FINAL TM LIST: GHODDOS AND HAJSAFI IN, SHOJAEI OUT

[Tehranto]

I think you are missing the point here. The point is not whether he is too old for TM or not. The point is whether it is acceptable for the federation to exclude a player on political grounds. Sadly, by not willing to see things as they are, you and many others here acquiesce in the federation's political decision. And please don't say Hajsafi was included, hence no political interference. This is a mickey mouse argument. Hajsafi got included because he publicly sucked up to the regime.

Shojaei will get invited back. This will blow over. I agree with you, F*** IR and Shojaei is as his name says, a Courageous person and a hero. But please, let's not taint everything of TM because of this.

[Zamboor]

The thing is if Shojaei was kicked out because of political reasons he would most likely bust their balls by making it public. so dont worry doesnt look like that is the case here

people are so delusional. club or no club, put your bias aside, ashkan is still our most skilled player and a game changer. i'm disappointed he doesn't have a club, i truly don't understand it. but he has a role on this team

Also - Ashkan is very well liked by Team Melli. He's close with Ando, Shojaei, Haghighi, Reza Gucci etc. He's a very positive force.

^ I guess the IR made a deal with him, hence the younger Hajsafi stayed on but the older Shojaei had to take the hit as he was retiring anyways and had a big mouth that the IR did not like but now at least he retired like a hero in the eyes of many people and perhaps himself. But all together, this was another clear victory for CQ against the IFF and the regime's thugs.

My exact sentiments on this decision. 100% influenced call. Nonetheless this is by far the best TM list I have ever seen in my entire years of following TM.

It's insane - remember, when Carlos first took over, some names on TM list:

- Mohammad Nouri
- Gholam Reza Rezaei
- Mohammad Ghazi
- Maziar Zare

And these guys were starters! With all due respect to them because they played hard for our country ... but look at where we have come to ... what a squad!

[Nokhodi]

I find it odd the biggest Shojaei supporters are the same who wanted him out of TM because of his form previously.
He'll be in our final WC squad, but I don't think he'll start again unless we play slow teams.

eeeen. He is almost pirlo esque with his passing atm, and his dribbling in tight spaces is still top notch, but if other team is pressing high, very physical/fast, masoud can become a non factor. This is due to having no pace whatsoever, and having a generally slower style of play. Plus he does little defensive work. But I think he will still be in final list.

That's what I love about our team man I can't remember a group that seems as tight knit as this .

FFS even Pourghaz is always in pics smiling and in someone's baghal....when the one guy that's not TM material is still treated like a brother that's when you know

Good list!

I have no complaints. In Carlos I trust.

I understand the point you are trying to make here and I agree. but to be fair, Gholamreza Rezaei and Mohammad Ghazi were really good players once upon a time. The speed Rezaei had may, just may only be matched by Milad Mohammadi. Ghazi had a great nose for goal as well. Great headers.

[DireStraits]

CQ always changes his lineup to make us difficult to analyse. I wonder who he will play in CAM? Ghods, Noorafkan or JB.

Maziar Zare what a legend!
