PHOTOS | Iran - UAE (Asian Cup 2015)

[Rooyintan]

I can see a photo with Al Ahwaz traitor lunatics + Iraqi Baathists + Saudi Wahabis along with UAE fans.

When I was watching the match broadcast on the internet I saw some Qatari fans barracking for UAE.

He He Team Melli also enjoyed support from many non-Iranians.

vs Bahrain - there were too many Hazaras(perhaps there might have been other Afghani as well) and some Iraqis.
vs Qatar - there were many Lebanese and Iraqis perhaps Afghani as well.
vs UAE - does anyone know if there were many non-Iranians barracking for Team Melli?

In Uzbekistan vs Saudi Arabia match broadcast I saw Jordanians and Libyans supporting Saudi Arabia. Uzbeks had some Iraqi Kurds barracking for them.

I can see myself. haha

What's the deal with these Al Ahvazi people? My entire family is from Ahvaz and have lots of Arab Iranian friends who absolutely LOVE Iran.

Also.....With regards to the non political behaviour. I am also really proud of it. There is every kind of Iranian flag but people are not generally judging of the flag chosen and we are all partying and supporting our teams as one.

There have been a few Facebook groups created to boycott the current flag but creating division will only affect the boys who we are so proudly supporting and thankfully these pages and thoughts have not translated to the actual events. Something I am really thankful for.

Just because you might take Irans flag it does not mean you support everything about IR. It could also and generally does just mean you are supporting the boys who are representing that flag.

Been proud of the supporters so far and am sure it will just get better as we hopefully continue to progress.

Iran will take on Iraq or Jordan in the last-eight [Getty Images]

Substitute Reza Ghoochannejhad scored an injury-time goal to lift Iran to a 1-0 win over UAE and top spot in Group C at the Asian Cup.

Despite a free-flowing game, and a virtuoso performance by UAE playmaker Omar Abdulrahman, neither side could find a breakthrough until Ghoochannejhad's late strike helped Asia's top-ranked team avoid a likely quarterfinal showdown with Japan.

UAE appealed for offside when Ghoochannejhad pounced on a ball that had ricocheted off teammate Andranik Teymourian and directed his header into the top corner from close range. However, television replays indicated the striker had just stayed onside.

Iran will now face the runners-up of Group D, likely to be Iraq or Jordan, in the quarter-final at Canberra on Friday, while the UAE now likely faces Japan in Sydney.

Meanwhile, in Sydney, Sayed Jafaar produced a stunning long-range strike in the 82nd minute to lift Bahrain to a 2-1 victory over Qatar for its first win of the tournament.

There were lots of Aussies cheering for us in every game

Those anti-Iranian fans were Arab provokers. People who just hate Iran no matter what. They weren't Iranian.

Most likely Iraqi.

Those "Ahvazi" people supporting Qatar did not even have Iranian features. Definitely from Persian Gulf states trying to stir shit, and Al Kass, a mouthpiece, was echoing those bullshit tensions.
