Why Iran-Croatia friendly was cancelled?

[Iran_19]

It doesn't make sense to me, Kaffashian said CQ cancelled it because the game is not on FIFA day and we can't have our legionnaires and Zob and Tractor players due to ACL. That doesn't make sense, the game was scheduled for May 30. All european club competition are finished and Iran had anyway only two players from Tractor and Zob Ahan in their last final list of 23 players(Mazaheri and AKhbari)
Am i missing something?

[KC McElroy]

Yes you are. This is Iran.

You must be new to IFF. This has been happening for 15 years now.

It all has to do with $$$.

No this time it's true
Croatia wanted the match to take place on May 29th and was not flexible
Therefore TM was gona be without like 10 players so CQ said no

According to the article, Queiroz is looking for another opponent that plays in EURO 2016

It should be Turkey, since they have no friendlies scheduled in June

I get crazy. Why cancell the game! And we need to stop play weak teams!! We must play Netherlands, Belgium, France and Germany or Spain. I get sick to read that we play Belarus or Macedonia!! The good think was we played Sweden!!

If we want to progress at WC2018 we need start play strong teams. I feel so sad this bad IFF. I fear again we will be oit first round WC2018. Look at Germany or Netherlands or other EU country we need good preparations otherwise why we go World Cup.

Somali pirates stopped their relations with us after the Saudi embassy incident so unfortunately we won't have such friendlies anymore

I don't think they will pay any attention to us now that they are ranked 13th.

[Iran_19]

Is weird anyway, it couldn't BS news because it was confirmed by Croatia football federation at first, what Kaffashian was saying is non sense also. Money issue? Maybe but freindly was offered by Croatia if i am not wrong..

Yes you are. This is Iran.

I miss Iran too.
