Guys there's no way a tournament in UAE would allow Iran to be the champion. UAE and Saudi will pull so many strings to prevent it from happening. People saying we need to win the cup aren't factoring this in.

Holy shit, I thought they'd wait at least a couple of days before the first baffling refereeing decision.

The ref was looking the other way and only blew his whistle after 2 UAE players yelled at him

Let us hope with the age of the US producing their own energy upon us, these grassrollers are relegated to tending to sheep and unarable land like the thousands of years prior to the 1970s.

They can go screw themselves.

I guess it's healthy for us to adjust expectations from the very beginning. These guys are going to throw every trick in the book at us. We are going to see Iran-China game refereeing standards on steroids....

I did factor in the AFC corruption and said it in my last posts

If Iran ends up playing either the UAE or Saudi soosmars the Ref
will do everything possible to make sure TM looses.

That’s what I am afraid of.

If this happens, will you still be pissed off with CQ if we don't bring the cup home?

[Philosophy_King]

Honestly, if AFC corrupt us again like they did against China, in the Iraq game etc. we should boykott this Cup.

[peiman92]

Very strange PK-call. The referee first shakes his head, turns around, then turns back and points to the spot!
Did anyone else notice that?

[Leicester City]

Khakh too sareshoon!!! They embarrassed all of Asian football today!!! Lots of foreigners were watching this match today, such a disgrace! No wonder why North America or other European countries don’t broadcast this tournament!

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the AFC shit show!
