Saudi teams will not play in Iran during ACL

[Bessos]

This tension has helped price of oil rise which is $ for Saudis. yek boshke zir nim-boshke hast. Watch them milk it any which way they can.. IR would do the same thing.

Interesting point.

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

I wonder what will happen, if we get grouped with them during the World Cup Qualifiers.

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.

Now Saudi FA has called Qatar and the UAE to boycott the games in Iran aswell.

It is the perfect excuse to ask to go to UEFA.

What? Why would we want to be another Kazakhstan?

We will never play in any tournament again.

We will just be playing qualifier games for all eternity.

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

AFC match commissioner Hamed Momeni: "If Saudi teams refuse to play in Iran, the Iranians will have an awarded 3-0 win."

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.

You really think we would have a similar performance to Kazakhstan in UEFA? Kazakhstan isn't even better than 2nd tier AFC teams

Perhaps not. But we will be another Scotland or Hungary at best.

Good luck making it to the World Cup. Maybe making it to Euro once in 20 years.

Bahrain, Sudan sever ties with Iran, UAE reduces number of diplomats.

Wtf, I understand if they let Saudi's to play Iran on neutral soil, but how are they going to allow Qatar and UAE? I guess with Arab money everything is possible..

If anyone boycotts a game, FIFA rules state that they have officially forfeited the game and a automatic 3-0 is awarded to the opposing team.

That's unless AFC do something about that rule! [emoji12][emoji248][emoji248][emoji248][emoji248][emoji248]

Don't be naive. They were started by the basij/nirooye entezami. No khodjoosh group shows up at 1 AM hours after the execution of the sheikh.

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying these rioters are those who have absolute power in Iran. They can do whatever they want.
The cops actually showed up and stopped the monkeys but it was too late by then.

[Martin-Reza]

Saudis can't simply refuse, they would lose 0-3, as said. Great, hopefully we will get Saudis for WCQ

what a shit show. fucking hezbollahi a-holes.
