AFC U-16 CHAMPIONSHIP

[Doctor DOOM]

If we exclude arab-style backroom dealings between saudis and UAE, then chances of Iran beating India by a better margin is more than UAE beating saudis.

Yes, Indians have ... sort of ... invested in this tournament (given what little air is allowed for any sports other than that godforsaken crappy cricket) and somehow have got the nod to host a WC. They've also hired a german coach. But a simple look and comparison between our lads and theirs should tell a decent victory for Iran.

The only thing is the humidity of Goa and the utterly shitty pitch with all the potholes, and maybe even refereeing bias, our team should worry more about EXTERNAL factors like the above, plus a possible collusion between the arabs to block iran.

A healthy goal margin can keep us stress free.

So if we get first place in the group, we are assured of U-17 WC qualification (considering next round being a formality)?

There are no formalities. If we don't show up, we will lose. Whether it is Vietnam or Kyrg.

Flashback. Last u-16 campaign, we lost to Syria in the World Cup qualification game after the referee erroneously called an offside to a legitimate Iranian goal:

I honestly hope we qualify for this U-17 WC.

I don't care much about the tournament, but I know scouts certainly do.

And this time we have a very talented CB in Taha Shariati, that can be scouted in this tournament, just like how Saeid got scouted by Atletico.

We NEED a Centre Back in Europe, and Taha may be our best hope of one in the near future.

If he doesn't get scouted now, he will get washed up in the IPL, and soon wanting to add a third star to Esteghlal's badge (cough* cough* Cheshmi)

Saudis have chance to go to next round - they need to win. There will be no backroom dealings.

Does anyone know why the Givova logo was covered on the jerseys in the game against UAE?

Probably something to do with IFF trying to phase out Givova and move to Adidas. Most likely contract details.
