Iran’s Journey to Russia Starts at the “Door to Hell”

[OFFSIDE_1]

what's shocking is that we have a losing record against them. 4 GP, 2 ties and 2 losses.

Wow I thought you guys were trolling about Guam asking to play their home match in Iran.

Lol maybe they are too emberassed to invite us over to Guam and have us witness their crappy field / cameras?
After all it's Iran! The #1 ranked team of Asia!!
Little do they know how emberassed we are ourselves about our own federation's management.

My sentiments exactly. I forgot to mention this.

Cmon guys I'm surprised there are some people here saying this might be a tough game for us.

ITS TURKMENISTAN FOR GODS SAKES. How do we expect to do well at the World Cup stage if we don't beat these teams by 4 or 5 goals? I mean seriously! Lol

In asia it's not always all about football. This will be an away match on a most likely terrible field in an unknown town. The hotel will probably be 2 stars and the ref is Bahraini. Also i would hope Queiroz plays some young players to give them experience in an official match. So Iran is obviously capable of a 4-5 goal win, but these types of away games are tougher.

[Kiarash]

AFC has put an extremely inexperienced Bahraini referee for this game.

Look at how many games he has officiated throughout his career which started in 2010:

Only 4 games which only one was an ACL game, the rest were pretty meaningless.

I expect a lot of calls in favor of Turkmenistan with such a suspicious referee.

^ I saw that too, but please let us once not nag about referee please.

Hands down, this is one of my favorite articles to be posted on PFDC. Beautifully written. Makes me more excited for the match as well

[ilovefootball]

Best article I have ever read in the English language.

[xerexes]

^ Oh so that was the language this was written in? Because I'm still having a hard time understanding how in the name of Rostam scoring five goals against a team that just lost to Guam(!) would classify our boys as "mythological legends"... you know, especially when we were told repeatedly that defending at the World Cup or losing with ten men in PKs to a country that has actually won the Asian Cup is way below our standards

Typical Iranian trash media. No shame and no limits.

I wouldn't be surprised if PFDC was the main source for most Iranian news websites too, even important ones. Sometimes I even suspect Navad from picking some bits and pieces of everything from here

There are few "journalist" here who work in Iran and I've seen some of the rumors or news that started in PFDC makes it to Iranian media within couple of hours. I remember there was a member here who told us a story about when he met Omid Namazi in a party and I remember reading it on navad.net few hours later.

Thanks for letting me know Amin jaan - no they didn't ask for permission and yes it would have definitely been nice to at least mention that they borrowed parts of it from my article.

It is a common knowledge, they may be genius.
