Foreigners in TM Melli

[KC McElroy]

Yeah nobody really cares if you're unique, people care if you're football is good. Germany's football is good and they get respected. That's what I want, if any good foreigners do show up in IPL who have lived in Iran for 5 years or so and want to play for us, by all means we should let them. Maybe people will also start to realize Iran's not a complete shithole like Saudi Arabia and whatnot. It can only make us better as a nation.

Acting like a qatari does not make anyone better but rather just proves that they are incorset.

Against Holland yes. Not against Chile or Spain however.

They challenged Chile the whole game as well, then Chile scored on a counterattack in the 90th minute.

if you are born in Iran, you are iranian in my books. If you have at least one Iranian parent, you are Iranian as well. At the moment though, we dont need kharejis, in fact keeping our team a team of Iranians is more unique nowadays anyways.

It's actually not that unique, Italy, Argentina, Brazil, USA, Spain, Ireland, Scotland, China, Poland, Serbia, Bosnia, South Korea, North Korea, Chile, Peru, Ukraine, Russia etc all have the same principle, its just fake made up countries with no culture and national pride like Qatar and Bahrain etc whom employ this pathetic tactic. What's the point of having national teams then?

Let me put if for you this way, not saying this is always the case. There's a war or very limited opportunity in your country and you're lucky enough to move out. A European country accepts you and to your luck, you're very good at football and good enough to make your adopted country's national team. Should you be denied that right simply because of your ancestry? So you'd have to go back to that hell hole of a country you came from if you ever want to play national team football? The meaning of nationality has long changed, just deal with it. It's idiots like you that make sure Iran stays a shit country and never progress.

I really can't figure out why we're so against foreign footballers in the TM Melli. There are many footballers born in different countries that play for different national teams right now. Klose, Podolski, Sterling, Costa are just a few of the very many. Why do we make fun of the Arabs for doing it when the best national teams in the world do it too? Personally I think it would be great to have someone like Edinho on the national team or other foreigners that love Iran enough to want to represent them. Stop with this bs 1900's method of thinking. We're in 2015 now, we should encourage this.

Big difference. European countries breed and develop their players. Qatar naturalizes players.

I didn't interpret my opinion properly, screw Qatar. I meant if a player has played on Iran long enough and likes our culture enough to want to represent us, who are we stop them?

Man what are you talking about? I'm just glad most Iranians aren't as dumb as you are otherwise our country would really be a shit hole. Reading comprehension is a skill which not everyone can master obviously. My point was and is that a person should live inside a certain country for at least 10 years, which would mean said person has grown as a person in that country and feels a connection to it, unlike countries such as Qatar whom buy players to play for their national team like club teams. Where did you read "ancestry" in my previous posts? Normally i don't lower myself to the level of idiots such as yourself, but i'll make an exception this time since you're probabaly 12 years old (i hope).

"Oh wow, TheWheels made a good point, let me just call him an idiot back with zero platform like the true keyboard warrior I am and save some face". 10 years? It took me 5 years to get my citizenship in Canada, in Spain Diego Costa had to wait like 6 years to get his citizenship. It's a good thing no country runs your way. Who the fuck should have to wait 10 years for citizenship? Retarded lowlife.

My God is this guy still going on trying to further display his incorsetness to us?

By any chance does the word incorset derive from the Farsi word for bra (corset)?

No thanks. We aren't a fake country. Only people with Iranian blood should play in it.
