It doesn't matter who the frak he ref is. Iran is going to win. Let's all grow a backbone and realize our team is a super power in Asia !....

Super power in Asia

[DireStraits]

And emotional, we might even see some cards, given the fact that benjamen is always itching to give one...it may be very likely.

You should also be worried about him as much as we do. What he did to us against Iraq in Asian national cup in australia as well as
gaving a penalty to Saudi Arabia when you won 3-1.
He can change the outcome of the game by giving cards without thinking. He is not a good ref for physical games since expierince shows he loses the control. Poor choice by AFC if not intentionally. IMO unacceptable.

[Kiarash]

Is there any official source that says that Williams will be the ref?? I thought it was just a joke/rumor at first!

What a joke if it's true

Varzesh mentioned it a while ago and also said that our federation already filled a complaint to AFC so that they would change the referee. Which of course, probably got rejected by AFC.

They knew it would be rejected they asked for an observer.

I think he is a type of referee that tries to let some tough play but then, he fails to strike a balance between leniency and strictness. Confrontations occur because he initially acts like he is letting some tough play, but the next thing you see he is running around everywhere with his whistle on his mouth and cards in his hands. This frustrates everyone and negatively affects the flow of the match.
I remember him officiating many matches we had and I always found him annoying because he is constantly blowing his frigging whistle during the match. He makes it look like the match is about him not the two teams.
I am not worried because my expectations for our NT is very low. I will cheer and support them, but if they lose, it is not a big deal for me, I don't have high expectations because I don't think they are well-prepared for this campaign.

We will learn alot about Iran and Uzbekistan after this match.. I will agree that UZB isn't as good as the last campaign but they do have 6 points and lead the group which is all that matters at this point.

[Soosk]

Iran will beat Uzbekistan in Tashkent. Mark my words. 2-1 Iran.

Almost exactly for those words CQ our coach was fined by AFC. Later they gave BW Iran Iraq game. And know Iran UZ. I know he is there to mess up everything. Why else should
he be there?

[euphory]

iran will only have 1 training in the main stadium before the game.

I wouldn't mind seeing something like:

---------------------Beiranvand---------------------

Rezaeian------Hosseini-----PAG--------Mohammadi

---------------Ando----------Ezzat---------------------

-------------------Masoud----------------------------

Jahabakhsh-------Azmoun---------------Hajsafi


Ashkan, Rafiei, Ansarifard, Torabi, Taremi could all be potentially subbed in.

Maybe Gucci instead of Taremi

I had a dream the match ended in a 0-0 draw, and the players from both sides had to physically hold Carlos back from breaking Benjamin Williams' face. He was banned from sitting on the bench for the remainder of the qualification. Nekounam took over the bench from there.


People say the adrenaline starts to kick in on the day of the match. I say it begins days or even a week before gameday. You start overthinking the outcome and you have yourselves some crazy dreams.

exactly, gucci should even start, you saw how he hustle against psv, i am sure uzbek defense is not as good as psv, and please no taremi i beg you

[Shatskikh]

Bad news: Ahmedov got injured during the previous match against Nice and ruled out for two weeks, which means that he is gonna miss both national matches...

Doesn't sound like a dream but rather a realistic scenario lol.
