Get to know our opponents in the upcoming Qualifiers

[BacheLot]

^So long CQ remains the boss of TM, we will see our share of EU based players increase significantly every year, & the more EU based clubs have success with them, the more they'll be looking to bring on board ..!

It's sad to see the talented youngsters of Asia's best team getting wasted in IPL (for whatever reason) whilst Japanese are employed in top European leagues.
I just hope our boys will shine in the euro competitions to open doors for more homegrown talents. Our players are by no means worse than Japanese/Korean if given a chance. Hopefully, our turn will come soon.

"..if given a chance" has nothing to do with It. Hard work, determination and professionalism. that's what it takes. and if you get a little luck on your side, even better. I think the disparity in the number of Japanese and Iranian players in Europe is actually more than fair.

Japan named its squad for upcoming games.
These guys are fully loaded!
http://www.the-afc.com/2018-world-cu...018-qualifiers
Japan squad
Goalkeepers
Shusaku Nishikawa - Urawa Red Diamonds
Masaaki Higashiguchi - Gamba Osaka
Akihiro Hayashi - Sagan Tosu
Defenders
Hiroki Sakai – Olympique de Marseille (FRA)
Gotoku Sakai - Hamburger SV (GER)
Yuto Nagatomo - Inter Milan (ITA)
Kosuke Ota - Vitesse (NED)
Maya Yoshida - Southampton (ENG)
Tomoaki Makino - Urawa Red Diamonds
Masato Morishige - FC Tokyo
Gen Shoji - Kashima Antlers
Midfielders
Makoto Hasebe – Eintracht Frankfurt (GER)
Hotaru Yamaguchi - Cerezo Osaka
Yosuke Kashiwagi - Urawa Reds
Ryota Oshima - Kawasaki Frontale
Shinji Kagawa – Borussia Dortmund (GER)
Hiroshi Kiyotake – Sevilla FC (ESP)
Forwards
Keisuke Honda - AC Milan (ITA)
Yu Kobayashi - Kawasaki Frontale
Takashi Usami - FC Augsburg (GER)
Genki Haraguchi - Hertha Berlin (GER)
Shinji Okazaki - Leicester City (ENG)
Yoshinori Muto - Mainz (GER)
Takuma Asano - Arsenal (ENG)

so they have too many legionnaires from top leagues that there is no place left for Kobayashi from Heerenveen, Minamino from Salzburg and Havenaar from Den Haag.

[GoIran]

Europe's Japanese love is really frustrating but Japanese players get what they deserve today. Most of their legionnaires in the top leagues have been successful and this opens up for other Japanese to move to European teams. Mainz earned 10M for selling Okazaki to Leicester last summer and Hannover earned 8M for selling Kiyotake to Sevilla this summer. That's why they keep signing Japanese players with raw talent. I hope guys like Azmoun and JB will trigger a wave of Iranian players moving to the top leagues.

Bloody hell! These Chinese managed to change syria's choice. Now we have to travel three times to East Asia
It will be like a home game for China

the afc cheating already started before the games even begins! it once again shows the lack of influence in every single sport federation by iran that you can think of.
this is the thanks of syrians after being saved 5 years by iran? arab will remain arab!

This is what CQ is talking about when he says we are already at a disadvantage before the games even start. After being one of the only major countries to stand by them in this time of need...

[GolfePersique]

It's only to SK and China's advantage. Very ungrateful Syrians.

[Narse]

these little syrians should not even receive 1 single rial anymore. bunch of disgraceful arab traitors and destroyers.

[Narse]

this smells overall like another 2010 afc cheating. they clearly do not only prevent iran winning asian cup every single time, but cant accept iran going into world cup twice in a row. they will be massive arab-korean-chinese cooperation against iran. expect some saudi, qatari, and emirati money and bribing as well!

just think about the qatar-korean cooperaton of 2013. qatar let in like 8 goals against uzbek in order to get iran out!

You just spoke my words dooste aziz!
Cockroaches will be Cockroaches..

[perspolis#1]

Ok some people are overexaggerating here.
Qatar cheats yes but this doesnt help them out either. South Korea could care less about whether we qualify or not outside of us NEEDING TO BEAT THEM to go through.

Newsflash: we were never going to play Syria's home game against us in Iran. It would have been in some Arab country where the airport would keep our boys for hours and mess with them with a terrible pitch and a 1-0 loss.

None of that will happen in Macao.

Just play the game and we should qualify. I for one am happy since Macao is still a neutral ground for us against Syria. In an empty stadium, we win against Syria 9/10.
If our team plays as a unit and stays disclipined... so no Pouladi diving or Alavi shoving BS we will have the upper hand against every team unless they are truly better.


That doubt you have at the smallest things like referees and venues is the same doubts that make Iranian athletes come up short. Self belief is what makes average teams like USA tie Portugal and teams like ours take Argentina to the brink.

If anyone does bribery..its Qatar. Saudi and UAE can bribe their own geoup members and Austealia and Japan will knowingly smash them.

[Doctor DOOM]

It's only to SK and China's advantage. Very ungrateful Syrians.

.... and we are surprised by the ungratefulness of the arabs because ...... ??
Should we even BE surprised?

Now lets get back to sending BILLIONS of dollars to these toilet holes and make a bad name for the name of 'Iran'. All at the cost of IRANIAN sucfering and going hungry!!

[Doctor DOOM]

Speaking of ghater, here's what's made up of their ''national'' team: players from SIXTEEN (16) different nations make up their team.
Might as well call their team ''Third world XI''.
