Ghasemi was gassed.

Lost 3-1

[KeonKish]

Akgul was gassed as well but I'm not sure why the ref penalized Ghasemi the first time

Looks like Faghani is doing a good job reffing the final.

[Keano]

In Football final Brazil is putting tremendous pressure on Germany.

Faghani doing great! [emoji122][emoji122][emoji122]

Faghani rightfully didn't give Brazil a penalty after a dive and he gave an advantage to Brazil after Neymar was fouled and that led to a dangerous opportunity. Its been master class reffing

[Keano]

Really impressed with his refereeing in this match, he is present in all scenes, shown his amazing fitness.

I am upset. Friday was not a good day for Iran. Iran should have done better. Damn. Khoshti is our sport.

Poor formance by present Taekwondo players, all of them, even Kimia. She was better than Silver medalist.

gggggrrrrr. I want to kick my head to the wall.

How much does the US pay its athlete for a medal?

At this rate, they might end up broke!

I've seen Azarbaijani's celebrate with Turkish flag along with their own and the same from Turkish athletes. How come none are coming out with Iranian flags if we are brothers? Sure some genetic links exist but they are no more closer to us than oh say Afghanis are.
I have nothing against Azarbaijanis for the record...but if an Iranian represents them they are Azarbaijani not Irani...call a spade a spade. This isn't a job like Lozano has were he is paid to coach our vball team. You are representing them as an honour and privilidge particularly in the olympics.

Interestingly, in terms of MtDNA:
"Azeris from the Caucasus, despite their supposed common origin with Iranian Azeris, cluster closer with other Iranians (e.g. Persians, etc.) than they do with Iranian Azeris".

Richard Frye:

"The Turkish speakers of Azerbaijan (q.v.) are mainly descended from the earlier Iranian speakers, several pockets of whom still exist in the region"

Look I am Azari, and I happen to know also a lot of people from Azarbajedjan too.
Trust me, they hate Turkey.
Those people who hold both flags are 100% Turkish separatists pretending to be Azarbajedjanis!
its all Turkish propaganda.
In Baku, no one cares for Turkey at all!

Now in terms of Iran, elder Azarbajedjanis love Iran, the new generation (sowjet brainwahsed) sees Azarbajedjan as an independent country with no affiliation, but they still admit historical connection with Iran. But none care for Turkey!
Dont be fooled by Turkish propoaganda separatists, in Azabajedjan when they see people carry Turkish flag next to their flag, they get mad and swear at Turkish people.

Same is what they do in Iran among our own Azari fans, they dont represent us, they dont even speak Azari, they have their Turkish accent!

Is that the first olympic games we had iranians competing every days?

To the rest of us: CONGRATZ to 8 medals so far, meaning the second successful Olympics in Iran's history! and congratz to our first olympic gold medal in freestyle wrestling in 16 years!
and congratz to our most successful weightlifting ever in olympics with 2 GOLDS! and congratz to KIMIA ALIZADEH for becoming first Iranian woman to win a medal, and that at the age of 18!
I am proud and so happy!
