Good, case closed. Now let's move on with our lives, and concentrate on players we actually DO have, the world cup is two months away, our first match is in 71 days..

Let's attack his FB page for betraying Iran

sad part is a lot of guys have probably already done that....

In reality did we expect otherwise. Japan is very strict with citizenship, if he played for Iran with Iranian passport he would lose his Japanese citizenship and residency there. So I for one can't stand in judgment on his decision. Good luck to him and lets move on.

He was the chosen one

Way ahead of you; though the insults yet have to come:

[Kaveh11]

I'm sure this wasn't an easy decision for him, I wish him luck with the future

[Zamboor]

At least we got some bright young iranians who aint hating on him and respecting his decision.

This decision of Aria is totally understandable. Like I said, Japan has a very strict law which forbids him to have dual citzienship. Aria would be crazy if he gives up his Japanese passport to play for Iran. That means the country where he was born and raised, will give him a very hard time living. I'm sure none of our European members for example would give up their nationality.

Too bad he didn't join though, he could be a great asset for the team. Best of luck to him, although I think he will face heavy concurrency since the Japanese midfield is over crowded and mostly European based. The number 10 position is taken by a great player Keisuke Honda, let's see if Aria can change that.

It's a shame but acceptable as he also has Japanese blood.

I wish him good luck for the summer, cause i can imagine that it will be hard for him watching Iran WC14 games at TV and realising that this was his only chance to join a WC.

Bombing people's facebooks or twitter accounts is retarded. He made his decision, we should move on. Especially when the situation is serious in terms of citizenship issues, he made the right decision. Hopefully he finds success with Japan, who knows, maybe one day we might see him in the starting 11 and face his Japan side
