Aziz Asli passed away today. I never actually saw him play but had read about him in old Iranian magazines when I was in Iran. He was our goalkeeper in the 1964 Olympics, 1966 Asian Games and 1968 Asian Championship (which we won). Rest in peace.

I went to Sharif University. I'm a superior genetic mutation, an improvement on the existing mediocre stock.

Rest in peace.
One thing Iranian football should be proud of is producing quality goal keepers.
Asli, Tavoosi, Hejazi, Rashidi, Sajjadi, Abedzadeh, Azizian, Tabatabaei, Nakisa, Mirzapour, Roudbarian.
Honestly the list we can just add and add .. Safarian, Babazadeh, Ghelich, Haghighi, etc....
I wish Iran produced quality strikers as well...
In the past we had quality strikers but recently not many options available!
WC1978 - Mazloomi was on the bench and never got to play. That's how good strikers were in the squad.
WC1998 - Modir-Rousta did not even go to the tournament!
WC2006 - Enayati IPL's top scorer sat on the bench and never got to play.
WC2014 - Reza sole striker
At least now Azmoun is there as well.Comment
