      finally our senior team does well.
      it seems like the players from the youth teams are taking over the senior team now.

      or am I mistaking and this isnt the senior team, but a youth team?

        thx 4 all the infos guys!
        any vids?
        IRI's politics is no different than handling a pressure cooker ..... As the pressure builds up, you slowly let the steam out just a tad bit so that you don't see overflow, and once the pressure from below is less, you put the lid down again and raise the temperature.

          Good stuff, first the team made the World Championships and now they are in the finals. This is the farthest a senior Iranian volleyball team has ever made it in this tournament.
          The good thing is due to proper planning and abundance of talent, Iran will hopefully have a good volleyball team for another 5 or 6 years at least. The next really big step is qualification for 2012 Olympics.

          Also watching these teams just depresses me, realizing our football team has just as much potential but they can't do shit when it counts.

            ^I think our football has too much hashieh to grow. Our volleyball doesn't have such a problem, which creates a stable environment for growth.

              Simply put , Iranian footballers are a bunch of spoiled brats and non-achievers. They are quite rich compared to other athletes and famous and acheive fame in no time.

              Other sports , even wrestling , does not get the attention that football gets in Iran nor the heavy investment.

              That is why the achievement of the Basketball team earlier this year and now the Volleyball team is something to revel in and be proud of.

              The final is on Monday 5th October at 10:00 GMT.

                            Quite remarkable. Iranian players started very strongly and series of defensive blocks by Zarini in addition to some great serves was the highlight of this set.
                            Japan is a very strong team though and showed glimpses of brilliance.

                                damn looks like it will be 1-1 now as Japan dominate this 2nd set.
