houses in Asia. But then again we have IFF the most organized Football Federation of the 21st Century

so when iff doesn't schedule friendlies they are a failure. When iff does schedule friendlies it is a better friendly for the other team and iff is still a failure. So when is iff not a failure?

IFF is a failure cause everything takes forever for them to do and they are disorganized. You really think IFF setup this friendly!?!! Muahahaaha My Korean friend even said that SK federation wanted this friendly and made it happen. It wasnt because of IFF amazing job.

This is what IFF did.

[sarbaz]

IFF sux ass lets make that clear
It was South Korea who wanted this friendly very much and made it possible not IFF
IFF does not want TM to have any friendly games before the Asian Cup because they dont care weather or not TM wins or looses
That is the bottom line

Message to everyone: Don't get emotional if we lose. It's a friendly.
