All over the show on PFDC in the past week:
From the moment Ben Williams produced that pathetic red card, it started. RIGHT FROM HALF TIME:
- We are 1-0 up. It's HT. 15 minutes to get the team together and bring focus back....and on here, people were starting threads and making posts justifying a possible loss. That Aussie twat was being named as cause of our exit, when we were 1-0 up and in cruise control against a pathetic team. We were beaten before we came out of the tunnel in second half in most people's head (Just read some of the comments when we went 1-2 and 2-3 down). The excuse was ready-made. As if no team has ever mastered a win playing with 10 men. As if Chelsea weren't 2-0 down at Camp Nou against one of the best teams of all time at their peak and also a man down, and managed to tie the game 2-2 and go to the Champions League final. Blame #1 = Ben Williams
Thankfully our players actually kept believing and took it to penalties (Not a Lottery by all means) and we bottled it for the 4th time in a row. But again, blaming luck, instead of our lack of preparation for such scenario. Blame #2 = Luck
Our tournament over, we then proceeded to resort to our past and "Ifs". Anything with Ifs. If we were in, we'd be shoe-in champions. If the ref was kind to us, we'd be in World Cup quarter-finals. If Australia didn't come to AFC, Ben Williams wouldn't be able to ref our game, and none of this would have happened and we'd be crowned the champions !!! just like all those Asian Cups we were crowned the champions from 1976 to 2007 before Australia joined. Those bastards stole our god-damn trophy !! If my uncle had a vagina instead of a penis, she'd be my aunt. Blame #3 = Australia
Then the following arguments followed
- It was a staged tournament. Designed to ensure the hosts win it. Wonder why Qatar who has 10000 times more money and lobbying power in AFC didn't win their tournament in 2011. How about Vietnam in 2007? Surely Lebanon should have at east made the semis in 2000?
- Australia should be kicked out because they never play us. Yep, we are THE, ONLY team not to have played Australia since their admission to AFC. They have played all of the teams in the Persian Gulf area except us. It's luck of the draw. The same luck of the draw that could have put us with England, Italy and Uruguay in the World Cup, but gave us Argentina, Bosnia and Nigeria. But yea, It's the Australian conspiracy. They are scared of 1997. They don't want to be humiliated by us again.
Let's Join UEFA !!!!!!!
Let's join a federation with whom we have nothing in common. Our women can't even get into a freaking stadium. We don't recognize one of UEFA's members as a state. Our infrastructure is equivalent of Siberian Gulags compared to majority of UEFA members. UEFA must willingly lay the red carpet and accept us !! We have so much to add to them. I mean, the argument to throw Australia out of AFC is that they haven't given us anything , so imagine how enthusiastically Germany, Spain, and Netherlands will be lobbying to get us to UEFA because we'll give them what Australia haven't given AFC ! Just think about it for a second.
Let's join UEFA because AFC hates us (And yet complain Australia have stolen our WC spot by adding competition). As if UEFA loves us? Really? No country in the world has screwed Iran over the course of its history than Britain. Let's join UEFA because our infrastructure will improve. Well, being in UEFA, hasn't improved Moldova's infrastructure, it won't be a magic wand to improve us. How about ,WE , OURSELVES, improve it, regardless of the federation ? How about for once, instead of removing the question, we find an answer to it ourselves ?
How about our league stop being ran by agents. How about our federation starts imposing rules that encourages long-term development and planning. How about we BAN 1-year contracts. How about we set a youth league in 3rd division so young players can get exposure and experience in real league environment. How about we finish a stadium on time and not 10 years past its supposed date. How about we ruthlessly kick out people who get paid to play players and not on merit from our football regardless of their standing.
Joining UEFA / Kicking Australia out of AFC/ Sending Ben Williams to a concentration camp / etc won't solve the following problems:
- It won't repair our weak and fragile mentality in pressure situations (Penalty Shoot outs)
- It won't solve our nuclear issue with the West, freeing sanctions and hence more opportunity to get on with the free world
- It won't make us win AFC Champions Leagues or Asian Cups ever other year. We haven't won one in 40 years, and the other in 25 years now.
- It won't make our infrastructure better automatically. It won't automatically send our players to train in top European facilities
Until we continue to blame "Zamin and Zaman" instead of looking at fundamentals of our failure in Asian and World football for DECADES, we will continue to be irrelevant at the stage where it matters. We continue to claim "Moral victories" instead of actual glory.
Some of the comments in Asian Cup final thread, Australia thread, We'd be champions no doubt thread...are we really that much of pathetic losers ?
