The Koreans always make the same mistake, to be rude and arrogant which motivates our players to give 150%
on the pitch.
I really believe they would beat us in the previous WCQ if they wouldnt start this mind games.
Hope that our guys teach them another lesson!

[Ata]

It starts to feel good that we aint the underdogs anymore. We are always the favorite to win in every game in Asia. Feels great!

zendebad Iranzamin!! Be omide pirozi farda =)

I guess after this year shia will not be the only people mourning. After this game Koreans will be mourning on this day too.

Taj said today that the Official match observer for the game is also from Korea. They have filed a complaint about this. It is rather weird of AFC to appoint a Korean observer for the Korean WC game.

These are the average bets for tomorrow's game:

Iran win: 2.31
Tie: 2.93
Korea win: 3.51

Iran appears to be the favourite.

Observe what?

From what I read, FIFA has introduced match observers to look out for racism during certain WCQ matches.

[Abtin]

Observe what?

Wouldn't you expect some kind of officials from the football governing body to be present for WCQ matches? This time though, they made a mistake by appointing a Korean.

[Bessos]

Maybe he's North Korean?

[DireStraits]

I'm not a fan of the South Korean team, I never was. I believe they genuinely dislike us, but then again any Asian team wants to play like Germany or Brazil when they face Iran. I believe we stand alone vs. the rest of the group, none are our ''friends''. It is the same South Korea who caused our elimination from the WCQ when they had nothing to play for, only to help their North Korean brothers to qualify for the 2010 World Cup. Iran should eliminate the South Koreans as well at all costs if given the chance to do so. They also changed the venue from Seoul to Ulsan to put us on a disadvantage last time, that was just a dirty way to fool with us.

Lets admit part of this is our own fault. Is it right that they hold tasua/ Ashura in the stadium? Do south Koreans force us their own culture when we want to play them in their own country? Iran is a hell for a turist or sportman that visits Iran. Not to mention the air is not clean. I always feel it when I first enter Tehran and after I have left Tehran. I understand they hate us for these things. I wish we win and I want to support our players but these Iranian politicians/mullah make us unpopular to the rest of the world. In world cup no body want to see Islamic propaganda but clean football.

Tbh, with all those black flags outside and on/within the stadium, it looks like ISIS is hosting this game..
