that own goal is hilarious

[persiafshin]

I have hardly seen an own goal that wasn't hilarious

[vdven]

so you laugh at your own team?

[persiafshin]

Doesn't matter if it's my team or yours, own goals are blunders and part of football that happen to even the best, I don't laugh at the team, its the incident I laugh at and I feel sorry for the player who made the blunder. Missing an empty goal and shooting wide is even funnier than scoring an own goal and we have seen the best strikers missing the empty net and shooting wide having beaten the keeper.

[persiafshin]

most own goals are. Initial mistake was made by the keeper who dropped the ball, but he was a very good goal keeper and had a good tournament in WC78. At one point in the 70s Mancherster United had an interest in Iran's Hejazi.

afshin what are you talking about Iran now scotaland is part of uk and you telling iranian we don't now where is scotland afshin. you are saying we are not educated people or what hell you saying. the game is cancelled simple is that move on and play with other teams in european national team. I rather iran play vs brazil

[persiafshin]

juventussourena, you should not take this personally, I stated facts, in Iran people refer to UK as ENGELESTAAN (i.e. England), the Scots themselves see themselves as Scottish rather than British, in any case Iran wanted to play Scotland not Britain, all this gives you the conclusion I gave the BBC that Iranian people don't see the Irish or Scots as the British Empire, Scotland has a different flag not the British flag, I doubt if Iranian fans would have seen Scotland as the British Empire.
