I am sure we would have won AC without Ben Williams

Faghani has to say these things otherwise AFC won't give him anymore matches to referee. That's why he has to be on the side of all referees
It is evident that BW wanted Team Melli out.

Agree,
Faghani is doing the politically correct thing to keep his job at FIFA matches. This just proved that he is not a hero or a mihandoost the way most of you fans are here.
Maybe time to have Ferdowsi poor cook and and show him how sattar zareh got red carded being on the other side of the story in the game against China where he got red carded after the chinese player rolled moaned and groaned.
A referee who has issued just 2-3 or even four cards remembers well who will be out on the second card. In the international matches when a team like Argentina is playing you simply do not red card Messi in an important game and you try to give him warning unless he has done a serious act to cause big injury to harm another player.
You try to resolve the issues to keep the great teams alive for the better competition level.
Williams had been ordered to the the dirty work and for Faghani to blme his own countryman is insanity. IFF needs to give him less matches and pay him less for such an attitude.
He needs to stand behind TM otherwise he is not out friend. Someone should try that on him to see what he does in IPL after he gets criticized by a coach and see what he does against that coach's team next time he meets them.

I also have to say Faghani is just protecting his position with the AFC. It really is a cruel and unfair world.

I don't buy into "The winner is the best team rubbish" when even Iraq won the 2007 edition. I watched all games and to me Japan was the best team followed by Iran. They totally dominated all their opponents and UAE was extremely lucky not to lose to Japan. Shots 35-3 and corners 18-0 for Japan.

He is not defending his position. Did you hear how many times he praised our team spirit. He is a good referee and I agree with him that Pooladi should have used his head in that situation. Why start a fight "situation" if you already have a yellow card, especially when you are leading. Pooladi did not deserve a red card and Williams is a shit referee.
The iraqi goalkeeper should have a yellow card. But Pooladis acting lost us the game.

What does him praising our team or being a good Ref have to do with the fact that not once did he criticize Ben Williams when, even the Aussies including Mark Bosnic slammed him and said that his officiating was terrible and he holds grudges against criticism.

He kept quiet because he does not want to get on the bad side of the AFC and of course increase his chances of judging in the next WC.

Yeah, at least they are taking action, AFC never does when we are screwed. But they did when we benefitted vs. Oman in 2004.

Bunch of scumbags.

The 2015 Asian Cup unded in sadnss due to unfairness but we learned a few things.

1. Sardar is a real hero and ready to do more and hopefully he ill not go to UK and hurt himslef.

2. An Aussie referees may have religion may hve culture but when it comes to helping Australia team they can violate every principle and belief he has lived with.

3. Palevan Martin is gheirati a true supporter of TM and someone you can really call ham-mihan.

4. Some guys are so negative in te world and they will never believe in themselves or their team.

5. The fact that we are till number 1 no matter what the result of AFC-2015 is. Anyone who believes otherwise can bring Aussie players to have a match to prove it with one condition and that is THE REFEREE cannot be ben williams(the jackal) or his cousin the fox.

AFC does whatever the hell they want when It comes to Iran. The real problem is Iran! By this I mean IFF, if they had any balls or gheyrat, they would ravage AFC until Ben Williams goes back to being a bus boy at the local kangaroo grill! But what does Kafashian do, he puts on his pathetic smurk and laughs it off! IF IFF just one time penalized a bad ref I guarantee you it would never happen.

IFF have no authority to Penalize a AFC Ref..!! and SADLY NO Influence in AFC Either to direct such an action..!!
like i said before, without proper political influence and Actual Representation in AFC, its going to be Hamin Aaash o Kase in future competitions against us, unless we Spend some money and make a valiant effort to win a seat in AFC's next election..!!

Our best chance for Representation and the subsequent influence in such decisions is Nominating Ali Daie and puring some money into his election campaign ..!

otherwise we can just go on bitching and whining Not FAIR this Not Fair that till we are red in face..!! :bs:

Germany vs Australia right now, and Australia is playing like crap with 10 men behind the ball. So much for being an offensive team.

Enjoy your so called ''Asian Cup Champions''

All I have to say is this....

I am not sure we would win the tournment or not. Beating Australia at home would have been tough. However,......
I hope to God I never come face to face with that mother f......er Ben Williams....
I truely hope I dont ever come within an arms length with that son of a b......ch.

[ali alipour]

It's Germany almost every team in the world would put 10 men behind the ball. But to some extent I agree if they weren't hosts I don't think they would have won.

It's against Germany dude, the game is in Germany and since I started watching they've actually been pressing hard and defending almost in Germany's half most of the time.

But even if they were playing defensive, that's the whole point of having different tactics and formations and that's what some of us have been saying the whole time: You don't play the same way against Qatar that you would against the world champions.
