World Cup 2022 Qualifier: Iran - Iraq: Info, Updates & Live Reports (15.06.2021)

You’re being too logical. AFC doesn’t rely on logic.

Sometimes you wonder if AFC is carrying out a concerted scheme to screw us in every situation, or if it's just chalked up to plain stupidity.


Anyone can see how a conflict of interest could ensue here. And it should be the referee who recuses themself from the match if they suspect it.

damn its gonna be hot and dry . The humidity is not that bad 40% is okay (compared to uk 70%-80%). Win 10 mph also not that bad. Its just the heat that might cause some players problem. Otherwise taremi , ghayedi , ahmad , kanani won't have any problem. Most probably azmoun , gholizadeh and maybe milad will have some trouble.

[Futbaldoost]

Accroding to the IFF (see the link below) the ref's name is Ilgiz Tantashov from Uzbekistan. It is not Irmatov.

Go TM!

I have just rewatched Japan vs Iraq WCQ 2018 games. Iraq was on par with them drawing them 1-1 at home and only loosing 2-1 to Japan in Torkyo. The Celebration of Japanese tells you how close that game actually was!

[milad_b]

no way referee didn't see that! Japan's first goal was offside by few miles.

^ The AFC loves whoever uses their sponsors and we all know we don't spend a dime hence those who do are left in the games and those who don't "tough luck".

[milad_b]

^^^^ Exactly Koka. I've been saying that for years! Sadly money talks ! Hopefully its not gonna affect us in next round. Even in world cup 2018 they let both spain and portugal go thro. Spain should've lost against morocco and ronaldo should've given a red card against us!

[webmaster]

^ exactly my brother. Iraqis don't sped a dime hence they are in the same boat as us but honestly the AFC has treated Iran a little worse than Iraq so they always have better help than us like the red card in the Asian cup that took us out of the competition and kept Iraq in.

[milad_b]

^^^ yeap I agree 100%, sadly when it becomes between arabs vs us , they prefer arabs (it doesn't matter which country). after all its Arab Football Confederation (AFC).

I mean, he is our most experiences TM player (Haji) ... so, for the most important TM match, I am sure he will start ...
Also, I wonder, do TM players / coaching staff ever look at the forums?

i promise you if hajsafi play we wont win! experinece is one thing form is another, he is not on form and if hajsafi play ,who dont play, cause in midfield we need ezatollahi and ghoddos, we need ghoddos badly

[webmaster]

^ he actually plays OK in defensive game but sucks at offensive one.

[Kavian]

Does anyone know how many times TM had to do with 10 men as a result of Shojaie Red Card? A compilation of his blunders would be good!
