2nd Period to a end and Iran keeps a edge on Qatar in this VITAL match 41-44...

Once again, Alot of investment has been made in this Iranian team and it has paid off it seems with a very strong squad fighting for the trofy.......

Our League has shown to be 1 of the most develouping leagues with Saba Battery and Sanam standing at being Some of Asias Top clubs......Saba Battery being dominant in the club sector for past 2 seasons now.....

Inshallah we can see results on the national level aswell...

3rd quarter soon to kick off

Hope everyone is following the live updates...Its indeed exiting....

Great to see sports such as Volleyball and Basketball or even Handball getting alot of investment and SUCESS in Iran....While soccer we still just dissepoint

HAHAH Irans coach was drinking water nd as he looked over to the Qatari coach he spat the water out nd gave him the meanest look you will ever SEE......OMGG HAHAHAHAHAHA..........

Qatar coach just turned around lmaoo....

Really funny

[Arashi_Washi]

I just wanna say these Qataris are so dirty...Half their players are black africans....Good players to....GREAT players....

But Iranians are still better..Qatar can try whatever they want....

Iran wins 3rd quarter 68-63 and are on a good way to win...

Irans coach is looking very exited...

Fkng Qataris....Deserve to lose....gather a bunch of americans and naturilize em...Iran is showing them a lesson

Iran wins 95-87 in a great match once again...

WE are now through to the Semifinals of the tournament which is a big achievment...We should deffinatly be proud....

We now face Lebanon in the last match of the group....

Good luck and Iran has surely been impressive...Lebanon are BIG Favourites...
Very big favourites....

[futbol>>>IRAN]

apparently lebanon has a good basketball team , hopefully we can beat them.

apparently lebanon has a good basketball team , hopefully we can beat them.

They are probably the favourites to win this tournament.....Quite honeslty..

Iran has done fantasticly Well and we are on course to win a GREAT Championship and achievment in our Basketball..PROOF of the world been done in this sport in Iran...

Lebanon are mighty......It will be a challenge....

[Arashi_Washi]

On another note i belive Iran has develouped into 1 of Asias Best basketball teams..Our clubs, Our league and even our National team...

Qatar is 1 of the strongest teams aswell, Yet again we convincingly beat them....

Lebanon on the other hand are very strong but only last year our youth teams beat their youth teams in 2 different age levels...

Aswell as of Saba Batterys Championships in the West Asian Club Championships and Asian Club championships proved this...Note thoose 2 club tournaments are Asias biggest, and Saba Battery won both of them

We need to prove it once again here, in this tournament..By winning this tournament and Hailing ourselves as 1 of the best in Asia

And btw to answer someones question earlier in this thread, we have 2 players playing in Germanys top division basketball league after being transferred from Sanam....we also have 1 playing in the Russian league...But this coach has exluded all of them if am right...None of them are invited

A great coach indeed...So far his work has been noticed..This squad is a bunch of very very young players, He is looking to build for the future...

I am exited for the aspect of our basketball......Inshallah they can win this tournament...it would mean soo much for the people of Iran and it would top of yet another fantastic year for our basketball....

[RahmanRezai]

Our basketball team is doing what our football team couldnt.

A team without stars.

Our basketball team is doing what our football team couldnt.
A team without stars.

This team...This coach, Look at the squad....

He has ignored a couple of big players, He has ignored big players from Big clubs or even overseas.....

And if you look at the squad you will see the average age of this squad is probably lower then 23....

Look at the squad for yourself..
Its great to see.....

This is awesome! The semis in an accomplishment in itself and on top of it we are unbeaten.

We don't have to play the favorites Lebanon now in the semifinal which is a bonus, so Japan, Kazakhstan, Korea or Jordan await us.
