AFC U-16 CHAMPIONSHIP

[pres80]

Lol at the translator he says "first half" and then says "second" then long pause long pause long pause....as if he didn't just say the word "half" just before. How is this guy a translator lol.

Congratulation
We are in Final.

MVP GK Ali Gholamzadeh
SHIREH

He was our saviour



He is actually our seconfd GK behind his teammate Meraj Esmaei.
Both are from Foulad

AFC named Sharifi as MVP

[Nokhodi]

I can't understand how the ref can explain disqualifying our keepers first save and then accepting his last save. they were both done exactly the same way. they were both perfect saves.

NFL jan, let me explain.
This is the AFC.
Logic and rules don't apply.

[Kiarash]

The only way I can put a little bit rest to what happened to us during the AC 2015 is that our boys beat Iraq on Sunday.

[Nokhodi]

Iraq's overage players - the receipts for those who continue to doubt lol



A 13-14 year old playing for Under-19 team LOOOOOOL

Just wait, members will come in with comments:
"Wow, Iraq is so good. HOw do they do it?"
"amazing, they're so much stronger physically. Khak bar sare ma"
"I wish we could play like them".
"Don't be a hater, you're just a racist"

Iranians defeat DPR Korea on penalties. Full report to follow.

Agreed. Poor translation.

Worse was coaching staff screaming to guide players. This was pure stupid.

[Tehranto]

BTW, just recently, Iraq lied that Brwa Nouri (gave him a forged passport) was born in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq when he was in fact born in Urmia, Iran. He's Iraqi background. But because they lied, they were not given his services for the first two rounds of World Cup qualifiers. I just don't get what their infatuation is with cheating? It only ends up hurting them.

Oh well. Come on boys!!

[AIrani]

I watched the entire game.

Iran played better and Korea was better in second half. Iran should have scored two goals in second half.

Referee was not that great. I agree. Penalty was not clear penalty which was given to N. Korea.

Iran's goalie did great. He took one of the penalties and scored. He stopped two shots on Iran's goals. He is confident goalie.

I do not like it when Iranian coaching staff shouts to guide the players. This is very unprofessional. Taveleh k nist. you idiots.

Translator was horrible. He must be related to someone in high office. Iran has great translators. Idiots who are in power.

[Tehranto]

Shariati, Sharifi, Ezmailzadeh, Allahyar, Naderi (albeit short). All of them very, very good players! I hope they are nurtured right - they can become beasts.

Taha Shariati is an absolute beast. He's a CB too, something we need so badly. Always makes the smart plays - not a fan of his chucking it up - but Iranian CBs have been trained to do that. He can unlearn it too. Today he played more on the ground passes, which I loved.

[Malavani]

Our last generation was more talented IMO but they couldn't even qualify for the world cup . From this team , I was mostly impressed by Shariati and Sharifi.

[Tehranto]

It's important that these boys from a young age start gaining a winning pedigree. The mental, never the physical, is what we Iranians lack. Tournament wins and nurturing talents can go a long way.

[Kiarash]

One thing I learned from today is that that our youth teams at least can win penalty shoot outs!

The goalie really had a winning attitude. Even after the bullshit referee "off the line" call - he didn't lose composure and kept smiling and laughing. Very solid and very unIranian lol

St Mark, what fo you think about the coach now
