Team Melli is in Shambles. Officially Divided.

[Tarsal Claw]

Brilliant!
We have the best chances EVER in a World Cup (close to home so basically home field advantage, tons of Iranian fans that will be in attendance, playing the US which brings out the best in us, major talent in the squad, etc.) and now we ruin it because of social media??
Holy crap!
They better get their act together fast. They ALL need discipline. Take the phones away and ban posts for 5 months. They need solidarity and unification at this point.
We have a great chance to get out of this group, even against England that has been crumbling.
And now this???

[Nokhodi]

A guy like Ghaedi who rightfully was finally cut from TM, would of course support anyone other than Skocic.

He was not right fully cut , look at the clown nourahalli he was deemed worse that ghaedi at his club team but was still a starter for skocic , it this bullshit double standard cock-itch has ,,, where he lets a player like nourallahi play 90 min, he lets nourafkhan play 90 minutes….. they are bench players attt best , in my opinion don’t even deserve to be in the TM..

[vatanparast]

Literally all of the iranian forums were asking for Amiri to be benched in two separate instances.

Queiroz brought the guy in both times and this is how he is repaid? Disappointing, shows how deep this "irperspolis" "only stats matter" PP fan extremism is.

I am a persepolis fan but I am Iranian first and respect all players yes even esteghlali ones and wish esteghlal success against arabs and asians just not against persepolis. This division is caused first due to mismanagement by sports ministry ,lFF and other morons that have no qualifications to be involved in sports or soccer. I doubt they are qualified enough to flip burgers.
Secondly skocic is weak. He is not a leader and his stupidity caused controversy and division. Team was united before him now it’s divided. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.
They let Carlos go big mistake. They brought wilmots and wasted millions, they brought skocic who managed to not screw up against weak arabs unlike stupid wilmots. But skocic was exposed against korea and algeria missing half their starters. Algeria friendly result isn’t important its the tactics and player choices. Noorafkan is an ok dometic based midfielder but he is terrible at left back and has no place as cb.

The anti Skocic fans are part of the problem, sorry but some members are very negative.

Skocic fans are the problem!!!

[sam20]

This team is divided - like never before. Thanks to Skocic's incompetence and lack of personality for creating this environment.

Mehdi Taremi, Saman Ghoddos, Ansarifard etc. posted this in unison against Sardar's post.

Translation:
Today's story which was published under the title of national team players, was without consent, information, coordination and against our wishes, and it is disrespectful to the national team. Issuing unrealistic statements in the name of the national team based on the personal interests of some national team players and causing the team to be divided into two groups. We are all soldiers of the people of Iran and the colourful flag of our country, and we show our capabilities on the field with all our strength and give our lives to put a smile on the faces of the people. Denying the current difficult situation that the national team is facing only increases the mountain of our problems.'

So Azmoun literally said "on behalf of all TM players" or something with same meaning? - Sorry I can't read the post in Farsi!

So Azmoun literally said "on behalf of all TM players" or something with same meaning? - Sorry I can't read the post in Farsi!

Basically he said all of us team players coaches staff Federation wanna support this team for the World Cup and we don’t want any changes to happen until after the World Cup that’s what he basically said and he said everybody is in support of the coaching staff until after the World Cup

I love how the FA and half the TM players are turning against Skocic, but somehow it's all the critics of Skocic (and supporters of CQ) on PFDC and elsewhere who are the problem Lol. Baba we don't have that much weight/clout. Just a bunch of super dedicated fans who like to discuss. What happened to your argument of "just support TM and the coach"? If half the players don't support the coach, do you see how your argument collapses?

Think that will be the end of Skocic then. If even one member of the squad is not fully bought in, that signifies failure of head coach and must be removed. To have this level of disunity a few months before kickoff is a disaster. Get him out ASAP. CQ first choice, if not daei or nekounam with some high level assistants is good option. Morocco just fired halilodzic and brought in domestic coach last week

yeah its over i expect him to resign at any moment. Its either that or he has to cut half the team including his capitans and Taremi.

Thank you.

This forum has a vast majority of Persepolis fans who support TM over anything else, and who supported Queiroz. Same as Esteghlal fans

I wasn't making a point about pp or eses fans in general, just these social media accounts and subcults which seem to have affected TM so much.

[milad_b]

Zahreh maremoon kardan ! Either way we are F*ked and I blame the people who started this skocic out BS campaigns!
Now the team is divided!


Azmoun , amiri , Gholizadeh, moharami , Shoja , kanani , (Omid ebrahimi), Noorafkan , ahmadnoor , etc.... on one side
Taremi , ARJ , Ghoddos , Ezza , hajsafi on other side.

They better bring CQ back otherwise we are f*ked ! Taremi and ARJ should also be held accountable for this mess if CQ is not back.

Skocic now has no place in team melli and he must resign . We will now get some shitty coach .


BTW about 1.5 months left for our friendly in september and we have 0 confirmed.

So the people are the cause of the team being divided?

Yesss post of the week

Yes if the media didn't poke the team like this and supported the team and coach this would've not happen.

[Keshwardoost]

Id say if IFF supported the team since february, this wouldbt happened, atleast not like this.

Sko has to resign now its over for him.
Lets hope CQ comes in now he can sort this mess out. Domestic coach it same mess.
