The big Middle East Football - thread

[-SINAN-]

I was happy when Galatasaray eliminated Juventus (club I do not like) but the team I prefer to win the league each year is Besiktas although I do not follow Turkish football.

Are there any particular resasons ???

The IPL coaches demanded some their players back to the clubs, so Iran U22 will be without key players and will play with a very depleted squad. And the U22 coach Mansourian resigned couple of days ago.
So Iran will not do great in this tournament, especially since we are grouped with Japan and Australia.

Thats the only way to become better, you must allways compare yourself with the best.

i second that

but saying that turkey "sucks" is a little too harsh

Iraq - KSA 3-1
Kuwait - Australia 0-1
Japan - Iran 3-3

Watched the Iran-Japan game this morning, what a crazy match. Possession was 66-33 for Iran and Japan was reduced to counter attacking football. As usual though, our piss poor defense cost us the full 3 points. Iran plays Australia next and I'm pretty sure we're gonna win.

This is a bit of surprise considering how the u-22 team just fell apart last month. Mansourian quit as coach, all the clubs refused to release their players etc... Japan looked like a second rate team against our B side.

btw, all the games are being shown live and on demand on You Tube (AFC's page). Quality is great too.

 

[1000and1night]

Im pretty proud of our youngsters, we have solid teams from the u-16 upp to the u-22 team. The only side that are crap at the moment is our NT, talk about irony..

Anyway here is the Iraqi goals against KSA

Iraq - KSA 3-1
