Kuwait, I assume.

Well diplomatic relations were just renewed in August with Kuwait and UAE. My guess is Qatar or Oman...I think while things are frosty still with Saudi no Persian Gulf nation will play us besides Qatar or Oman.

Iraq, Bahrain and UAE already faced Team Melli in the qualifiers, so don't think Team Melli would want to play them again before the World Cup.

Saudi Arabia has never played Iran in any friendly match. They have a full schedule of friendlies anyways, so most probably not them.

Oman plays Colombia (November 9) and Germany (November 15). Branko does not want to face CQ in a match.

Qatar plays Guatemala (October 23) and Panama (November 6). So if they decide to add another friendly, then maybe they might play Team Melli.

So I guess it will be either Kuwait or Qatar.

Conveniently, CQ should play Nekonam in the absence of opponents.

new CQ interview with BBC just dropped. 20 mins, all english obviously.

[inarsenewetrust]

Amazing interview, just finished listening.

CQ says he feels like older brother to some of the players, having to leave some at home when they were kids in 2014, and now looking at their progression to the top levels of the game.

One standout quote: " I have never seen in my life players that deliver so much with so little"

Also added that he was shocked how much they remembered the system, tactics, mentality from last time

Of course, right on time. So predictable, these lots...smh

Can I request the US be banned for the systematic extrajudicial killing of black people, including George Floyd? Or their reduction of women's right to choose?

If we're going this route, then let's expose all government and police-state abuses.

Does this mean we will have the same tactics and system? (no comment)

No you cannot. Fifa is looking to expand in North America hence the 2026 WC. Plus it's not like the USA lied and said a country had WMDs as a pretext for war...if that happened then maybe fifa would bam them...wait nevermind.

It's not like they illegally occupied two countries for 20 years, collapsed 3 other countries, instigated coups, humanitarian disasters, sent native kids to "re-education" camps, systematically suppressed and discriminated against 1/7th of the own population, etc, etc.

Invasion of sovereign countries are really horribly bad, unless of course the invaders speak English! Just ask Russia!

[Karimi 8]

I knew there’d be a push to ban the team. Iranians also seem divided. I would not want to be the players right now

Masterclass interview by the seasoned coach. Says everything in an inspirational and confident manner, without coming across as disingenuous.

What a gem of a man.
