He's saying that about the Wales game? I can't even guess what he's on about, and I'm Welsh and watched the whole thing.
Yeah, wish I was paraphrasing or jumping to conclusions but that's literally what he said
What’s hard to understand? English fans arrogance makes it easy to laugh when they fail.
In way simpler terms Wales need a draw tonight. Then it's entirely in their own hands, beat England and they're through.
What the feck? Did he get any pushback for this?
Thanks mate! This team has been given a terrible time by the people accusing them of being obedient to the regime . Immense psychological pressure. So happy for them to get what they deserved.
I remember that game in 1998, back then I lived in place filled with people from Iran or of Persian descent, it was a joyful day for them.
I don't think it is arrogant to acknowledge that England are the dominant team in that group
He really said that? Piece of shit hope he gets punished, really no place for comments like that
Yeah, I saw it the same way. Can't even guess what Klinsmann is going on about there.
Iran's culture?
No, a draw would be out of Wales's hands too. USA would be on 2 points and if they beat Iran, they are through no matter what Wales does.
Kinda mixed feelings on this. Seems an awful lot of Iranians wanted their football team to fail as they are representing the powers that be.
Heard that he was a late bloomer as well.
I didn’t say it was
They are representing the country though? A country is much more than their leaders / politicians.
Up next, John Terry weighs in on racism and Ryan Giggs on how to be a good husband.
That's why I said mixed feelings.
Bad!
Scratch that. I'm looking at wrong tiebreakers.
I thought Iranian team as per their captain's comment is representing people and not the regime.
Nah, you're alright. We're fecked now. At least England losing would cheer me up, as unlikely as it is.
Almost felt sorry for you guys too!
That sounds like a plan. Hope a watering hole of some kind is easily accessible over there. You deserve it after going all that way to watch that shite.
I am really only dicking about. It's about jumping technique.
Yeah, I can't argue with this. We have a resident Iranian here who has patiently explained the nuances in various posts. I do think feeling sorry for the players is a sentiment shared by everyone, though. Just look at the way they sang the anthem. It really looked like they were forced into doing it.
I have no doubt the players have the best of intentions in what must be an incredibly horrible situation for them.
They've basically spoken out against the powers that be though haven't they?
Yeah, the lad spent too much time in iran and that 1 year stint at Qatar before making his European move, but to be honest he really did take a huge leap in quality when moved to Portugal, was never that clinical for perspolis.
What arrogance is that then? Maybe the sun newspaper but any English fans I know are quite level headed about our chances. The footballs coming home thing is obviously a joke. I thought everyone was in on that by now!
Nope. The whole panel acted like it was some smash and grab.What the feck? Did he get any pushback for this?
I didn’t say I’d rather England lose than us progress.
