World Cup Qualifier: Syria - Iran; Info, Updates and Live Reports (15.11.2016)

[GolfePersique]

Bun in regards to the pitch conditions, it's nothing new and happens everywhere.

The pitch conditions were against any FIFA standards for a WCQ match. Safety of the players was compromised.
The only place where this kind of thing might happen is "football mahallat"

Call me racist or what but the regular arab guy just know how to cheat, be agressive, shout and insult.
But they have no brain because of that they will be always the slaves of the West.

Cheers

I'm afraid to ask what you think of the "regular iranian guy"

What is Kafashian exactly doing in AFC?

Check the thread then. There are plenty of examples of terrible conditions in a WCQ match.

Kafashian is useless

most likely results :

Qatar 1 Iran 1

Iran 2 China 0

Iran 1 Uzbak 0

Iran 0 Korea 1

Iran 3 Syria 0

These gives us 10 points which seems to be enough to qualify I guess. I am not worried but if this pitch was not the venue we had a far better condition now
And Gucci's goal was onside

I remember those members saying our beloved Syrian bros will play with gheyrat and passion..
Eat this..2 point thrown away..Uzbeks and Koreans laughing..before the game started you have to protest 4 days all day raining..

I don't understand why Syria would go into this game to get a draw. Are they already setting their sights on third spot?

They can't even do that because most likely it will be Korea or Uzbek at 3rd spot. they are just acting as their Arab mission to prevent Iran from advancing but in their wildest dream

We have dropped 4 points to arguably the 2 worst teams in the group. Of course beating the strong teams is nice but we cant at the same time drop points against the minnows of the group. The china draw was terrible and this one is bad but at least weather was the major factor in this game.

If they win against Qatar, China and Uzbekistan they should be fine for third place. Doesn't matter at that point if they lose to Korea or TM.

Please stop lumping everyone into the same pool.

He jumps around and calls everyone racists, but doesn't realize what a bigot he is being by generalizing almost everyone on PFDC. Could someone please tell me how I can get his posts to show up for me? Is that even an option on a user basis?

[DireStraits]

They stopped Iran from distanciating in the Top til they get us down later. All politics

both away games; one against a park the bus China and one in a swamp against Syria.

[Doctor DOOM]

From your perspective.
Everyone else saw us as playing for a draw, which is fine btw.

surely you must be able to distinguish between playing defensive (parking the bus) and utterly unsportsman-like behavior.
while I dont like parking the bus tactics, nevertheless, it is NOT unsportsmanlike. it's just an ugly TACTIC.
grass-rolling is NOT.


as for the argument "same conditions for all", it is wrong argument.
the point is this venue and region as a whole could and should have been avoided. seasonal rains and monsoon is expected and any idiot with half a brain would know such conditions should be expected. While there were PLENTY of alternatives available (central asian countries, UAE, Oman, ...)
so the fact that despite such knowledge, the AFC (and the syrian gutters) picked and accepted this, shows there's more going on.
that is not mentioning the AFC's other preconditions (like seats, condition of pitch, ... ) all of whch would have ruled out such a stadium ... and yet, they approved it on this occasion.
you put all this together and see why ppl are complaining
