I am surprised about the lack of media attention. This is IRAN V USA. Let's have a pre match Obama v Ahmednijad rap battle!

I honestly dont think we are gonna score more than 35 points!

one question; are bahrami and afagh even there on the bench??

i didnt see them during tunisia game, i hope they're there atleast for support. I hope its not true that they quit the team, cuz i had MAAAD respect for bahrami, but if he quit, i lose all my respect for him. I had really wished he could play against US and maybe get picked up by a team in NBA but it wont happen unfortunately

i do, i talked to arsalan just 2 hours ago. the best thing you could do is comment them on their FB's. they all like it. if theres anything specific you want me to say just let me know

Hey bro, did you have a talk with Arsalan? Guys, I sent out some words threw Keyan jan to arsalan, hopefully you made contact with him Kayan, and got those words out to him. It could prove very beneficial for our team. And always have faith guys, anything could happen!

Good luck to our great boys tmw, I hope we can show some more character and let everyone see that iran should be a force to reckon with!

lol while taking a nap i had a dream that arsalan kazemi dunked on kevin durant just like vince carter did to that french guy in 2000 so sick. Omg if that actually happened

Jesus, I thought some of the "armchair generals" on the Irandefence forum were bad, but some of you "armchair coaches" here are unbelievable! Regardless of what any of you think about the coaching staff, believe me that there is not a thing that you guys could say or do that would be beneficial to these guys. This is the level of Iranian basketball talent at the moment, just accept it and enjoy it for what it is.

As far as tomorrow's game vs. the US, I think the biggest suspense and story line is whether Oshin Sahakian asks Lamar Odom whether he can meet and take a picture with Khloe Kardashian, since she'll be there in the stands watching.

[Bluegrey13]

[Babak]

[radin119]
