I think we all need to take a moment.

[Masoud_A]

Mad would be an incorrect description.

Now you lost me, I don't even know why you quoted me in the first place?

[Kaveh Ahangar]

If Mashallah and Insh'Allah won you medals, Saudi Arabia would be top of the medals table. Thankfully, they're not.

[Ario Barzan]

why r u barking @ everyone in sight?!

open minded members r correctly pointing out that instead of using tazee words, its best if we use equivalent pure parsi words. we're not enemies here ... just kindly pointing out that in order 2 gradually rid ourselves of the tazee influences in our language and traditions, we're gonna have 2 want 2 and give it an effort.

BTW, thanks 4 starting this thread on the well deserved praise and celebration of our athletes success 2day.

long live our pahlavanan!

Afarin..Mashalla...Dameton Garm...any other words you would like me to say? Can't believe such blatant hatred is on this forum.

No one is bashing them! I am saying we need to give our olympians more credit, and hopefully this will be a push for TM to qualify to Brazil!

[teammelli91]

And congratulate our champions, our hamvatans, our athletes, who despite being numbered at 57 and unfairly discriminated and cheated at times, managed to hold off all odds and succeed in bringing home Iran's best Olympic performance. These guys earn pennies compared to our spoilt footballers who cannot put a pass together, and yet manage to put up our name high in front of the entire world! I pray for the day we qualify to the WC2014 and make such an impact. Faghat IRAN!

Mashallah Sourian.
Mashalla Salimi
Mashalla Haddadi
Mashalla Nourozi
Mashalla Rostami
Mashalla Anoushiravani
Mashalla Navab
Mashalla Rezaei

[Matador]

Please don’t use this glory to bash and put down our footballers. They have their own problems and have to suffer under the whole situation as well. Let's just support and love them all, FAGHAT IRAN !

PK jan, I agree with you to a certain extent. But the players in PP and SS are very porroo, overrated, overpaid and really don't do much to improve themselves. Sure we don't have a ton of facilities, no decent youth programs, government is in control of clubs, dallals, corruption...etc., but doesn't all this apply to our Olympians as well? Even our volleyball team, despite not making it to the Olympics, is making vast strides and constantly improving. Our basketball team is getting better too.

At some point, it comes down to the individual and the amount of gheyrat they have. Many of our footballers are spoiled and can't improve, or don't care to improve. They're happy with just the money! Conditions in Iran were no better in 1996-2000 yet at least we had players who actually cared and were willing to go to Europe at the risk of being benched, injured, and with less pay. You don't see that anymore. Now it's just PP, SS, or some Qatari club. Why couldn't Hosseini stay with Sepahan, who actually plays really good football, and help them win the ACL for Iran for the first time? Instead, he decides to go to a rotten PP team full of corruption for a few extra zeros in his bank account.

Anyway, a thousand thanks to our Olympians! They did us proud.

[Karimi 8]

Lol gotta love how we go from praising our Olympians to bashing Arabs. Might as well jump on board. Screw you Saudi Arabia! Woohooo Iran!!!

[oldcoach]

Mashallah Iran

Mashallah

[metallica69]

First congratulation to our lads and might I say mashallah and inshallah we win a few more medals in the
Coming days.
Second and this goes out to all you guys who turn a trend into a different discussion when we all need to happy that with all the odds against us we are currently sitting on the 12 place on the medal rankings, what I fail to understand is why cant you just be happy and leave the rest of us all that actualy care to enjoy this day. We forget that this is a football forum and a sport forum.

No word in any language will change anything, period.

So all of you who don't care about our amayzing accomplishment go get a life.

[saeed_noro]

wrong forum, but i agree

not wrong forum! It is the right forum because the most give a look only to this forum! I agree!!

[Paradigm]

Please replace ''masallah'' for a real Persian word afarin.

Or "dorood bar" will work as well.

The first medals are the most difficult. Once the flood gates are opened, they keep coming!

Now Iran needs to also focus on other areas such as swimming, cycling, Judo, track & field...

The winter olympics are also another thing to think about.

[irani8perspolis]

Actually this is the exact right forum!

i just realized, i didnt read the entire post... thnx for the correction

[Camran khan]

I hope our football players learn something from these great athletes.

[Martin-Reza]

Sorry, it is the wrong forum. This forum is about football and that is why most give it a look. So topic moved.

[Sharkie]

Thank you for such a great thread!

If you weren't such a knucklehead you would see that I DID in fact praise our accomplishments!
