Saudi teams will not play in Iran during ACL

[kia]

not saying it wasn't started/motivated by the basij but you have no clue at the amount of brainwashed supporters in Iran who would do this at any hour.

Those brainwashed supporters don't even know who the fack Nemr was. They were mobilized and supervised.

[mahestan]

And yet, Iranians have yet again managed to look even worse in the eyes of the international community than even the Saudis. It's one thing to get delayed in the airport, it's another thing to attack another country's territory and set its building on fire. The game cannot be played in Iran when authorities not only stand by and watch as angry mobs attack the Saudi embassy, but also organize and facilitate the events.

This is the 8th time this happens in Iran btw.

Imperial or IR, it appears that attacking embassies has became the norm for Iran. Amazing that this has gone for so long without another country declaring war on Iran based on their sovereign soil being attacked.

[khodam]

given iran's political stance in Europe, that would probably not happen but even if it did we would have to boycott Euro/WCQ qualifiers every time we are grouped with Israel and therefore be suspended by FIFA.

The day Iran joins UEFA we will also be at peace with Israel.

LOL for reals?

Not that I'm against it but yeah that seems so not likely even with a secular Iran.

[PersianLegion]

The best way and only solution to all of our problems is to remove IR once and for all. As long as IR exist Iran and Iranians should suffer.

[GolfePersique]

I really hope with break all ties with Saudies, especially Haj pilgrimage which is fattening these pigs.

Unfortunately, these basijis stupid acts are giving them an excuse to bash Iran on international stage.

With or without IR, the arabs will always hate and fear a strong Iran.

That could be a half-time attraction... Iranian ninjas cheerleaders in veils attacking a random embassy..

I'm sure UEFA is eager to accept us given our great record of not attacking embassies.

[Go_Daei]

not saying planned by both sides but think would help Saudi's more..
See Saudi's internal tension over dropping prices; (lemme looky the linky on my other post)

Interesting point.

But even if this was planned between Iran and Saudi Arabia, is it worth cutting diplomatic ties over some higher oil price?




No world cup 2018 for us. Because we are too stubborn to play on neutral ground (read: 1986 WCQ) therefore forfeit the game 3-0.

As much as I hate to say it, I hope the games are moved out of Iran. If Iranian teams refuse than they should also be banned from future tournaments. Tired of akhoond supporters and akhoond apologists not getting punished for their actions.

This was the 8th time a foreign country's embassy or a member of the embassy's staff was attacked/murdered (links to all attacks are posted on the first page).

Politics and sports should not be mixed. What you are suggesting is only punishing our own fans.

they are brave to attack our embassy, but so cowards under the regime who executed 700 Iranian in 6 months

These Hezbollah guys are shameful. They are not Iranian. They are extremist Shi'a. That's what they identify as. Not Iranian.

[foadm_2000]

This is not about sports and politics getting mixed up.
This is about safety and I think that Saudi's are right. Since Iran has failed to protect their embassies then its logical to doubt their ability to protect their players in Azadi. I know you might think that oh no its not the same and the attack on embassy was ordered from higher ups but they wont do anything to them in Azadi but that is besides the point. Iranians need to learn how to be less "vahshi" and I am being polite here.

So ironic coming from an 8-0er.
