Iran's friendly (March 2018)

[Afat11]

Interesting, so apparently, in CQ's world cup preparation plan booklet thing, along with friendlies that CQ wants, there is also a schedule of club matches for our legionnaires and the interesting thing, is that Peterborough, Toronto FC, and Al-Khor are also on this schedule. This means CQ still has his eyes on Tafazolli, Beitashour, and Soroush, but Davari seems to be out of the picture for good. Also, as others here have mentioned, CQ is very intent on playing one of Egypt, Tunisia, and Libya, or all three

My dad was listening to Iranian radio on his way home and told me they interviewed Beitashour today, and he said he has been invited to the upcoming camps in preparation for the World Cup.

Idk about that, but the thing I wrote about was from Navad. Maybe someone can find a link to the video?

"Actually decent team" is piss poor in FIFA rankings at 123rd while terrible team (Libya) is 77th. Idk what logic this comes from but FIFA rankings clearly disagrees by miles

Sometime FIFA ranking is not a good indication about the power of a team, i don't think Togo is worse than Libya if not better.

About the same friendlies in Youtube form:

The way they explain it in the video it seems very logical and it also seems like it's what CQ wants. But unfortunately I think you're right. Looking at our friendlies in the past it's never really been the reality!

Navad always does a great explaining things, even if they might not happen.

I would take any decent friendly at this point. As long as its not Somali Pirates FC then its a win for us

Iran is going to play a total of 7 friendlies before the world cup, so my guess would be that the opponents will be: Bosnia-Herzegovina/Turkey/Romania, Croatia in Europe/Qatar; Algeria, Iraq, Uzbekistan, Lebanon in Tehran; Tunisia in Russia;

In the past countries who have good relations with Iran such as Serbia, Greece, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Italy never showed interest in playing Team Melli so don't think they will be the opponents. Hungary last played Team Melli in 1998, Poland in 1990, Bulgaria in 1978, Serbia never played us last time was under the name of Yugoslavia in 1998 World Cup. Turkey and Romania snubbed Team Melli for decades, Turkey since 1975 and Romania last played us in 1977 but their under-21 played our B team in the 1986 Fajr Cup.

Also since no Sub-Saharan African teams named I guess no teams from there will play Team Melli. I don't think Latin American teams will play us as well unless it is Peru or Chile.

I'm really good at fifa. IFF should invite me for a friendly but it'll probably get cancelled because they don't have enough money for my plane ticket.

[ehsan singapore]

at least get italy and chile as friendlies, we cant do that even?come on IFF, get your shit together ASAP

[sarbaz]

Forget about getting any WC team to play against in March.

IFF waisted too much time.

It’s done , all we can hope for a couple second rate European or African teams at best.
