Mexico Vs. Iran

[The_Game]

Who wins this game?

[bernardo8]

mexico

[KoreBolteR]

mexico. if mexico win the world cup i will also be happy. got a bet on them :D!

[Whirlpool]

lol, mexico is not going to win the world cup. they'll face holland or argentina in the second round and go home... i think they're respectable teams to lose to tho, shouldnt upset mexican fans as much as losing to the US in 02' WC, 2-0

[armank]

LOL IRAN WILL WIN FOR SURE MAN, they have Ali Dai Top player in whole Asia plus Ali Karimi a top player who won asian cup in 2004. Mexico has what good player?. In fact Germany wanted Ali Karimi to play for 3 major world cup games and offered him 2 million dollars. You all are just sayin mexico mexico cuz you have no background info of Iran. Just watch the game on sunday June 11th 11:30am ET on Sports Rogers.

Iran will be first on group D, they're so ready for this.

[Whirlpool]

keyword, asia; asia has, historically, not produced very good teams that have competed well with the rest of the world

[reza_901]

im worried about Iran. A few of their top players are injured.

Vahid Hashemian
Ali Karimi
Mehdi Mahdavikia
Fereydon Zandi

All 4 play in Bundesliga.
If they all get well in time for mexico, Iran will win. If not they will draw.

Mexico has a weak offense and Iran has a weak defense.

[armank]

Hey Reza don't worry, the coach has said they are fine and ready for mexico match. Iran Wins or Loses , they are not a Draw team. By the way Mexico has too much fighting going on, their coach is not so great and is stressing mexican players. The only top player they have is Kikin.

[bernardo8]

Ahhahahahh and ricoo makes a big deal of mexicans hyping the NT. Iran definitely wont get the first place of the group. Portugal will totally be over u with their awesome offense. Ali Karimi top goalscorer of asia. WTF Borgetti top goalscorer of concacaf and the whole world in the preliminaries. Yes its just concacaf but WTF the AFC is even behind concacaf I mean Laos, Bahrain, Uzbekistan, etc. neither korea, iran or japan are at Mexicos or the USA’s level. Plus u have 4 key players injuries. Including karimi.

[alijoon]

Um Iran kicked USA's ass on their last match 2-1. What are you talking about USA? , you guys are going by economic power or soccer? this is a soccer forum my friend!

[bernardo8]

Um Iran kicked USA's ass on their last match 2-1. What are you talking about USA? , you guys are going by economic power or soccer? this is a soccer forum my friend!
LMAO, u base which team is better on the last result. Mexico vs Brazil. Last result Mexico 1 0 Brazil in the confederations. Brazil had everyone except ronaldo while mexico had everyone except for marquez and blanco. Does that mean mexico is better? Of course not.

If u say Iran is better than the usa because of that result then ud have to say mexico is better than brazil.

[reza_901]

Hey Reza don't worry, the coach has said they are fine and ready for mexico match.

i hope so

[alijoon]

LOOOOL mexico won brazil? never heard of it but lets say you are saying the truth, still brazil probably didn't want to injure any of their national players and maybe brought random players from street LOL. Mexicans are aggressive and cause too many injuries. Brazil dont give a damn about any other teams unless its a serious match.

[reza_901]

Ali,
you are mentioning France 98, but that was not their last match. They played a friendly in 99 which ended in a 1 all draw.

USA, imho, is one of the most improved teams. And I just dont know if we can get the same results today.

[bernardo8]

OMG hahahahha u actually noticed how ***king ignorant u showed urself. FIFA confederations cup, official tournament. In germany last year. U looked like a real ass saying that match didn’t happen hahhahahhaha. Even if u hadn’t watched it would’ve been pretty smart to check it out on the internet. They didn’t give a ***k?? Hmm yea that’s why they played with every starter they will have in this WC (ronaldinho, dida, cafu, kaka, juninho, who else??) only ronaldo was missing and because he wanted to, parreira did invite him to the confederations.


here we go, its gonna be 4-2 WIN FOR IRAN and 3-1 WIN FOR PORTUGAL... if you need perdictions ASK ME. I've been watching soccer games for 30 years lol

it seems more like uve been watching soccer for only 3 months

[alijoon]

[QUOTE=reza_901]Ali,

No Reza, friendly match doesn't count, they didn't have real national players but USA always brings their top players.

[bernardo8]

oh so usa does care about friendlies and iran doesnt. ahahhah what an idiot.

been watching soccer for 30 years and doesnt know about the confederations cup hahahahhahahh

[alijoon]

Yo Reza, friendly matches don't count, Iran didn't have their real national players, they were all busy playing for other teams, USA has improved but Iran has improved even more.

Unless its a WC game, Brazil will not give their all. In fact, Iran beat Brazil 1-0 in the 70's, but no one remembers cuz it was not a WC game.

Good excuse for Ronaldo....
You know, I just dont feel like it coach, but you have fun.:lol:

[alijoon]

hey bernardo if you wanna chat go to chatroom, who gives a F-U-C-K about confederation and sh-it like that, we're talking about FIFA WORLD CUP which is only every 4 years.

[alijoon]

LOL mexico has old players all over 30, they should put age limitation so mexico wouldn't be so proud of their oldies, GET NEW PLAYERS MEXICO!! LMAO

[reza_901]

Yo Reza, friendly matches don't count, Iran didn't have their real national players, they were all busy playing for other teams, USA has improved but Iran has improved even more.

Good point, we were missing some key players.

but I really think that USA has improved a lot more than us.

[bernardo8]

Hmmm noooo. U are wrong. Nobody remembers cuz that match was 30 YEARS AGO.
Oh no wait nobody knows about that match because it didn’t even happen hahahha

http://www.fifa.com/en/mens/results/resultsdetails/0,2962,,00.html?param7=1&dd=0&param5=ALL&select13=BRA&select14=ALL&radiobutton=ALL

U say friendlies don’t count, well mexico over brazil wasn’t a friendly, nor the gold cup. And wether u want to accept it or not, brazil played to win. Brazil did care about that match. Still brazil is better, I just mentioned that so ur friend ali would know that to know which team is better u just don’t count the last match.

[alijoon]

we came from 40th top team to 20th, usa came from 18th to 15th. That's a bigger Jump for Iran altogether, who cares if usa is better now, they are eating african jewllery LOL, ***k USA after all.

[bernardo8]

hey bernardo if you wanna chat go to chatroom, who gives a F-U-C-K about confederation and sh-it like that, we're talking about FIFA WORLD CUP which is only every 4 years.

dude im not hyping the confed cup. im not going to get in a discussion with u. but ask anyone who KNOWS football and theyre going to tell u that the better team is not pointed out because of the last match

wanna talk about world cups. senegal 1 0 france. senegal better than france??? NO usa 3 2 portugal. usa better than portugal??? NO

[bernardo8]

we came from 40th top team to 20th, usa came from 18th to 15th. That's a bigger Jump for Iran altogether, who cares if usa is better now, they are eating african jewllery LOL, ***k USA after all.

ahhahah who says iran is top 20th team and usa 15??? you?? oh ok then that must settle it

[alijoon]

hold on hold on, BERNARDO did you mention LAOS as a good team?
I have better source for you... lol IRAN Rules ASIA go to that same website you linked and search for Iran history.


Iran (IRN) 7:0 (3:0) Laos (LAO)
FIFA WC 2006 Prel. Comp. Asian Zone TEHRAN IRAN - 17.11.2004

[3ALAN3]

hahahaha the point is that mexico is better lets just leave it that way k

[alijoon]

MAN, WE ARE THE ALL TIME ASIAN CHAMPION!! apart of that, we beat Ireland 1 nothing in 2002, Iran 5-2 Bosnia, Iran 3-1 Costa Rica, Iran 2-1 Germany, Iran 1-0 Ukrain, The list goes on for friendly WIN matches, go search yourself. This is all new around 2006.

U had just mentioned before friendlies dont count. Hahahhaha and when the ***k did Isay laos was a good team??? all new around 2006? the game against ukraine was in 2002. and the last result against germany was a 2 0 german win in Tehran in 2004. before that another 2 0 lost to germany in france 98. dude dont lie to make ur team look good. hahahah the costa rica match was 3 2. and the win over ireland was in the playoff to get to the WC 2002. which ireland end up getting hahahah u lost 2 0 on the second game

[3ALAN3]

hahaha wat people do to make their team better. ( mexico can get first place in the group member on 2002 italy was lucky.

[3ALAN3]

bernardo8 i dont knw wat u think but mexicos delanteros are looking kinda bad. Franco is not doing shit. wat u think

[bernardo8]

bernardo8 i dont knw wat u think but mexicos delanteros are looking kinda bad. Franco is not doing shit. wat u think
Yeah definetely, hes been doing nothing since he joined the team in france. Even he admitted not being 100% fit as he wanted too. Borgetti and Omar or Kikin need to start against iran cuz I just dont think guille will do it well. Ne ways they need more communication between their mids and fws. From what ive seen these past friendlies they’ve generated way to many scoring chances.

[Whirlpool]

ladies ladies, calm down, one week and we'll know who won... or maybe they tie? :(

[Havingfun]

Based on their recent upsurge Iran are no longer the easy beat they once were. Tough call

[handofgod]

LOOOOL mexico won brazil? never heard of it but lets say you are saying the truth, still brazil probably didn't want to injure any of their national players and maybe brought random players from street LOL. Mexicans are aggressive and cause too many injuries. Brazil dont give a damn about any other teams unless its a serious match.

Exactly, but don't waste your breath dude, these Mexicans are ultra ignorant and nothing more than a bunch of pendejos, comemierdas, que les guta el burrito por el orto.

Mexico sucks balls, Mexicans can't even say they rule Concaca, b/c the US has spanked their nasty, dirty behinds for some time now, including in the WC.

Mexico will suck yet again in the WC, best case scenario they will make it to the second round (b/c if they don't make it, well talk about embarrassment and humilation) where they WILL BE ELIMINATED AGAIN for the 100th time by either Argentina or Holland.

But remember even then these Mexicans will try to make excuses and say that it was a tremendous accomplishment to make it "that far". Let's just make sure we all tell them otherwise and how much they truly suck, tercos de mierda, ignorantes.

[3ALAN3]

i think the same omar and borgetti should start off that game i think omar is in a good moment right now. yeah alot more communication. deffence is ok just little bit of mastakes that have to b fixed. with Rafa, and salcido its hard to get past them. oh yeah and guille plays in Espana not france. do u think they will do good?

[bernardo8]

shouldnt a moderator take charge of this??

and why dont u read the rest of the posts he made. they were pretty stupid. he didnt even know about the game. and who said last 16 was a great accomplishment. from what ive seen most mexicans will be pissed if they make it only to the last 16

[3ALAN3]

hahaha, hanofgod or watever that shit says , u talking like that cuz u go for Argentina they need to learn how to lose first. k when mexico goes to the 2nd round and beats ARGENTINA ur stupid ass better not start crying ***kin argentinos think they r on gods hands wat kind of bullshit is that

[3ALAN3]

(hand-of-god) handofgod hahahahahaha wat kind of bullshit is that

Oh really? So why is it that when a ***kin no name Argentinian model goes to Mexico they become celebrities and stuff there (a lo mejor xq son unos feos de mierda).

You guys are pathetic and so it's your team, I can only wish they face Argentina in the second round so this shit ends and all of you ignorants shut the hell up once and for all.

[bernardo8]

I know, may be taking this shit too serioulsy myself, ***k it and let the teams do the talk.
see whats the problem with just saying it calmly hahaah lets just wait til sunday

[reza_901]

Anything can happen. Both teams are evenly matched. But I think Iran has the offensive edge.

[ricoo9]

I know, may be taking this shit too serioulsy myself, ***k it and let the teams do the talk.

I agree, lets just wait till sunday......I'm sure Iran will do all the talking for us.

[hodgiesmodgie]

I like Iran, but I live very close to Mexico. So, I hope they tie! Or, if that's not possible, I hope both teams win. Gooooooooo teams! And to the racist guy: sports are all about f-u-n!

[hodgiesmodgie]

I think that it will be a close match, but I hope that in the last few minutes of the game, everyone becomes friends.

[Antagonist]

I actually hope Mexico trashes Iran.
Iran does not know anything about Mexico's soccer history.
They don't know what awaits them on Sunday.
I give the score:2-1 Mexico wins

[iransoccer08]

Iran will win 2-1. Mexico's whole team is borgetti.

21 min. Mex. Borgetti

42 min Iran Hashemian


65 min Iran Mahdavikia


Final 2-1

iran goes 2-1 in group D
Mexico W
Portuga Ll
Angola W

[3ALAN3]

hahahaha 1. MEXICO
2.PORTUGAL
3.IRAN
4.ANGOLA MEXICO- 2 IRAN 0

[Antagonist]

Lets just wait for Sunday.

[caruiz93]

LOL IRAN WILL WIN FOR SURE MAN, they have Ali Dai Top player in whole Asia plus Ali Karimi a top player who won asian cup in 2004. Mexico has what good player?. In fact Germany wanted Ali Karimi to play for 3 major world cup games and offered him 2 million dollars. You all are just sayin mexico mexico cuz you have no background info of Iran. Just watch the game on sunday June 11th 11:30am ET on Sports Rogers.

Iran will be first on group D, they're so ready for this.

lol.mexico has nothing accoridng to you...get your facts stright.what about rafael marquez.a starting defender for barcelona(who has won the spanish leagu 2 years straight and won the champions league.)and what about jared borgetti, he plays for bolton in england.he isnt a starter but he has 8 goals and he barely got playing time. he has the highest goals per game at bolton.and what about gerardo torrado,he used to play in spain for sevilla.oswaldo sanchez the goalkeeper got offers from europe and brazil.ohh did i mention irans superstar ali karimi isnt even a starter at his club in germany.

[3ALAN3]

yea and dont forget franco he playes in Espana with very good players by his side

[caruiz93]

bernardo8 i dont knw wat u think but mexicos delanteros are looking kinda bad. Franco is not doing shit. wat u think

mexicos offense is looking bad but the defense is looking good.one goal might be enough to win.

[Saraj Fanatico]

Iran wins 1 to zip.

[caruiz93]

yea and dont forget franco he playes in Espana with very good players by his side
oh yeah i forgot to mention franco.he is not at his best right now but is still good.who cares if he is naturalized he learned the game in mexioc and has has spent the most part of his career in mexioc.right now he plays for villareal.

[caruiz93]

isnt ricoo peruvian.i think so.well if he is this goes for him and handofgod.you cant talk about beaners because isnt there a bean named after peru."frijol peruano."

[hodgiesmodgie]

Let's face it -- both teams can be surprising at times, but neither is consistent. That's what makes it so hard to predict. But Iran will still most likely win; experience matters in world cup games.

[caruiz93]

exactly this is like irans third time in a world cup and this is mexicos 13th time.i guess experience will matter.

[Fenerliyim]

iran will win 3:2

[persian power]

iran will win 3:2
wow, i am a true persian fan, but i have to say there more non persian in this form that think iran will win.

[Calif]

Mexico!!!!

[Valpo]

I say Mexico not only wins this game but also the entire group.

[caruiz93]

I say Mexico not only wins this game but also the entire group.

yeah.mexioco is not the same mexico of a couplae of years ago.they used to be a middle class team.now they are at top of the middle class or bottom of world class.

[caruiz93]

and it doesnt matter who has the most players in europe at the end it matters who plays better.

[Valpo]

yeah.mexioco is not the same mexico of a couplae of years ago.they used to be a middle class team.now they are at top of the middle class or bottom of world class.

Wow the US beats Mexico quite a bit. . . (Typically it depends on where they are playing but the US does better on Neutral pitches)

So would you be willing to admit that the US is in the same zone. . . Top of middle class/bottom of world class?

[MexicanAmerican]

U know better ***kin beaner, I can't remember of any names b/c on't make a habit of watching crap TV (Mexican TV0, but every now and they I surf your lame ass programs and see chicks that were probably cleaning toiilets in Argentina and then go to Mexico to b/c models.

Anyhow u r right this is outside of a soccer forum debate, recapping Mexico es una mierda en futbol.


Hey moderator, all this insulting from everyone is ridiculous. I didn't know that calling a person a "beaner" was part of a soccer conversation. Whether it's calling someone a beaner or something else, it's stupid. These people who sit there and name call each other and make racist remarks towards each other should be booted.

[MexicanAmerican]

I would be willing to admit that the U.S. is at the same level as Mexico. I actually think the U.S. has played a little bit better as of the last 9 months. But I think they Mexico and the U.S. pretty much play at a similar level.

[MexicanAmerican]

I've seen lots of Mexicans not lie to themselves. You just focus too much on the few that are a little more mouthy. Ricco, if you didn't let your feathers get ruffled, I'm sure you'd make for far better posts.

[Valpo]

Mexico is actually my second favorite team in the cup behind the US. Can't your fans are favorites of mine, the whole Osama Bin Laden chant was I think both inpolite and a low blow. (Like Chanting Hail Hitler in Israel) but I know that doesn't necessarily reflect upon their players.

Personally, I'm to the point where I'd like to see every single arrogant, spoiled, obnoxious, whiny, disrespectful European team go out in the first round.

That won't happen but I'd sure like to see it.

But I will laugh my butt off while I watch Brazil kick the living crap out of all of them.

Sorry to sterotype the whole contient but I feel like half of the Europeans I talk to have some kind of massive supierority complex that I just don't feel from Asians, South Americans, Africans, Aussies, and other North Americans.

[caruiz93]

mexico and the usa have played bad the last month.but i think mexico has a little edge over the last month.not because mexico is always better.sometimes the usa is better than mexico but just because mexico has played better teams.

[MexicanAmerican]

I think that's a fair statement. I think both teams are at the same level overall.
Back to the games, I'm really curious to see how the Mexico vs Iran game plays out. It's hard for me to really make a pic because I just really don't have any access to watching the Iranian team. From what I have read, they will no doubt be difficult opponent. This pic would have to be one that I make on pure heart. I of course would go with Mexico. But from what I have read I wouldn't be surprised if Iran won. On heart alone Mexico 2 Iran 1.

Hey MexicanAmerican? Are you that dude from that sci-fi movie "Goals: The Movie: Sucks" lol

I'm sorry I heard that movie blowed big time (and they are planning on two sequels) I guess the studio wants to go bankrupt asap, since I think it only lasted like a week in the theaters.

Anyhow, who are you rooitng for: Mexico or the US?

[reza_901]

Iran will win for sure because our injured players are almost all the way better. Karimi and Mahdavikia are the ones that missed the friendlies but theyll be playing against mexico.

Lucky for me I'm not that dude. I'd kick my own ass if I saw that movie.

I'll be rooting for both teams. My parents are Mexican and I was born here. So I have a lot of pride in having Mexican roots and having been born here.
But being that my dad watched most of the Mexican League Soccer and always has watched more of the Mexican National Team, it's become a part of me. So if I have to rate them I go :
1. Mexico
2. USA (very close second)
3. Brazil. I love the way the play the game. It almost looks like a bunch of kids having a great time playing which most teams should take note of that. What about yourself? Who do you root for?

[caruiz93]

Iran will win for sure because our injured players are almost all the way better. Karimi and Mahdavikia are the ones that missed the friendlies but theyll be playing against mexico.

for sure?id otn think so.mexico also has alot of important players. like borgetti marquez arellano sanchez.

Good for you, listen, a lot of the stuff posted here is just ppl breaking other ppl's balls, that's it, and u know soccer it's like that.
Anyhow I'm American, so I pull for the US. My father is from Peru, and mom is from Spain but we really don't pull for Spain that much cuz it's my it's mom's team not dad's and mom doesn't care about soccer.

I like Argentina too since growing up I had many friends from there, I'd say my favorites are the US, of course, and Argentina. I think though Italy is going to win and Spain is going far this time.

Wow the US beats Mexico quite a bit. . . (Typically it depends on where they are playing but the US does better on Neutral pitches)

So would you be willing to admit that the US is in the same zone. . . Top of middle class/bottom of world class?


Yes, you are right.. USA and Mexico along with others are in the same zone.. still far from top world class.. but in the right path...

[usgroup1]

...and what about jared borgetti, he plays for bolton in england.he isnt a starter but he has 8 goals and he barely got playing time. he has the highest goals per game at bolton.and what about gerardo torrado,he used to play in spain for sevilla.oswaldo sanchez the goalkeeper got offers from europe and brazil.ohh did i mention irans superstar ali karimi isnt even a starter at his club in germany.
he was a starter before he got injured and you compare bolton with bayern, unbeleivable!

anyway I'm iranian but let's face the truth, our defense is terrible and our only chance is our miracle, karimi

[handofgod]

Dude don't worry about what caruiz posts, he is an idiot. I can't believe he still praises Borgetti for being the official waterboy at Bolton.

Karimi is 100 times better than Borgetti and yes there's no comparison between Bolton and Bayern, Borgetti in Bayern wouldn't even be the waterboy, he'd be the janitor or suspender-boy.

[caruiz93]

he was a starter before he got injured and you compare bolton with bayern, unbeleivable!

fine i wont compare bolton with bayern but ill go with barcelona.rafael marquez is a starter there.now ytou cant compare bayern with barcelona.

[kriot]

Borgetti is good. But he doesnt start for Bolton so obviously he's not good enough. I think he'll have a good showing here tho regardless. I've only seen a few of Karimi's goals and he's no slouch. We'll have our hands full. I'm going to say he's better than Borgetti since he can create his own goals where Borgetti is more of a poacher.

[MexicanAmerican]

Good for you, listen, a lot of the stuff posted here is just ppl breaking other ppl's balls, that's it, and u know soccer it's like that.
Anyhow I'm American, so I pull for the US. My father is from Peru, and mom is from Spain but we really don't pull for Spain that much cuz it's my it's mom's team not dad's and mom doesn't care about soccer.

I like Argentina too since growing up I had many friends from there, I'd say my favorites are the US, of course, and Argentina. I think though Italy is going to win and Spain is going far this time.


I'll make sure to keep in mind that there is nothing but ball busting going on here. It was a shock to come on this site and see this though. I am aware now.

Damn, I have a major fever now because we so damn close to the cup.

[ricoo9]

fine i wont compare bolton with bayern but ill go with barcelona.rafael marquez is a starter there.now ytou cant compare bayern with barcelona.

and what does that prove? that u have ONE defender that is worth something? oh wait.... I meant to say ONE PLAYER that is worth something.:lol:

We have a few players that are fairly decent and will perform well.

Can you be more specific? You make blanket statements/generalizations about Mexican people rather than the team itself. What exactly is your point?

Any mindless monkey can talk shit but you gotta get the point already.

IMO, Bravo is fairly decent. lacks some size but against Iran and Portugal he should be OK. Kikin should also be good. Guardado and of course Oswaldo should shine.

I wish Suarez was left off the team but oh well.

[kriot]

LOL! It's like talking to a brick wall. Lemme guess, not too many people like or respect you huh???

Obviously we've all read your complaining and whining and bitching and moaning (to no end i might add) about how Rafa is our only good player but ASIDE from that are you getting at anything else??? Cuz if not, then you've made your point.

:evil:

If you dont like Mexican people (I'm judging this from your other posts) than just come out and say instead of bieng a bitch and crying about everything like a girl on her first rag.

Kriot and ricoo, u are both warned 30%. No cursing and insulting. Ricoo u have a 60% warning bar, if i were u i would try to stay clear of more cursing or it could lead to a 1 week ban

who do u go 4 ricoo9???????????????????

[kriot]

You're one to talk about ignorance, I havent read a smart thing from you since I hopped on this thing.

I'm not pissed about what you say about the Mexican team I'm pissed about how you potray the people and the lack of respect you have. I keep telling you exactly what I'm pissed about and you're too stupid to understand. One thing is busting balls but its another to bring it to the level you do. I dont like what you're saying and I'm telling you.

Get it???????

About the Mexican team. You and I both know Mexico will never win a WC. But we all still are fans and support it. You seem to find fault with that and I'm calling it straight! Do you only support winning teams? Does your loyalty switch to the flavor of the month?

BTW, I answer your questions and you still havent answered mine.

What exactly dont you like about the Mexican team? (aside from, "they suck", "they're all from argentina" or whatever)
Do you have another point aside from "Rafa is our only good player?"



Mod, do what you gotta do. I'd much rather talk about the upcoming match than constantly read ricoo9's cracked out opinion.

[3ALAN3]

Hay Kriot Never Say Never, That Mexico Will Never Win The Wc,

[kriot]

Well, maybe I'm speaking too soon. hehehe.

there was an interesting article today (cant remember the paper) where they interview one of the Ex-Coaches of Brazil's NT where they're worried about all the exportation of their best young players. A lot of these kids will end up playing for other NTeams.

I hope Mexico will one day win the WC. I'm just not holding my breath.

[caruiz93]

I'm not here to be liked or disliked, I'm just here to talk some football. Now if u dont like some comments that I make about sorry ass mexico then u can stick it up ur ass. U must be pissed off cuz the stuff I say about mexico is true. Anyway dont let anything we say here go to heart, most of us r just busting balls. Either way, have u read cacaruiz posts? I'm not just gonna let ignorance like that fly by.:sick:


your here to talk about footbal?all you talk about is shit.and who cares if we only have two mexican players in europe,look at salcido,bravo,sanchez,fonseca they all have offers from european clubs still to be resolved after the world cup.

[3ALAN3]

Yeah I Read Something Today That Said That Out 0f The 6 Players From Chivas 3 Of Them Are Going To A European Team I Think Its Going To Be Sanchez, Salcido, Bravo, And Maybe Other Player Are Going To Get Offers After The Wc

I dont think i deserved the warn, after all i wasnt the one that started the insults. I think its a normal reaction to try to defend urself if ur being attacked, but anyhow, I apologize for any offensive remarks i might of said and I will delete the post.

[caruiz93]

yeah, how far do u think mexico is going to get????????????


i think they will get past the first round with not too much worries.after that it will be a really tough game,this will decide it all,if they get through this game i think semi finals.because i looked at the bracket and it is possible they will germany and germany is weakened so im pretty sure they can beat germany.but it will all depend on the second round.

Yes, Everybody has hopes on their team making far in the wc. Who doesnt? I know u r new, so obviously u dont see the dumb things ur fellow country mates write on a constant basis. If u look around u will see threads with the names "Mexico the powerhouse" "Mexico the next wc champs" and many mexicans diminishing the Libertadores cup, claiming to be better than/or at the same level of Argentina, not to mention very insulting posts (which was the reason I first got warned, because I'm not a robot and tried to defend myself). Basically what I dislike about ur team (and only ur team, not ur actual country) is all the arrogance that these mexicans talk with, without ever having won anything. Not even Brazilians talk crap, From what I have seen dinho is very humble and respectful towards other teams, we have put many examples here before of mexicans posting absurdities, so I sometimes feel obliged to put them in their place. At the end, everyone has a right to their opinions and a right to debate about it. Thats the way I see it, If there is no debating and everyone is a robot then there would be no point in posting on this forum. But I agree, lets keep it clean and lets continue to talk football. ;)

[bernardo8]

Damm it, i just heard on the news that Oswaldo’s dad just died this afternoon in Guadalajara. He was only like 50 years old!!! President of FMF said that they would support oswaldo in any decision he makes. Why did this have to happen so close to the WC?!?!?!?! Lets hope it doesn’t affect the team importantly. And I mean in any decision he takes. If he stays well I just hope this doesn’t keep him from concentrating, and if he goes to guadalajra, lets hope ochoa or corona do a great job,and don’t disappoint us.

i trust ochoa more than corona.i think ochoa is a bit better than sanchez but sanchez has the leadership and experience lavolpe wants.but if sanchez goes back to mexico it would be a great opportunity for ochoa he would be given a great task to complee and alot of clubs would get to see him play.but it is very sad his father died.

[Sam I Am]

Mexico should win this with Iran having some key injuries at this time. Could be a tough cup for Iran.

[bernardo8]

yes very sad indeed, on another news note, it said that fmf is already trying to get a plane for oswaldo, it didnt confirm if oswaldo is staying in germany or not, but he most probably will return to guadalajara, it kind of made u think that after reading what alberto de la torre said. he said that they dont know if oswaldo would be returning to germany after being with his family.

ne ways i agree with u ochoa is better than corona and it would be a great oportunity for him to show off

[caruiz93]

go to the mexican soccer thread thing and it has an article about his father.it said oswaldo is goignt o mexico and then coming back to germany,im not sure if he is playing or not.

[juanca]

i think we should prepare to NOT see oswaldo in the 1st game vs iran.

he needs to be with his family. however, they also need to decide whats best for him. who knows, perhaps he'll stay and play more motivated sayings its what his father wouldve wanted, who knows.....

anyway, he has my full support

[bernardo8]

yeah, he should now just be with his family and after having all his thoughts set decide to go back to germany, the team needs him, not just for his quality but hes kind of like the leaders in the team along with rafa and borgetti, pavel maybe too

[3ALAN3]

damn thats ***king sad, i hope he playes but to i think MEMO would do a great job and i think he is way better then corona. and i read that CISSE (FRANCE) FWD is goind to lose the wc he messed up his right leg. he was playing a game aginst china . i knw is of subject.

[Saraj Fanatico]

Wait what if Iran and Mexic are the ones that qualify and Portogal is out? That sure would be a supprise!

[handofgod]

Wait what if Iran and Mexic are the ones that qualify and Portogal is out? That sure would be a supprise!

Well, Portugal may not qualify but then I'd say Iran and Angola would pass instead.

[3ALAN3]

i dont think so its hard

[3ALAN3]

hahaha y not mexico so u think angola is better then mexico u just leave mexico out all the ***kin time

[persian power]

breaking news guys, Sanches father has just died from heart attack, his status not clear for the world cup. please don't show any joy where ever you are from. rest in peace for his father. i hope he can still play, although i don't blame him if he doesn't.

[el chingon]

i think oswaldo is probably going miss the mexico vs iran game.....but im positive oswaldo would come back to germany for the other 2 games, i dont think he'll give up that easily

[handofgod]

hahaha y not mexico so u think angola is better then mexico u just leave mexico out all the ***kin time

I know, I know, just busting balls dude.

[I.luv_Barcelona]

Well Mexico has to win

[kriot]

The game just got even more interesting.

[3ALAN3]

it has, i would like to see memo on the line up insted of corona,

[caruiz93]

memo could be the next buffon or chehc.not overhyping him,seriously he is only 19 or 20 years old and his saves are amazing even if the mexican leage isnt worl class leagu still i dont see keepers like buffon doing some of the saves he does.

[seriusmofen]

As much as I would want to see Iran a winner, my heart tells me this game will end in a draw and by god's will both Iran and Mexico qualify for second round. Though we are very far apart geografically we enjoy a rich culture very much alike. Surprised?

Mexico 2 - Iran 1

mexico 2 iran 1

[Antagonist]

i have a lot of doubt on mexico's offensive performance, and i'm still pist because they didn't take blanco. i will just support mexico past the group phase and that's it. i will root for germany after that.

my prediction for the mexico vs iran game is a 2-2 tie

[Antagonist]

i also hope USA goes down.

[Saraj Fanatico]

Well, Portugal may not qualify but then I'd say Iran and Angola would pass instead.

Antagonist.

Blanco would be ineffective at the WC. I think its the one good move Lavolpe made.

Tell me, how many goals did Blanco make this last season?

I do think Blanco (in times past) generates some good plays as well as generates his own goals which is something we usually lack. But Blanco this last year has been hurt and has been off his game. There is no reason for him to be on the team at this point in time.

[princessgaz]

Iran will beat Mexico

[garygiam]

mex win

[DM0809]

Mexico Will Win Tomorrow, Not Sure About Winning The World Cup Though.

[auger22]

Iran will gut this game out.
Mexico look to be surprised.:sad:

[caruiz93]

nexico has more experience,in the world cup and aginst bigger teams.mexico has been getting used to play bvig teams so i doint think iran will be a problem.

[Antagonist]

The game will be a tie. If not, Iran will give Mexico an embarassing defeat.
Although, Mexico can still make it pass the group.
When Mexico's done with the group phase, I will root for Germany.

F**k handofdog

[amerikanz]

Mexico & Portugal will advance -

[lopez7]

mexico will win... and both, Iran and mexico will pass to the second round..

[kriot]

My prediction is....


No matter who wins there will be lots of bitching and moaning.

[handofgod]

The game will be a tie. If not, Iran will give Mexico an embarassing defeat.

When Mexico's done with the group phase, I will root for Germany.

F**k handofdog

Dude you are sad, even though I dislike Mexico's soccer for you not to pull for your country is pathetic, and even worse to say you will pull Germany then??!!!

I think Mexico is overhyped but I definitely understand their fan support.

You are caca.

[aren]

Almost all of my family is from Iran (I was born in Germany), I'm Armenian (they speak Armenian and Persian in Iran, I can only speak Armenian, but the adults in my family can speak both) I picked Iran to win (money on the line), so I'm rooting for Iran to win. I'm thinking Iran will win 1-0 or 2-1.

[Mazloumi]

Iran versus Mexico

Sam Fakhimi

Nuremberg, Iran’s national team has concluded its preparation for Sunday’s group D test against COCACAF power Mexico. Both sides have suffered recent setbacks with the passing of the father of Mexico’s keeper Oswaldo Sanchez and an injury to influential Iranian midfielder Fereydoon Zandi .

Team Melli has received encouraging news with coach Branko Ivankovic proclaiming the fitness of stars Ali Karimi and Mehdi Mahdavikia. With the return of the Bundesliga based midfielders, Iran’s lineup is now at relative full strength.

Mexico will field its full A-team lineup with the expected return of Sanchez who is set to join his national side Saturday evening. Mexico’s captain Rafael Marquez has issued a statement of support to the Sanchez family and a fully inspired Mexican side is to be expected.

Other stories of interest for this match includes the battle of veterans. Mexico’s Claudio Suarez and Iran’s captain Ali Daei are two of the oldest participants in World Cup 2006. Each is 37 years of age with Daei winning 147 caps for Team Melli, while Suarez has 178 caps for the Mexican side.

The two sides have met once in a friendly played in the United State in 2000 with Mexico winning 2-1. Both Ali Daei and Mehdi Mahdavikia participated in that match.

Ivankovic has yet to indicate his starting 11. The lone question seems to be the choice to replace Zandi in the midfield. The two leading candidates are youngsters Andranik Teymoorian and left footed Mehrzad Madanchi. Expect Iran to return to Ivankovic’s preferred 4-2-3-1 with Zandi’s position being filled by a defensive midfielder likely to be Teymoorian.

Iran’s Probable Starting Lineup: Mirzapour, Kaebi, Golmohammadi, Rezaei, Nosrati, Nekounam, Mahadavikia, Karimi, Teymoorian, Hashemian, and Daei

[caruiz93]

we'll see.

[caruiz93]

i rans goal was a fluke

[Dutchfan]

Good match between the two!! Even my wife, who doesn't follow soccer particularly closely, figured that this would be a pretty even matchup, and so it is, at least at the half. It's a good one!! Too bad there aren't MORE matches like this one at the World Cup - entertaining!! 1 - 1 at the half. I look forward very much to the second half!

[kriot]

That goal was not fluke, it was like the 5th or 6th corner kick for Iran, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Our defence is not where it should be. 2nd half will be good.

[Marko Perkovic]

i rans goal was a fluke

ppppfffffffffff!!!! and what exactly was mexico's goal?!?!?!

[Cro_Sensation]

Good job Iran.

I agree, very strong, fast action going on. Much better than the Holland game. I expect more goals though!

[Fenerliyim]

2nd half has started

[Traveldude50]

Goal Mexico, wat a stupid series of mistakes by Iran to lead to the goal.

[damas64]

Nice second goal Mexico, Omar did great! Took advantage of a major IRan mistake.
Now Iran needs to neutralize

[damas64]

Very disapointing show by Iran allowing a team like Mexico beat them. Sad day indeed!

[aren]

The Iran/Mexico game was a good game until Iran started screwing up.

I placed a $10 bet that Germany, England, Argentina, Iran, Portugal, Italy, and Brazil would win. Looks like I'm going to get all of them right except Iran. I would've won $489.20 if I got them all right.

[caruiz93]

mexicvo is winning 3-1.mexico!mexico!mexico!mexico!mexico!

mexico!mexico!mexico!

[damas64]

Its hard to play well when the entire stadium is cheering against you because of your religious preference.
Oh well, 2nd victory ever for Mexico in Europe against a non motivated team. I would hardly call this a "Victory", let see how they do against the rest of the group.

[maxpower]

and here come the excuses....

[damas64]

They are not execuses, those are real factors, I doubt Mexico would have won if this game was somewhere in the middle east or Iran.
Oh well time for USA to win tomorrow, I would love to see the USA crush Mexico again like they did the last world cup.

[Fenerliyim]

2nd half was a real bore. Nothing reall happened till the end of the match. Mexico deserved this victory much more. They were attacking non stop. Iran barely had any attacks. The mess up by the iranian goalie just opened up the game for mexico. The 3rd mexican goal was a really nice one but the goalie should have been able to stop that.

[Whirlpool]

i was impressed with mexicos ball control in the 2nd half. they looked like crap in the first. now, if they beat angola (probably should) they're through to the next round... but they'll probably lose whether they face argentina or holland, wont matter. good start to their WC tho

[Dutchfan]

Good match!! That's the kind of match that I would have a non-soccer-loving American watch if I was trying to get him (or her) to enjoy soccer!! I thought that Iran was stout in defense, but that (like Italy has so many times in the past) it tried to defend TOO much in the second half, without attacking, and it cost them. Good job by México!! On to Angola vs. Portugal! Should be interesting!

[kriot]

They are not execuses, those are real factors, I doubt Mexico would have won if this game was somewhere in the middle east or Iran.

You are a true work of art.

Mexico would not have won, if it was in a Muslim country, fielded by a team of 10 foot Brazilians, with smaller goals and a 300 meter pitch, and a...

Get over yourselves.

It was a good game, Mexico deserved it. Iran had a good first half but something happened in the halftime to screw them up mentally.

Face it, in any game the best team wins and Mexico was the better team.

LOL IRAN WILL WIN FOR SURE MAN, they have Ali Dai Top player in whole Asia plus Ali Karimi a top player who won asian cup in 2004. Mexico has what good player?. In fact Germany wanted Ali Karimi to play for 3 major world cup games and offered him 2 million dollars. You all are just sayin mexico mexico cuz you have no background info of Iran. Just watch the game on sunday June 11th 11:30am ET on Sports Rogers.

Iran will be first on group D, they're so ready for this.

you persians make me LAUGH!!! LOL 3-1 MEXICO!! VIVA MEXICO!!

"best player in asia" yeah okay... according to iranians only maybe. this was the same team that lost to korea 3-1 HAHAHAHAHAHAAHA

[Maxpayne]

The match was awful.... Me and my brother were watching it and we had to turn on the other channel. 1-st half was alright, but 2-nd is so damn boring. Iran sits on defence all period and mexicans don't have enough skill to overbeat them. I saw 2-nd and 3-d goal. I gotta say if they wouldn't scored 2-nd, there wouldn't be a 3-d one. Iran got depressed after 2-nd goal and that followed by weak defence that maked it 3:1

[bboy treble]

not trying to start nothing but

goal 1 assisted by franco (from argentina)

goal 2 assisted by zinha (from brazil)

goal 3 scored by zinha (brazil)

i still knew mexico would win

[bernardo8]

best player of the match??? id have to say rafa marquez or omar bravo. i mean 2 goals and at the end of the game they showed like statistics of passes by rafa marquez 57 correct passes while only 13 wrong

ne ways in my opinion.

1st goal. it showed that mexico has practiced their set plays
2nd goal. (iran) mexico still weak defensively on set plays
3rd goal. nice pressure from kikin to make the goalie give out the ball and a mistake by the defender followed by a great pass from zinha. it started when the goalie made that bad pass.
4th goal. 3 minutes from the other goal, so iran was down emotionally, great cross by mario mendez and a great header from zinha

im worried about what happened to borgetti, hopefuly nothing serious

[Traveldude50]

all that matters is theyre citizens of the country, i dont get the excuse they were born in another country

[ZabbaZibba]

I'm glad Mexico won. Because if they would of lost, the 1st thing they would have blamed their Coach Lavolpe (Arg.)

I honestly think they can win their group. AguanteMexico/T&T/Equador/Brazil/Paraguay/C.Rica/U.S.A/Italia & ARGENTINA

[caruiz93]

exactly i mean they are from another country but the spent their entire football lives in mexico.its like if you go to england to play football profesionally for the first time in your lives and england national team wants you i mean your still not from england but your football is.

take usa off that list plz.they talk shit about mexico for no reason too much.

[Maple-Greek]

As I said in another thread, Iran has a long way to go before they can compete at this level.

Mexico outplayed them in every way. They deserved the win. They were fast, strong, dominated possession, strong defensively, created good scoring chances, and finished those chances.

It was a good game to watch.

[kmu]

yeah they did the right things to win, nothing amazing, but convincent, now let's win angola to make sure the qualifitacion to the next round.

[damas64]

2nd half was a real bore. Nothing reall happened till the end of the match. Mexico deserved this victory much more. They were attacking non stop. Iran barely had any attacks. The mess up by the iranian goalie just opened up the game for mexico. The 3rd mexican goal was a really nice one but the goalie should have been able to stop that.
Yes the Mexico goals were good but come on, Germany forbid thousands of Iranian fans from coming to support their team. It is hard on a team when there is no one cheering for them, and most of the crowd is cheering against them because they are Muslims. It sucks and its a moral killer, I do not feel the game was on fair grounds.

[damas64]

You are a true work of art.

Mexico would not have won, if it was in a Muslim country, fielded by a team of 10 foot Brazilians, with smaller goals and a 300 meter pitch, and a...

Get over yourselves.

It was a good game, Mexico deserved it. Iran had a good first half but something happened in the halftime to screw them up mentally.

Face it, in any game the best team wins and Mexico was the better team.
Yes not having one f*cking fan in the stands and feeling totaly isolated and the world's enemy due to no fault of your own, can seriously screw with your head. I am not an Iranian nor am I related to any Iranians, I am simply commenting on what I saw.
The Iranians had no chance thanks to the German goverment.

[Wey]

MEXICO WON 3 -1
Many people desestimate mexico with racist and ignorant opinions.
This forum its only for sports, and MEXICO WON.

[Kaysa]

Good match!! That's the kind of match that I would have a non-soccer-loving American watch if I was trying to get him (or her) to enjoy soccer!! I thought that Iran was stout in defense, but that (like Italy has so many times in the past) it tried to defend TOO much in the second half, without attacking, and it cost them. Good job by México!! On to Angola vs. Portugal! Should be interesting!

You've got to be kidding me right? That's the kind of match you wouldn't want to show a non-soccer-loving American. I'd know, I had some over and they fell asleep when the beer ran out.

[caruiz93]

it was a good match it was entertaining.alot of chances for both sides in the first half.irans goal was something of a fluke.the ball was just stopped in the middle and the goalie was down on the grass.mexico could have won 3-0.and to the person that says that they lost cause there was no iranian fans,who cares how many fans there was mexico was playing on "home" ground(or at least where they are stationed in germany,it was obvious there would be more mexican fans.ohh and the games are played on the pitch not the seats.

[Kaysa]

I felt bad that the Iranians were booed when they entered the arena.

[Whirlpool]

I felt bad that the Iranians were booed when they entered the arena.

iranians and mexicans walk in together

iranians and mexicans walk in together


yeah but there was like 89% mexican fans so i dont think you would be able to here an iranian chant.it was iran who got booed.mexico!3-1

Thats a horrible and baseless excuse! With your quote you are devaluating the Iranian team.

Have you ever been to Europe?????

Trust me there are loads of Iranians and Muslims there already that I'm sure could have gone and supported their team.

These guys play professional football and they should be able to overcome lack of support.

The fact is Mexico played with more skill, capitalized on the mistakes that were made and won the game. That is how games are won.

:evil:

[bernardo8]

i just knew this was gonna happen, if mexico won many were going to try and find excuses. admit it mexico were better out there and deserved the win

From what I saw in the first half, Iran completely outclassed and outplayed Mexico. U guys were lucky Iran didnt score 3 in the first half. I didnt get to watch the 2nd half but From what I read U guys needed to bring in ur Brazilian player in order to get out of that 1-1 tie. BTW Mexicos 2nd Goal was also a fluke.

[ricoo9]

not trying to start nothing but

goal 1 assisted by franco (from argentina)

Yes, very good points.

hahahha see what i mean, i betcha he watched the whole game but just wont admit that mexico totally outclassed iran there. hahahha i dont get it it seems as if something would happen to them if mexico wins.

hahahha BTW, where was karimi?? i had just known him from videos and summarys of games, but it clearly showed how many of u overhyped him and overrated him

[bernardo8]

ahahaa if mexico wouldve lost. i can only imagine how ricoo and company would spend a whole day bashing saying that mexico sucks and saying were stupid to have said mexico was going to win. there were iranians who even said they were going to win 3 0, but is anybody making a big deal?? hmm i guess not

[unam_mx]

1st goal-Who gave the pass from the set piece?Pardo a Mexican.Who finished it off?Bravo a Mexican.Sure Franco played a part in the play but it wasnt like it was a genious play on his part, he simply prolonged the pass.If u are going to give a foreigner credit on this play give it to Lavolpe, he practices set plays to death.

2nd goal-Who initially stole the ball and headed it to Sinha?Bravo a Mexican.Who finished the play off?Bravo a Mexican.Good pass from Sinha I agree but Bravo made 2/3rds of the play.

3rd goal-Who crossed it?Mendez a Mexican.Sinha finished it but Kikin was their anyways.

Now Im not trying to discredit the naturalized players, Ive come to accept them as part of our team...but they were by no means the difference.Franco was crap and although Sinha did play well he was not our best player.Marquez and Bravo were by far our two best players.We win this game with or without naturalized players, just like Mexico is a good team with or without them.

And whatever, keep on crying and doing everything in ur power to discredit Mexico...in the end none of ur moaning will change the fact that we won and were the better team.I mean u talk about us playing like pussies u shouldve seen that second half and how Iran played ( u probably did but hate Mexico too much to admit it and give them credit).

[weirdboy]

Umm....I am not trying to bash mexico, but its not really fair to say that the iranian goal was a fluke. Because if you look closely you can also claim that the first two mexican goals were also flukes. (the third goal was setup really well!). Its the number of goals that count, not the number of flukes or close goals.
And Even though politics played a role in the downfall of the iranian team, if they were truly a world cup team than they should have been able to overcome mexico regardless.

[el chingon]

They are not execuses, those are real factors, I doubt Mexico would have won if this game was somewhere in the middle east or Iran.
Oh well time for USA to win tomorrow, I would love to see the USA crush Mexico again like they did the last world cup.
if the game was in iran mexican will still fill up the stadium

and in the second half iran was lucky mexico didnt score 5 goals.

[Dutchfan]

You've got to be kidding me right? That's the kind of match you wouldn't want to show a non-soccer-loving American. I'd know, I had some over and they fell asleep when the beer ran out.Oh, I suppose you'd rather show them England - Paraguay or Sverige - TnT?? Yeah, that'll REALLY get 'em to sit up and take notice!! NOT!!!

[Kyle4000]

i have to agree .brazil and argentina did a good job beating Iran today .good effort lads

[bernardo8]

another hater hahahahha ghana did a good job in the opening game against costa rica, oh also i dont get it why brazil didnt play in the game vs angola

deco or asamoah ring any bells to u?? to name just a few among a whole lot

[Dutchfan]

Kyle's just sore because his average team didn't make it to the tournament. Though why he should expect a team that's really no better than Germany's to make it is beyond me.

[mexico2006champ]

Ignorance is the shelter of the clumsy !

Zinha was born in Mexico, his father is Brazilian in fact - but irrelevant to the argument. The other guy was born in Argentina but has lived in Mexico for years, again irrelevant to the argument. Almost any player from Argentina has European roots, just check their last names (Colochini, Zanetti, Batistuta) - Try better arguments to scorn a good (and I say good, not excellent) performance by Mexico.




i have to agree .brazil and argentina did a good job beating Iran today .good effort lads

[I.luv_Barcelona]

I liked the second half better hopefully Mexico can improve though...the players from Angola r fast.....Go Mexico

[lopez7]

i have to agree .brazil and argentina did a good job beating Iran today .good effort lads

he is single envies!!! mexico win.. you have to accepted, i am happy, and if you hate mexico , it is not my problem..

[Rab.C.Nesbitt]

Mexico deserved the win hands down.

Hey IGNORANCE is clumsy, how about that? http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/w/player/218252_ZINHA.html

"Antonio Naelson Matiasar was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil but is now a naturalised Mexican citizen and plays his football under the name Zinha."

And yes, Most Argentines have Italian roots, thats why i think its alright for camoranesi to play for them, after all his father is italian but Zinha and Franco r 100% brazilian and Argentine, there is no reason for them to play there other than the fact that mexico lacks talent.

[MADRIDCF8]

yea i agree with u ricoo, HOWEVER, thats how people are playing, look at japan, they have a brazilian, germany with asamoah france with thuram (antilles) and i makelele (zaire), spain with senna... so on and so on. it happens all overthe world, what so mexico cant do the same:rolleyes:

[Bigpappys_gun]

It's a classy thing what the Iranian team did for Sanchez, I respect them.

[Toke-E-Yo]

It's a classy thing what the Iranian team did for Sanchez, I respect them.


I agree, this really impressed me. Great sportsmanship by both teams, this is what the World Cup is all about. Respect for the opposition.

[bernardo8]

yes, very respectful what they did, and after the game they showed images of them. they took the loss with maturity. great fair play there except for that incident with the iranian player got the yellow card for kicking the ball away from the mexican player. but overall excellent.

[masterdimasters]

I know, may be taking this shit too serioulsy myself, ***k it and let the teams do the talk.


JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA

WHO WINS?

JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA

3-1... DID YOU LIKE IT?

JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA

GOOD ENOUGH?

It's a classy thing what the Iranian team did for Sanchez, I respect them.

I agree, too bad the classless Mexican fans began chanting "ole, ole" from the beggining, I mean WTF!!!!! You only chant that when you are up 5-0 or somehting like that.

The only Mexican person I good for their win si Sanchez b/c of the obvious and cuz it takes guts to go out there and play.

[handofgod]

JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA

JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA

KISSES

Lol

Why are you so happy with this result??!!! OMG you ppl are even worst than I thought. The #4 team in the planet ;) beat Iran with a mega dose of luck.

That second goal was garbish, and very late in the game, the match was destined to end in a tie but it didn't thanks to the ultra moron Iranian coach who abandoned the first half scheme where they outplayed Mexico. He even pulled Karimi!! I mean WTF was he smoking, you guys probably bribed him with a lifetime supply of nachos or something.

BTW Mexico's first goal was shit too, do you really think you guys are gonna score such crap against a semi-decent defense: No way.

The ref sucked big time, terrible calls against both sides. Terrible cup so far unfortunately after a very auspicious first day.

Best so far: Argentina
Close second: Germany, England, Ivory Coast, Holland

[kmu]

argentina should'd have lost, ivory coast missed badly!!

well in that case germany has several non germany born players:

podolsky
klose (both polands)
assamoah

and also french players even zidane altough he was born in france he has a 100% argelian heritage.

that's an old subject and are only used by envy people who are jelous.

franco and zinha weren't a international material in their countries of birth, and they learned a lot in mexico and made their life down there.

franco has two mexican dauhgters born in monterrey
and zinha has a mexican wife.

[bernardo8]

dude, this is typical handjob u are looking at. he will never change. hahahahah now he says we are fourth in the world. not even we say that. mexico won by luck, yea right. hahaha bad calls, yea specially the PK that the ref didnt call on a foul to rafa marquez.

if someone in this tournament has won a game and another team probably deserved it more it was argentina. and most people will agree with me. the game shouldve been a tie. also if u are going to talk about luck. luck was irans goal. lucky that after oswaldo saved a header half a meter away from him the ball ended up at the iranians player feet. what other clear chance did the iranian team have besides the header in like the fifth minute with an awesome save by oswaldo?? NONE

hahahha now an excuse is a late goal. since when is a late goal bad???besides he makes it look as if the last two goals were like in 89' and 90' +2 or something like that. fact: 76' 79'. even the iranian coach said that mexico was better that day on the field.

before the game, he said that iran had a good level but now they are lousy. am i the only one seeing contradictions here?

[bernardo8]

if we beat angola it is going to be because angola is the worst team in the world. if we beat portugal it is going to be because there were 11 players from each team, or because the boots borgetti uses are nike, or maybe because the ball was too round and the goals were too big and zinha was too small and maza very tall . i just cant wait to see their comments on mexicos games hahahhahahha

[ZabbaZibba]

Everybody stop the hate, they won fair & square exuses just make you look dumb.They still got 2 more games before the next round.If anything,I would trash Portugal/Sweeden/England/Netherlands for the poor performances.
''AguanteLatinoAmerica q sos lo mas grande.''

[unam_mx]

And yes, Most Argentines have Italian roots, thats why i think its alright for camoranesi to play for them, after all his father is italian but Zinha and Franco r 100% brazilian and Argentine, there is no reason for them to play there other than the fact that mexico lacks talent.

Not sure but I think his father has Italian roots, and he himself wasnt born in Italy...I maybe wrong but that's what I heard and I'm to lazy to look it up.Anyways there really isnt much difference with Camoranesi playing for Italy and having naturalized players, he grew up in Argentina and started playing professionally there, then played in Mexico and finally went on to play in Europe.Basically 20+ yrs were away from Italy and his last 5 or so were in Italy.Aside from that he himself has said that he is 100% Argentinian and that he is only doing it for football reasons.OK, so his grandma or something maybe Italian...well El Guille and Sinha have Mexican wives and daughters.They have direct Mexican family as well, and atleast they consider themselves Mexican unlike Camoranesi who doesnt consider himself Italian.It's really not all that different, just like these countries (ex. France) use players from colonies/territories as their own.That's BS and no different then using naturalized players, those African players live in completely different cultures and probably feel as French as u or me.It's like if the USA used someone from Puerto Rico or something, the USA owns it or whatever but that doesnt make that dude American.

Anyways, there are over 40 naturalized players in this World Cup...ur telling me that everybody else can do it but Mexico cant?***k off and quit being a hater.

uggh, we have already discussed this many times. Many of those players, for example asamoah and podolski have been living in germany since they were kids, so why not represent the country were they have been raised in? The others like trezeguet and camorenasi have direct ancestors from those european countries. Like I said before, my father is italian and I was born here in the US but if I had a chance to represent Italy I would defenitly feel obliged to do so. Never forget ur roots and culture and be proud of where ur ancestors came from. Now back to topic, do u see a pattern? Either the players have been raised in those countries or they have their blood. The only countries I see doing it for no other reason then that they suck is Japan, Tunisia ( I think) and of course Mexico, I'm sure there are other sorry teams that r doing this as well but i cant think of any right now. Only a country with no soccer history and NO TALENT would get argentines and brazilians that have no ties to that country whatsoever. :boo:

[skillmatik]

:lol: ricco suave relax tomalo suave chico .u just bitter from the abuse that mexico scorned. hey hand of god is m.i.a? weres all that talk u both was bragging about concacrap u mean concacracked cause sweden iran are bitter and pablo wanchobe and omar bravo are at the top of the scoring list.LMAO LMAO jajajajajajaja,oH YEAH franco and zinha put the passes but if it wasnt for bravo is it would been useless.HATERS MIGHT USE THOUSANDS OF EXCUSES BUT THE ONLY EXCUSE IS THEM BEING BORN RETARD.:lol: :lol:

Ok if u grow up there its cool, but if u make a name for uself in soccer in that country...and if u meet ur wife and have ur kids there its not?Look I was born in Mexico, Ive been living in the USA since I was 8.Say I went to another country and met my wife and had my kids there, personally I would feel more inclined to represent that country more than the USA.Why?Because I have direct family memebers from there not from the USA.Honestly I would want to represent Mexico but if I couldnt I would go with the country that gave me my wife and kids over the country where I grew up, because u feel like ur representing ur family that way.That's basically in the istuation that Guille and Sinha are in.Im sure they would rather play with Brasil or Argentina (just like Deco and Camoranesi) but if u cant why not represent the country of ur wives and kids?They may not be from there but their loved ones are.

Personally I see it all the same...these national teams using players who have anscestors, using players from colonies/territories, etc. its all the same thing really.Bottom line is they arent born in that country.

Also what about Deco?Are u going to tell me that he may have Portuguese decent because at one point in time they owned Brasil?Then I guess if I looked far back enough I will likely find some Spanish anscestor, would that make it OK for me to play for Spain? :rolleyes:
