May I wake up please?!

Oh man! Can you believe Branko?! He is cracking me up! He is refusing to accept that our World Cup campaign was a wash.

He told reporters, “A win against Angola would mean our World Cup had been a success”!

This is turning into a Monty Python episode!

I am now convinced that this is all a bad dream and I am going to wake up and it is the day after we defeated Bahrain to qualify!!

What else can he say? I actually feel sorry for the man. I can’t begin to imagine what he’s put through behind the scenes. I think he’s done the best he can considering all the “party-bazi” he probably has to endure. My only gripe with him is I wish he had held off announcing his intention to leave until after the Cup. I thought that was in bad taste.

Let the fur fly…..

I told you this guy was useless. I watched Iran’s games, the players cause alot of fouls, but I guess it’s what you have to do when your coach is a blithering idiot and can’t direct you otherwise. He is not coaching in Croatia for a reason. I think Iran has defenite potential, just need the right coach to bring it out.
