    We have embarrassingly unfit athletes in every sport, not just football!

    After watching Team Melli fall apart after the 70th minute of every match, virtually game after game, I was convinced that only our footballers are lacking fitness.

    Well, today, I found out that we seem to have embarrassingly unfit athletes in every sport, not just football.

    In case you didn't know, Iran's water-polo team is in Romania, participating in a competition which serves as qualifiers for the World Cup.

    Now, I must admit I had never seen Iran's water-polo team in action until today and I can say I wish things hadn't changed.


    Our water-polo team took hosts Romania in their first game today.
    When the match was about to start, I was so excited.
    I turned up the volume to the maximum to hear Iran's national anthem. Needless to say, this caught the attention of my romanian collegues.
    Bad move! I was about to get humiliated...

    Once the national anthems were over, the players of both team took off their robes. What followed can only be described in one word: HORROR!

    While the romanian athletes were all muscle, looking like super-models, some of our guys had HUGE BELLIES (I kidd you not!) and you'd think they had hand-picked them out of a chelo-kababi!

    The result?

    Iran was massacred 25-1!

    This was Romania's biggest victory in the history of their water-polo team.

    In water-polo, each period lasts 8 minutes. After the first half, the score was 8-0, after the second half it was 16-0. Our team let in one goal per minute!

    After the first two periods, the romanian coach took out his best players and used the reserves, otherwise we could have lost by a world-record margain!

    After the match, even the romanian national team coach talked about Iran's lack of physical condition, saying he knew our players would run out of breath very fast.


    Final note:

    Khak bar saremun.
    Ma hanuz nemidunim ke varzesh tan-o-badane sare-hal lazem dare.

    Today, after seeing our over-weight water-polo players who are on-par with our over-weight, unfit football players (Example: Ali Karimi), I understood that our biggest problem isn't the iranian regime or lack of proper facilities.

    Our athletes have an ATTITUDE PROBLEM and are not hard-workers.
    Otherwise, no athlete who RESPECTS himself can participate in global competition with a chelo-kabab belly!

      And that is exactly why we've had the best basketball team in Asia for awhile, same reason that someone named Arsalan Kazemi made it to the NCAA and Hamed Haddadi made it to the NBA.

      It's not every sport. In fact, it is only a few sports. What about Futsal? Wrestling? Karate? Judo?

      Why do we only see the negative aspect of everything?

      Our fitness in terms of football has been lacking for a while now, and that's IFF's fault as well as the head coach's, whoever they may be.

        I don't know.
        In my opinion, there are very few sports in which Iran is successful while, in the majority of sports, we are not good enough.

        And, again, in my opinion, we are not good enough because our athletes are not hard workers.

          I think you're being a little bit too cruel here. As Dreamer mentioned here, there are a lot of sporsts which we're good at. We've just won Taikwando's world title, our wrestlers have always been good, our basketball rules the continent and so does our volleyball in a way. Our Futsal is one of the best in the world and we're getting better in track and field.

          Obviously our waterpolo was embarrassing, but generalizing is unfair.

            don't forget sit down volleyball, we have the most olympic gold medals in it. I agree with everyone else, it is only limited to a few sports, football being the main one. Anyway, not to compare, but out of curiosity, what sports is Romania good at and is it related to fitness. If so, how much of that is related to it's communist past?

              lol how are you even a journalist? you are using a sport like water-polo, which 99% of countries dont care about, with there players who are probably the only people in iran who play water polo to relate to player conditioning in football, basketball, futsal, etc, more important sports being poor as well?! LOL romania press as khabar varzeshi badtare

                calm down, we were never a water polo sport team but yea its embarrasing if they had bellys and all....which i dont understand cuz ive been to some pools in iran and there are lots of athletes with great muscular bodies so its not like we cant do it, so i really dont understand how a water polo team could have bellys



                but all in all, this goes back to the roots and how IR fails to spend any real money on sports and infrastructure

                  That is really bad because most of the guys I know who played water polo could bounce a silver dollar off their eight pack of abs. This is not just with Iranians most athletes just rely on their talent and hit a wall when everyone is at their level. Only the good become great thorugh hard work and in every ****ry there are only a fandfull of great athletes, but yes this goes with the Iranian mentality of not working hard.

                  I love how you throw poor Karimi under the firing squad as if he had something to do with Iran's water polo debacle . I get what you are saying it's just funny.

                        Steroids are found everywhere, from Iran to Austria to Canada. It's not just limited to Iran...
