Iranian football fans are really bipolar remember when we used to part of West Asian Football Federation everyone was complaining why we got to play so much with the Arabs, one of the reasons why we joined the Central Asian Football Association. We need to to start a EuroAsian tournament with Russia and Turkey not join a Arab tournament.

and invite the mexican cartel to help with the financing, maybe use cryptocurrency to pay for everything

While shitting on "Arab teams" people seem to forget Qatar paid for all our Asian cup preparation when our own federation couldn't pay for anything. People not remember Qatar withstood a Saudi and UAE led embargo because they were too close with Iran? They all don't hate Iranians and this narrative isn't productive

Definitely Qatar, Oman and Kuweit have always maintained good relations with Iran.

UAE seems bi-polar, but it seems Iran and the UAE have managed to separate their business relations (which still seem to be mostly good) from the political issues.

The real trouble seems to be Bahrain and of course especially the Saudis, although even they have been making noises that they want to better relations. Lots of changes being made since the new Raisi administration started.

So really this generalisation that all Persian Gulf Arab states are anti Iran is simply not true.

Plus, one always needs to differentiate between the people and the government.

But wasn't that because of the fact the we helped them when they were sanctioned by saudi and arab countries? sending them food water or w/e they needed for their country?

Probably so. Although they could've severed their relationship with Iran, but they didn't cave to the Saudi-UAE coercion attempts. That actually takes guts

Hahaha awsomw, what a great exchange we could have with them.. they get a few drones and they show us how they build their tunnels..

A TM vs Mexico game would be fun to watch..

Yes, Morocco and Algeria played with heart in the last two World Cups. However, we should play more regularly with Turkey, Russia, Armenia, Serbia and Croatia these are countries we have good relations with and could help improve our football. Playing in a Arab tournament is nothing to envy, very little to learn or benefit from, other than being considered an Arab country.

They know not to step out of line when they share the world largest gas field with us. Qatar, Oman and Algeria seem to be more independent of the Saudi gang and generally don’t hate us as much as the others lmao

8 team tournament:

Russia, Uzbekistan, Iran, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey, Tajikistan.

More friendlies with Algeria, Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia, Bosnia, Croatia, Macedonia etc. These are the teams we need to have litmus tests against from time to time to see how our own team is progressing.

Yea thats true, but i think it was more of a financial and "power" decision by qatar. Arabs would never favor us in any situation. They asked for help and we helped them .
