    Anti-Iranian commentary on Fox Sports

    The Fox Sports commentators commentating the final are so unhappy with the Iranian referee's performance tonight. They've been slamming his decisions and are now even suggesting he is biased against Australia. Here's a couple of examples so far:

    Commentator 1: "Where did they find this bloke?"
    Commentator 2: "I think he's from Iran."

    "Yet another decision goes against the Roos (Socceroos)."

    "The only person who hasn't been up for this final is the referee."

    I think the suggestion they're making is that the Iranian officials are somehow getting Australia back for Ben Williams' poor performance against Iran.

    I'm an Iranian-Australian but these comments have made me cheer for South Korea. It's been hard enough watching these games after Team Melli's elimination but stupid comments like this add salt to the wound.

    Let them say whatever they want. Just shows how unprofessional the commentators are...

      Well, in first place, they could just have used their brains and NOT selected an disfunctional retard for such an important match as we played. Second, it's not funny when it hits themselves, huh? That mongol broke the hearts of +75.000.000 people, what goes around comes around. And of course they gotta pick on Faghani, they know themselves what SHIT show and retarded mongol decisions Ben Arab made, so they know exactly how to use this refs iranian background to make excuses for any fouls (in their eyes) that he makes. these cunts deserve nothing more than arab coruption and oil money in their rear end, and soon they will feel the pains of the arab soosk football retard confederation.

            Guys ease it down a bit. The commentators are both mad supporters of Australia, so it's natural that they want every decision to go their way.

            I think people can relate to them. When your nervous, you blame anyone and anything.

            As an Australian supporter, I apologise for their behaviour.

                These sorts of negative comments are made behind the scenes all the time, and not just sports. From time to time they cross over to the public domain. I am for all people being allowed to speak their minds and not be subject to censorship. Iran needs to earn the respect of the other countries, and one of the steps taken should be investing in public media relations. Of course with the IR in charge, there are big limits to how effective these positive public image portrays can be. I hope you get the idea.

                  I'm an Australian supporter too by the way And I also cringe when I hear super biased commentating on Iranian TV when Team Melli plays.
                  I also work in the media so I know the importance of controlling your emotions and biases when doing your job. I just think these guys could have done a better job and should have acted a bit more maturely. Though I understand it can be a bit hard to do that when you are also a die-hard Socceroos fan in such an important game...

                      I disagree, I watched the whole tournament on FOX Sport Australia, and heard only praise for Iran!
                      Also their own Australian studio guests, bashed Ben Williams a lot for his refereeing versus Iran!
                      I found them very neutral and didnt see any anti Iran bla bla...

                        If there was a country that was a victim of horrendous referee mistakes, it was Iran.

                        We would most likely have been in the final and have had a realistic shot at the trophy!!!

                        Screw Ben Williams.

                          We need to be exactly like the Aussie commentators and voice our anger as well, but we don't, we shy awy, we pull back and let AFC run riot over us! If we did more loud bitchin Im sure we would have better refereeing!

                              I agree with you Adesor Agha.

                              Iran was commented on always in a positive light and the panellist were disgusted with Williams performance.

                              Tonight was highly biased and quite unprofessional but at the same time it was just two hard core Aussie supporters who were struggling with the line between supporter and commentator.

                              I can forgive it now as this was the biggest game in Australias football history and they got taken away with the emotion of it.
