Iran
We are out, good luck and farewell!
Well, Saudi Arabia and Korea DPR played a goalless draw in Riyadh. That means Korea DPR go through as the 2nd team from Group B and Saudi Arabia will try their luck in the play offs.
Folks, it has been a pleasure blogging here with you again. I started this before 2006 when Bob Kellett contacted me, and then I did it again when Daryl signed me up for the 2010 campaign. I thank them both for the opportunity. It has been fun.
Come visit me on my blog lastkick.com or its Persian language section lastkick.com/fa when you get a chance.
These are tense moments for Iran and this served as a healthy diversion at times.
I wish you all well in South Africa and I will see you there in spirit and as a fan!

A football fan’s dilemma
Considering the events of the last few days in Iran, it is hard for me to think about football. It seems anticlimactic and insensitive. Not surprisingly I have noticed considerable drop on number of hits on my football blogs from Iran.
Although I live thousands of miles away in North America, I ... [read]
Four more years of lousy football!
Okay boys and girls; prepare yourselves for another four years of Kaffashian, Taj, and crew’s lousy football management!

Why I like Coach Afshin Ghotbi
Since Afshin Ghotbi stepped into the limelight of Iranian football, he has been a topic of conversation within Iranian football circles around the world.
The opinions of him are of course very subjective. The old school football establishment in Iran sees him as a threat, but overwhelming majority of ... [read]
Team Melli fans, we live to fight another day!
The boys defeated UAE on a single goal scored by Ali Karimi. It was purely a brilliant individual effort. That is good for Karimi, but does not speak well for the team that struggled to create chances. And a few good ones that they did create were wasted. But, let’s not ... [read]
