Nike and Iran

[Leicester City]

I just hope some official doesn't ask him to take it off in the tunnel minutes before the game.

They can't do such a thing!!! THAT'S ILLEGAL!!!

Does anyone know what type of shoes AJ wears? They look like Adidas but I’m not sure.

In the 6-0 victory where he scored a hat trick his boot came off and I got to take a closer look. I have my fingers crossed they are Adidas. He scored 21 goals with those boots and we need him to wear the same ones or at least the same brand for Friday lol.

Imagine they did that. What do you think would happen? He walks onto the pitch with no shoes on and/or the huge fuss created in front of the entire world watching. That would finish off not only shitty Nike but also the f***** America. So I say let's hope they are stupid enough and do that.

Don't be silly...If that's the case, then they should go all the way and check his underwear for Nike apparel.

You guys are crazy. You really think the players don’t have whatever boots they want? Most of these guys are millionaires already. They don’t have a problem getting boots. Nike can’t stop them from wearing their boots. They can just refuse to supply the team for free.

Iranians all over the world must advertise against Nike by any means possible and call for total boycott of Nike by iranians and true football fans around the world.

Amad news and BBC are all part of the same lying monsters.
Zam and Amad news want their etelaati buddies to take over in Iran even more, whereas BBC wants Iran to be torn apart as its masters wish.

Does that mean we should never accept any news coming out of Iran (because all news is filtered and modified to fit IR's narrative, even sports-related news) because it's clearly for self-preservation of IR?

All news outlets have political agendas, Nokhodi jan. But Amad has great sources and they were proven right about this news before it even came out ...

Also, which opposition news should we trust in Iran? Since the media is tightly-regulated and controlled by IR. All societies need an opposition voice/media.

Iran coach Carlos Queiroz slams Nike over World Cup boots snub

Iran's football coach Carlos Queiroz has called on Nike to apologise to his team after the American sportswear firm said it could not supply the players with boots for the World Cup due to sanctions.

The Iranian squad have been left scrambling to sort out footwear ahead of their opening match against Morocco on Friday.

This follows the recent decision of the Trump administration to pull out of the international nuclear deal made three years ago, and to intensify restrictions on Iran.

"US sanctions mean that, as a US company, Nike cannot provide shoes to players in the Iranian national team at this time," Nike said in a statement as quoted by ESPN. "Sanctions applicable to Nike have been in place for many years and are enforceable by law."

That last statement has caused confusion and frustration in the Iranian football federation. Nike has previously supplied the Iranian team with boots, and did so at the 2014 World Cup when similar sanctions were in place.

However, the company says it cannot do so for the tournament in Russia because of sanctions against Iran.

"This last comment of Nike was, in my personal view, an unnecessary statement. Everybody is aware about the sanctions," Queiroz told Sky Sports. "They should come out and apologise because this arrogant conduct against 23 boys is absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary."

Some of Iran's players are understood to have asked non-Iranian players from their club teams to loan them boots, while others are said to have acquired them from friends or gone out to buy their own footwear in the shops.

Queiroz has also managed Real Madrid, worked under Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, as well as coaching the national side from his native Portugal.

Nokhodi News Services are best.
Usually I take 2 opposed sources and filter it - somewhere in the middle is the truth. Unfortunately we have no decent news sources in and out of Iran! Except for PFDC Twitter (and I'm serious!)
