It feels kinda numb after the Iran game. Now that everything is over, I wish all the people associated with TM a good future.
However, this campign is a reminder of how far behind we Iranians are in so many fields, especially when it comes to proper management and long-term planning. You really cannot blame the inherent quality of the players. Its the broader issues that are retarding further success in our football, youth programs, proper planning and management at IFF, our league, and infrastructure. A player like Karimi should have been training the way we is at Bayern at a much younger age. We could get so much more from the talent we have if the general environment was more favorable in Iran.
I guess we can only have hope and faith. Hopefully Iran will be a better place in the next generation, and among other things, we can gain international leadership in culture, sports, and education.
