AFC CHAMPION LEAGUE WEEK 2 (LIVE REPORT, NEWS ETC)

[KeonKish]

Esteghlal has been playing significantly better under Schafer and they can definitely do damage.

I was disappointed by PPs loss but as you can see al sadd is a quality team.

Tractor was so frustrating to watch.

Their defense is still just as stupid as every other year, and their offense is so frustrating as they mess up around 15 scoring chances a game

This is the only stats I got from AFC. Where did you get your stats.

Club name****** SS******** Al Hilal
Possession %40 -------- %60
Duels success rate %45 -------- %55
Arial duels won %48 -------- %52
Interception 9 --------- 8
Offside 2 ------------ 0
Corners 6 ------------ 2

I don't see any domination in these stats

I really can't tell whether you're trolling or not. So you only based your judgement on things like "Arial duels won", "interceptions", "offsides" etc.?!?! LOOL That made it even worse!!

Baba velemoon kon jooneh man, negah ba ki darim kalleh mizanim wa dar moredeh chi. Ok amoo, aslan Al Hilal completely dominated us, they were missing 16 fixed players, took their gk out because they like our Arian blue eyes and scored an own goal on purpose because of our blond hair. Happy now?

Do we have any highlights from last nights games? I still havent been able to see the goals.

You should have said that several pages ago, so we could save our time and energy. Thanks for admitting.

SS had a good performance and if you guys can repeat that against Al Ain then it is what's up! Make it out of this group and eliminate Saudi/Emirati clubs, that is the final goal of all Iranian clubs.

Someone should contact Australian newspapers about saudis behavior during minute of silence. The saudis did the same during a match with australia and then they apologized that cultural difference was the reason. Many australians were mad anyway. this is a chance to let australians carry this news. give them video and links, i am sure the journalists in australia will love it.

you guys here can do it. Contanct Aussies.

On a side note: We need to take a chill pill. Saudi football associations and their politicians are anti-Iranian but not all of their fans or players. I think there is a pressure on their clubs to act as douche.

Watch these two videos about Saudi fans reaction to their clubs in their local league. They are passionate ordinary fans who love the game just like our own fans. Hatred should not blind us.

After the Al Hilal game Rahmati got his 19th clean sheet in ACL and holds the record in this competition

[eerooni]

Its now upto IFF and AFC to persue this utter disrespect and lack of football culture in the Arab world Specifically with Saudi Arabia who has become the Israel of football, i,e they do whatever they want and AFC looks the other way! much Like Israel does whatever it wants and the UN looks the other way ALL THE TIME! Sadly IFF can barely arrange friendlies so I have no expectation from our dumb as$ federation....

Unfortunately, when you have 1000s of their people on Twitter etc. praising any calamity that hits the Iranian people - then you would not say this.

They don't have much of a culture, really.

Look what the Quran says about them:

9:97 - "The bedouin Arabs surpass all in unbelief and hypocrisy and are most likely to be unaware of the limits prescribed by Allah in what He has revealed to His Messenger. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise"

[Farhad21]

Hijab is optional in Saudi Arabia?

[NFL]

I know KSA football is quick to fire coaches, but I am certain that the reason Al Hilal fired their coach was solely because they lost to an Iranian team. If it were a loss to another team they would not have done this.
which tells me that this must have hurt the owners of the club really bad.

[PersianLegion]

One of my good friends and classmate from Uni was a Saudi dude who was a fan of Al Ittihad. He had culture and was very friendly with Iranians. I also had another female classmate who was Shia Saudi and she was also very friendly. If people want to sample Saudis from online fans then I think following the same logic, Iranians won't stand anywhere among cultured people. You guys know how much stupid and racist netizens we have. I am not defending football association of Saudis or their corrupting action, I just think we should separate the regime and rich clubs from fans and ordinary people.

[Persian-Pride87]

Scumbag piece of shit 8-0ers. How pathetic must you be to not honor a moment of silence? They also did this to the Aussies but they cited "cultural difference" as the excuse. I wonder what excuse, if any, will they come up with for this.

Absolute scumbags. So glad Esteghlal won. It was the best revenge. 8-0er koons burned so bad after they sacked their coach
