LOL Saudis

[Iscariot]

Anyways, I think Saudi Arabia is a great team, bribe or not...they have a great record against Asian and African sides and have been our arch nemesis since the 80s. KC is just trolling, Nasrawi ByHearT so dont take him seriously.

I think Mcleroy has got some bumps in his head.
Hello buddy wake up... We all know Saudi bribed teams in the past and we all know Saudi bribes AFC. But c'mon man ur exaggerating a lot..
-upon all... when it comes to records and keeping away bad achievements...(like Germany loss or France loss)

They have better records than us.
atleast they reached to the 2nd round of WC '94 ...
they managed to pass the 1st round.. and we haven't even dreamt of it yet..
and frankly speaking... Iran's achievement is below Japan, Korea, Ksa and Australia.. these teams have far better records than us.
even if we r better team than Ksa.. I mean player wise and etc... Still we r way behind them in achievements

so to top it up they have more world cup appearances than us,

they have won a world cup at youth level,

They have reached the second round of the world cup

and they have achieved good results at the confederations cup on numerous ocations.

and have 3 more recent asian cup titles then us.

So overall it is fair to say they KSA is a better footballing nation than Iran!

we havent scored against a european side in WC since 1978! at least they qualify for every WC...

iran hasn't scored on a European side since WC 1978.
Iran 1 - Scotland 1

Wrong!

the Adesorian bureau for statistics says that we did score our last goal versus a European team in an official match in WCQ2002:

Iran vs Ireland 1 : 2 (Tehran, Azadi)

Can someone please inform me about all these Saudi bribing scandals? I have seriously never heard it come from a reliable source. If u got some, go ahead and tell me. I would shut up if there was nothing reliable.

[Iscariot]

The only proven case isnt really a bribe, but a Saudi businessman offered Bahraini players money to beat Iran during the 2002 W.C. qualifiers so that they directly qualify. I dont consider that a bribe though, technically its an 'incentive'...it would have been a bribe if they offered our players money to lose that game instead.
