If it was opium-based, they may have allowed it."This is a totalitarian system whose presence people feel in their blood and in their flesh on a daily basis.

I believe the sponsor name is an issue. Imagine saying Kirin on TV and printing in media. Most tournaments including Asian Cup as well as international matches have alcohol sponsors on clear display and are broadcasted in Iran.Originally posted by Damavand View Post

They said it was because it's an alcohol sponsor. The name is not the issue, they would just not mention it and call it the Tokyo Cup or Japan Cup. That's not difficult.Originally posted by O-ZoNe View Post
Sobh bekhair! It's called the Islamic Republic and they don't allow women into stadiums - they beat them outside for wanting to watch a football match. The tournament is named after the alcohol company."This is a totalitarian system whose presence people feel in their blood and in their flesh on a daily basis.

Why not friendly game against Australia or Saudi Arabia

Saudis are a non starter politically and strategically (they have aweful tactics like grass rolling that is useless to our experience).Originally posted by allan123 View Post
Australia is unlike any of our group members, however would be a good but emotionally charged challenge since 1997.Comment

We have to hope that other teams invite us to prepare themselfs for their Asian opponents or teams beeing near to Iran from its playing style.
Looking at the post of Taremiscores with our 2014-2018 friendlies ive to say no wonder we dont go anywhere, as a WC team you have to play from low to big teams to have that feeling already.Comment

please… all we need is iceland, denmark/croatia, canada. that’s literally all we have to do, how hard is it to get 3 solid friendlies?Comment

Because of UEFA Nations League, it will likely be impossible for TM to arrange any friendlies at all with any European national teams before the start of the World Cup. This is not just an issue for TM, but for all non-European World Cup teams - even Brazil has complained about it:Originally posted by kian_khosh View Post

I thought we were very close to some combination of Panama, Peru and New Zealand. Honestly, I'd take it at this point. Maybe squeeze in Venezuela somewhere and throw in Russia and Uzbekistan in before the WC and it may be the best we can hope for. I was giving IFF the benefit of the doubt, but it seems these numbskulls have regressed in their work.Comment

Great article. Thank you for sharing.Originally posted by armen View Post
Really highlights the dismissive, condescending and destructive attitude the biegger European countries have towards non-Euro nations in football.
Furthermore, CONMEBOL will be joining the UEFA Nations League from 2024 on.
This will be terrible as the remaining continents will basically never play European or South American nations again unless its a World Cup!
