U-20 World Cup 2017

Reading his delusional posts is actually quite funny. I can admit when Iran sucks at something. There are many sports where we are weak. I lived with 3 Korean roommates in college, and although they were nice guys, the inferiority complex they had was really apparent.

They would wake up to watch Korea play Japan in baseball and lose, and they would be fuming about how Japanese are so dirty and cheat in baseball. They would watch Korea lose in sports in the olympics and they would act the same way. Always degrading the opponent.

When we lost to Korea in 2011 Asian Cup, I said to myself that we played badly and Korea were the stronger team. When we beat Korea soundly 4 or 5 times in a row, guys like Pandora try to degrade us to make themselves feel better. Iran is the better team right now in football, but Korea is better in other sports. We are also better in many sports. Pandora is either a troll, and I laugh at his ignorance, or he is seriously suffering from an inferiority complex and I feel sorry for him.

I once asked one of my roommates why he acted the way he did over sports and got so personal with other countries and he said its because Korea has been bullied so much in their history as a nation by its neighbors. So the country has built this inferiority complex where they need to succeed in sports to prove their worth.

We should feel sorry for someone like Pandora, not ban him. If he's just trolling, he will get bored when Korea is not in this tournament anymore.

You know, unless the referees repeat the 2002 World Cup and gift a semi-final appearance to the host team who are assaulting their superior opponents on the field.

Someone just find that video of Korea physically attacking players in the 2002 WC with no calls and post it here for Pandora. Koreans love having to explain away that debacle

Unfortunately you can swap Korean for Iranian in this post and it will be accurate. We all saw what Iranians did to Messi's social media pages after we lost the WC game. Let's stop the false moral ground BS we are as bad as everyone else in this aspect.

Funny thing is, most football fans will remember Korea for their 2002 WC scandal where they beat Italy and Spain due to unbelievably horrible refereeing.

Pandora is a bikar, just trying to stir up some fight. His comments have less to do with logic or good arguments, but rather useless trolling. Surely we shouldn’t exaggerate with our Iranian pride too, but let’s not forget this is an Iranian forum anyway. btw. any foreign member that showed respect was respected & got much love here on the forum by the majority. Let's not make it look like we don't like to have non-Iranians members, because it's exactly the opposite.

As far as I remember most of us have always respected the Koreans. In fact we praised them many times while bashing our own one - and overall accepted that they were the better team back then - but unfortunately the Koreans started a dirty fight last WCQ by constantly talking shit against our team, throwing things or even punching a player...most of us were shocked by their "true face" as we always regarded them as "mazloom" and friendly people. I am one of those always pointing the finger on our poor fan culture first, but in this case it’s pretty obvious that the Koreans themselves decided to create such a rivalry, not we Iranians.

Can you guys please stop talking about Korea?

[Soorakhian]

It's embarrassing how one useless troll from Korea can put so many of you to work and stir up so many emotions from some of you. Looking at the posts just above this, it has pretty much started to lead to fighting between us.

Pandora, job well done.

Now, can we get to discussing Iran in the U-20 WC?

Mamnoon.

[AliCarbon]

It will be a crazy miracle if we win tonight after being fully exposed by Zambia. Our attack is bezan ziresh ba salavat at best !!

[AIrani]

May deserving players qualify. Iranian players must know this is the last game if they lose, so better put your heart out boys.

Viva Iran.

Mehdkhani---Khadempour---Shekari

Reza Jafari


Not sure about Formation.
GK has been replaced.
Aref gholami has replaced Aref Aghasi.
Khadempir has replaced Soltanimehr.


Shahsavari has been very weak for past two games but Peirovani has no replacement for that.

If formation is correct then Khadempour is playing in MF. He was originally invited and played year ago as a CD then used as FW and MD. Not have enough experience as MF.
U19 & U20 has never played with this line up before.

Hopefully i am wrong and Coach decision is the best one as he is closer to the players.

Go Iran

[St_Mark]

Khadempour (4) as CD with Taheri (5)

Hopefully Peirovani is correct experimenting

I thought shojaei has been playing wing so far, with shekari at CAM. I think it will be khadempir and Noorafkan at base of Midfield, with Shekari ahead of them. Mehdikhani and shojaei on wings, and jafari at CF. Really hope we see Mehdi Ghaedi given a chance today off the bench regardless of result. Seems that we really have no replacement for RB slot currently. But I think shahsavari was actually quite good vs costa rica, but struggled with physicality of Zambia.

I will be watching the game at 1 am on Foxsports on TV. Predict a 2-1 loss, but I pray I am proven wrong. Come on boys !!

I hope you are right Khadempour may be ok as DM since he is a defender.
As for Shojaei:
He started as LB then was used as DM and occasionally as a winger. He is strong player but not a 90 minute player. He is not fast enough to be a winger.

If you are correct:

Adeli
Shahsavari-Gholami-Taheri-Derakhshanmehr
Noorafkan-Khadmpour
Mehdikhani--Shekari--Shojaei
Reza Jagfari

tbh, against costa rica it looked like Shojaei was really deep on the left, almost like a left sided CM. I think that it may even be
Adeli
Shahsavari - Gholami - Taheri - Derakhshanmehr
Noorafkan--Khadempour--Shojaei
MehdiKhani--Jafari---Shekari

Hopefully we don't use Shahsavari in this match. He is a disadvantage.

nobody to put in his place. He played well in game 1, he has to find a way to regain that form .

Costa Rican were dwarf just like him. Portuguese forwards are tall. There is nothing he can do about his small stature and short height.
