Iran's friendly (March 2018)

[PSGman#19]

Don't know if the friendly with Algeria is in danger.

Former Algeria first lady gave her full support to MKO and M R*****. One iranian diplomat in Algeria protested, the algeria medias are responding too..

This is the norm with alll our friendlies, I remember way back the LG cup was cancelled when Iran and Korea had a spat over North Korea,,,,Same with other friendlies, Its sad how much Iran's reputation, standard and profile has sunk since Samad Agha and his gang started ruling Iran....

This is going to be just like 2006 when friendlies versus Romania, Ukraine... all were cancelled after those countries were pressured by certain other countries.

Man Iran literally has the toughest road just to make it to the WC. It always seems like we have to go through multiple hurdles just to get a freaking friendly with a decent country.

The source of the problem is the Islamic Republic and their shitty diplomacy with countries. That's the common denominator. Unfortunately, our footballers and football have to suffer.

If the regime ever changes to a modernized govt, expect friendlies to be more simple and us to become more dominant in Asia.
A team with Iran's talent mixed with UAE/Qatar kind of money and resources would get us to Top 15 in the world easily.

Exactly. People want to boo-hoo us and say "we are so badbakht" for all these countries not wanting to play friendlies with us (as if being Iranian is an inherent curse) - well, it's IR that has made us badbakht. But they conveniently overlook this fact.

Our football has to suffer as long as we are under IR. That's just a fact that has never been disputed and is inherent.

IR doesn't help at all, that's not the only issue. But if bad human rights is what should stop a country from getting friendlies then half our Asian rivals would never play football again. Football is a filthy sport internationally...

Human rights mean nothing in diplomacy bro. Their horrid human rights record doesn't help IR but others like SA etc. have it too. It's who you are aligned with.

Let's not jump into conclusions before the cancelation is actually legit. Until then the friendly will go through.

Spoken like a man who has been through the see-saw of Iranian football friendlies.

It’s not lack of respect or diplomacy
It’s all about the money
Saudi Arabia and Japan each have an $300 million annual budget for thier Football Federation
Now that’s why year in and year out they get the best friendly matches vs. top footballing nations , because they payyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
What is Iran’s ???? Like $10 million ????
