Handball olympic qualification

[_Navid_]

Iran should prevent this traictor to come back in the country.

He has got his Hungarian passport. Don't think he would be coming back anytime soon!!

nope, he still spends his holidays in Iran.


btw Qatar beat Korea by only 4 goals and made it to the final, but it wasn't a close match as Qatar always had the lead by 5-6 goals but this results shows the fact that Qatar is not unbeatable. They are very strong though.

but if we lose to Qatar, we will be grouped with Spain, Germany and another European team in World Qualifiers. even though this grouping will change if one of those top countries wins the Euro Championship and qualifies directly. maybe Denmark and Slovenia instead of GER/ESP.

No way we're going to play these teams, it is almost sure that either Spain, Denmark or Poland (at home) or maybe Croatia will win the European slot, so will likely finish with Denmark/Spain + Slovenia + 3rd European team at the Euro who hasn't qualified yet, which means probably the 3rd team between Sweden, Macedonia, Iceland or Czech.
So our group is going to be something like Denmark/Spain + Slovenia + probably Sweden or Macedonia, I just hope we avoid Czech as it is potentially a big team. Otherwise if the federation does its job we have our chances, though small, but still if we play a more organized handball we can beat Slovenia and Sweden or Macedonia even though we have to be at 100% + luck + etc ...
Slovenia will be the main opponent for the 2nd place, and luckily most of their best players are currently playing at Montpellier next to Allahkaram and Sajjad too soon, it can help. But we'll need all of our guys on the right side as it is currently our big weakness.

All I can say is that Jamali is a prick and a diva.

I hope we can pull of a miracle tomorrow against Qatar. it will be difficult but it is doable. Interesting point about today was the Bahraini coach was Iran's coach last year!

HT Iran 11- 15 Global confederation of Qatar

[karimi_jaadogar]

Iran needs 3-4 years and will will catchup with Be honar Qatar

[_Navid_]

Our defence is better than them. Our problem is the finishing and to some extent they have a better keeper. Damn you Jamali.

Iran 13-20 Non-Qatari selection

[_Navid_]

[Irannn]

that was a good game, I beleive they could lose by 3-4 goals but just gave up fighting in last 10 minutes. Their GK Saric is one of the best in the world , (starting GK of Barcelona Club) and he made the difference.

we missed so many easy attacks including four penalties. who knows maybe we could win the quota with better finishing, but at least we can say we are the best team in Asia right now.

What a shame. If these exchanging nationality laws didn't exist we would have been in the Olympics right now...

Truly disgusted by :

1) qatari cheating

2) Jamali pofiuz traitor. Iran should burn his citizenship, as we don't need such gharbsvckers (unfortunately too numerous among iranians) and prevent him from putting his disgusting feet on Iran soil until the end of his life (or more funny, send him fight ISIS in syria next time he dare to come to Iran). This*** let Iran in the sh1t in world championships, let Iran get eliminated and prevent some of other iranians to play olympics and get noticed by europeans clubs. khak be saresh. Imagine Zlatan turning down his national team.

3) the worst of the worst : handball cheating rules!!! incridibly non-sens. As it is national sport to critizice Iranian federation in the forum, I want to thank the Iran Handball Federation, for such hard work and progress. Vaghean khaste nabashid bacheha, proud of you. Iran should stop investing in such BS sports like handball or Rugby (refuses Iran admission, racist sport that are only for dozens country, allows 11 new zealanders in Japan NT, or irish or South-African in French NT).

4) Olympics qualifying of Handball (the same can be said for basketball). WTF they give only one spot for asian championship and organise a pre-olympic tournaments where other europeans will qualify? Give 2/3 spots to Asia, 2/3 to Africa, etc.. give more to Europe if you want but stop this discrimination!! Olympic spirit is to let everybody participate.
According to french wikipedia, Iran will be group with the 3rd of world championship :Spain (as Qatar is now directly qualified for Olympic), 6th of world championship : Germany (as Qatar blablba) and 3rd of Eurochampionship (ti be detenmined). top 2 qualify. Welcome to Europe Iran!!!

Iran's handball team is truly the best team of Asia.
