I love the way Carlos says Team Melli.

Tim Meleh

The only time I cried after a TM match. This was the worst defeat IMO since I watch TM games (since 2004). I remember that day the comedian Hamid Mahisefat came to Vienna. My whole family went to see him but I couldn´t because I was too depressive.

this is ranked second worst day for tm, the first is 2001 when bahrain beat us 3-1, and carry saudi flag

[tmfan]

It was a tough loss but Saudi's tragedy in the AFC play-off made me feel better.

[Tehranto]

Horrible memory. Remember, Saudi didn't even make the last round for the 2014 World Cup.

Tragedies in football we have had a fair share!

.. Most of them self inflicting and could have easily been avoided. .... better organization, more effective and knowledgeable managers, more skilled coaches, proper practice facility, few friendlies, less conflicts, peace of mind, etc. etc. -- everything that money can buy!!

I hope we avoid Saudi Arabia and no Saudi in our group

[teammelli91]

Dear god, now that we have a 50% chance of being drawn with Saudi Arabia, please help let it happen.

I hope we avoid Saudi Arabia and no Saudi in our group

My friend, there's no need to fear Saudi Arabia. We will crush them. Even in their most defensive tactical formation we will beat them. No need to fear. Karma will be a BIG b***h if Al Sauuuuuudi get drawn with Iran.

[DaNinerMan]

I was at that game in 2009, it still haunts me. And that is why I want Iran and Saudi in the same group. I want revenge

[Hosseini]

uh oh.. toro khoda yadeh en bazee nakon.. don't remind me of this nightmare. ashka to chesham yadam miyad. That last minute goal from the saudis was like a dagger smack dab in the middle of our hearts.

easily one of the worst days ever as a TM fan.
