|Vote| Who is the best Iranian never to play for the national team?

[BacheLot]

i saw him in the mirror little while back..!

[Cataphract]

I voted Sharu Naraji, so he can capitalize on it 😂

[saeed_noro]

probably Ali Molaei, he had very good technic and one or two good seasons with a lot of goals. who remember him?

[DR Strangemoosh]

Behrang Safari

He was capped for Sweden.

Players who didnt end up playing for other nations.

Daniel Olerum

Definitely Mahmoud Karimi. Not only for his IPL performance but he always played well in ACL and scored many goals. He was a smart player that even though had the technical skills would play a one touch football instead of dribbling everybody and eventually losing the ball. That is why the players next to him would score many goals (Bezik ,Toure ,Emad Reza, and even one season Navidkia). His only drawback was his tiny physique.

Mahmoud Karimi out in the lead.

No votes for Yousefi, Naeni, Nouri, Alizadeh, Yavarzadeh or Shahrokhi though...

Not sure why Alizadeh and Nouri are even options lol. They were never TM quality players

The average age of PFDC members seems to be in the 20s.

I'm happy that Hossein Abdi is finally getting his dues, as a coach.

He was a good player - just a solid central non-nonsense central midfielder who captained Persepolis for some of their best seasons - the team went downhill when he left. But he's been a really promising youth coach and has done his time for England U17 and England U18 before his current success with Iran U17

I don't think he is involved in Torremolinos any more

From the list I agree with Hossein Abdi, but there were many great players better than those named in the list, I would say the following are some of the greatest never capped in the national team.

Abdoljalil Golcheshmeh (has caps in Iran B national team at 1989 Bangladesh President's Cup but no caps for A team)

Reza Sahebi

Saeed Jooshesh (has caps in Iran B national team at 1986 Fajr Cup but no caps for A team)

Arash Talebinejad

Omid Singh

Ershad Yousefi and Fereydoun Fazli have unofficial caps for national team. They were in the squad for 2005 Islamic Solidarity Games, which was Iran B national team, coach was Bijan Zolfagharnasab.
