WC22 TM's preparation and friendlies

[teammelli91]

It's ironic that, within six days, Mexico will have played it's 4th friendly game. Most teams have so far played at least two preparatory games. And Iran......?

Cero 0.

But... but, we're number 1 in Asia? 🥲

Don't roast me, just making fun of IFF.

Uruguay is still interested to play us since we have been playing with South Korea in our WCQ. Majedi is an idiot if he can't schedule the game in september. They need to play us more than we need to play them.

I think he's already established he's an incompetent idiot. He's a former player who also has managerial/administrative experience. One would think someone who was an ex-Iran footballer, and with those credentials could do a better job. He's proven he does not belong in our national team. Very disappointing.

The Nations Leagues in Europe & concacaf which are fairly new are ruining our friendly chances, its time for Asia to come up w/ AFC Nations League

[Rooyintan]

Team Melli are toast. I doubt very much if FFIRI are capable of arranging friendlies for September with teams from CAF, CONCACAF and CONMEBOL.

Not to mention the needed friendly in November just days before the World Cup with any of the following:
Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Ukraine, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Turkey, Serbia or worst case with Macedonia, Georgia, Armenia, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Slovenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Iran vs england already in top trends.

Na baba, we missed our chance to play them.

[Abtin]

assuming there will be no friendlies this month, and maximum 2 possible in september (not more than 1 will happen for IR against Tajikistan C team), putting your bets on 0 points and goals in november is safe money 👏💰

IFF+Skocic messed up, nothing else.
Look at Japan and S.Korea, they have 4 friendlies lined up in June.

simply put, there's no excuses. If they could do it, what's IFF's excuse? Time to get over the crying and learn basic English.

As a fan it honestly hurts that our team hasn't played a single friendly yet. It hurts even more knowing that our continental rivals South Korea and Saudi Arabia get to play against the likes of Brazil/Colombia, and we have to pray that they’ll even answer back our emails.

I know I’ve written about this before, but I want to emphasize on this in case members of Iran’s.. Excuse me, I meant the islamic republic’s football federation are reading this.


In Fall 2012, Iran played South Korea and Uzbekistan in the 2014 World Cup Qualifiers. I believe it was Reza Ghoochannejhad’s 1st or 2nd cap for Iran, and Ashkan Dejagah’s 4th or 5th match for Iran. Around the same time, Iran’s U-16 and U-19 national teams were competing in their respective Asian Championship tournaments.

Saeid Ezatolahi, Ali Gholizadeh, Sadegh Moharrami, and Majid Hosseini were 16. Sardar Azmoun, Alireza Jahanbakhsh, Roozbeh Cheshmi, and Hossein Kanaani were 17-18 years old. These players were playing in those tournaments.

In the last 10 years we’ve watched these players grow from kids into professional footballers. They are a BIG reason for why this Iran national football team is where they are today. They are the core of this Golden Generation of Iranian football.

The Islamic republic football federation is responsible for our golden generation, and they can't set-up a fucking decent friendly to save their life.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is how this IFF and members of Majles treat their athletes. This is how they treat their athletes who cry their eyes out, get physically injured, players who carry guilt for years because they couldn’t do more to help their national team. Despite giving everything they have.

This is how the IFF treat their athletes when the national team they’re responsible for and are governing earn 4 points.. When they earn 4 fucking points in the "Group of Death" at the World Cup. The same athletes who had a poor preparation going into the same World Cup.

It breaks my heart. It is absolutely embarrassing, almost to the point of disgusting. It sickens me to see how they treat Team Melli.
