The Official Persian Football Go Random Thread v2

[Nokhodi]

An article we all missed as it was in the peak of the anti-TM propaganda during WC 2022, but an interesting oral history mostly from the American perspective about the 1998 Iran-USA game.

Great episode from a documentary series that highlights what they did to the great Tomislav Ivic.

Shame also that they destroyed that beautiful camp in Bojnoord.

Also look how guys who crapped him on him back in 98, now say they regret the things they did. Classic Irani bazi.

Look forward to watching this one:

Funny exchange between Daei and some of our lady fans.

Interesting documentary from 1978 about TM's World Cup 1978 qualification campaign.

Does anyone know why IFP 2 has become IFP Qods?

Now IFP is the only other forum remaining

With the current status quo of our players, we will have at least one player in each of the four Champions league pots:

Nice observation! I hope none of our players' teams get paired with maccabi! Would be a shame for them to miss CL playing time for such stupid reasons.

Great documentary I think from British TV about Iran - USA '98.

Ali Karimi's most recent football interview.
Yes, he still loves Persepolis!

Ali Karimi's podcast show. Interesting to listen to.

Listening to Ali Karimi, I think like many Iranians who left Iran, not by choice, will be prone to depression and weird outbursts.

He's not a good speaker, and he says stupid things, but I still think he's a good dude.

Identify these players. I'm leaning towards this being our Omid team (it literally says Omid on their jerseys) playing Dynamo Tbilisi in 1971 but I need to compare the lineup.

1971 Tehran Friendship Cup. Omid Team 1 Pas 1.

Ali Karimi's new podcast - this is the 2nd episode.

He also has another podcast called "tarikhe Shafahi".

I just found out that the head coach of Winnipeg's Valour FC in the Canadian Premier League is Iranian. His name is Patrice Gheisar.

The CPL has two Iranian head coaches, Afshin Ghotbi and Mr. Gheisar. That's 25% of the league!
