Well, we all watched TM yesterday, we all got happy for their fantastic performance, we all got sad for their elimination from the WC.
But not until today did I realize what a huge respect this team has gained among so many non-Iranians. From the random Swedish woman in the train talking in the phone about how she and her friends were watching Iran-Portugal last night and have finally gotten inspired to focus on the world cup despite their disinterest, to the Somali cab driver who would tell me what a fantastic team we have as soon as he realized I was Iranian. He was in awe to see Iran having such a strong team. and I'm not even mentioning my Swedish colleagues whom upon hearing my voice talking about irrelevant stuff at work, would leave their desks in the middle of their work just to come and tell me what a fantastic game they saw from Iran yesterday.
It's really amazing to see other people than us (rightfully biased people), showing such a respect and enthusiasm when it comes to TM!
CQ has truly done wonders with this team!!! Damesh vaghean garm!!!!! Dame hameye bachehaye TM ham garm!!!
