Brazil vs. Egypt

[Pharaoh]

Brave performance missing some key guys but man what a heart-breaker . It was awesome to see us ball with the best of them, but man our defense sucks. Can't defend a set-piece to save our lives.

Egypt's second goal had some great team work behind it, unlucky ending for them at the end of the match

they have not qualified yet..and that 3-1 loss in Algeria could cost them big time..

I haven't seen you in the general forum at all ... I thought you were very political, is that when only we discuss Shah?

Anyway I saw bits and pieces here and there, and Egypt are excellent. They don't need Amr Zaky, they have Zidan.

People fought oppression during the revolution, just as people are doing now.
The situation and aims may be different, the scale may be different, and the outcome now is unknown, just as it was during the revolution, but the Iranian people are standing up for themselves!

During the revolution, they chanted Marg Bar Shah, now they chant Marg bar Dictator.

1. His [Mousavi's] ''cruelness'' is to be debated. Not everybody has the same view on him. I personally don't think he is the best leader, but he is better than many!
Also, they are cheering for him because he was the main opposition to Ahmadinejad.

2. In the crowds of people, there will be those who want the overthrow of the IR. There will be those who want the IR to stay, and be reformed, rid of corruption.

3. Not all the supporters are the same! The thing that they share in common is that they are Iranians who are angry at the election results/fraud.
There are women there with barely any hejab, and their women protesting with full chador. There was also a protester holding a sign saying something along the lines of ''Islam = Fairness'' (I cannot remember exactly).

It is not a rally against religion, or a women's right rally. It is a rally against the election, and to some extent against IR, and all sorts of Iranians are united in this!

In a sense you are right, and I thought the same thing.
However, it could lose him [Karroubi] the votes of others. Not all religious people are conservatives who approve of the oppression of religious minorities. Also, the fact that he is a molla may give him some legitimacy in the eyes of some people.

Overall, it's hard to tell what affect him being a molla has on his popularity.

Oh ok, I thought you meant why aren't all of the female protesters removing their hejab.
Of course, anybody who wants to wear hejab should, and who ever doesn't want to shouldn't.

btw I believe there are some women not wearing hejab in the protests (it wasn't clear, the image was blurry) but they are probably a small minority.

In response to Shah Houman asking why people are chanting ''Allaho Akbar''

It also says ''Yes, we are muslims, and we don't approve of you abusing the religion of Islam to oppress Iran''.

I have never said anything, directly or indirectly, in favour of IR and its oppressive ways.

From now on, please don't worry so much about what I have posted, and where I have posted it.
