IRAN vs CHILE in Sweden Cancelled, Possible new location Austria

[KC McElroy]

So your coworker looks like an akhoond??

As for the parade. I hope you were joking. That is the biggest chance for a protest in history. IT will be ruined by shahis, mujahedeen and bahaii who would take the opportunity to ruin a celebration for political reasons. I am not against those people but am just saying the IFF would never allow it.

I'll see if I can find a picture of my coworker.

The parade has been around ince 2004. There has never been anything similar to what you mention.

I imagine there hasn't been as generally all Iranians get along. I just wonder if some Iranians would take advantage of TM being there and cameras to form a political protest.

I got into so many online fights with people who were starting groups on Facebook at such to protest at the Asian Cup inside the stadium. I thought it was such a low act to ruin it for everyone just so they can protest. We needed to be unified and to a very large extent we were but there were definitely some idiots around.

Wait so some of you actually believed these games were going to happen? ???

Ohhh another pessimist negative Iranian.

What a suprise

Im looking forward to seeing Alexis against Iran. The game will be a really good test of Irans rock solid defense.

Iran should for once verse Australia in a friendly. They haven't played each other in the last 20 years even though Australia has been in AFC for at least 10 years now!

[Paradigm]

IFF should definitely keep the friendly with Chile, who have been in top 20 of the FIFA rankings for a while I believe. CQ can give the younger TM players a real chance to experience and challenge top international opposition.

[IPG]

I hope it happens and for once i am actually positive it will. Chile will be a very difficult game for Iran much more than the Sweden game i think.

Fingers crossed both will happen.

[persianallstars]

oooh my holy cow, here we go again....

[Damavand]

If we managed to hold off Argentina till the dying minutes, we should be able to do better with Chile.

[Malkay]

Fingers crossed they'll come to London - both teams have plenty of fans living here. Chile will probably fight for it given that it would save on admin, they wouldn't have to spend money on flights and Sanchez, Vargas and Ospina are based here.

Part of me can't help thinking that Chile have pulled out because we've not met some financial promise to them and the IFF / media are trying to spin it with this excuse. I don't see how it would have affected ticket sales for the Sweden game, Swedish fans will want to pay to see their team not Chile. And I'm sure the masses of Iranian ex-pat football fans in Sweden will probably want to see both games, given the rarity. I would have been much more inclined to believe it if the Chile game were cancelled in a few weeks due to poor ticket sales - not sure if Sweden have much of a Chilean population. I only hope that, if we are scapegoating Sweden, their FA doesn't take offense and cancel the Sweden game.

Mahdavikia should try to manage Hamburg as venue for us, or at least Frankfurt, as he played in both clubs. Would be nice if they play in Germany.

Austria would be awesome, but most important would be that the match really takes place.
