Looks like Sardar Azmoun treated himself to Mcdonalds with fellow striker Mullin after the victory last night against Volga!

Nope, no international cap yet. But it certainly will be hard for CQ to keep ignoring him if he continues playing like this (he was very impressive for Rubin before the mid-season break also). I am very impressed by him, he is playing in a demanding league, in terms of physicality and weather conditions etc. He looks better then most strikers we have in Iran, let alone strikers his own age. He should have been given a chance against Kuwait instead of a 30 year old Reza Norouzi, but don't worry, its only a matter of time before he gets his chance for Team Melli.
^^But as I've understood, the reason he wasn't even selected to either game (Kuwait, Guinea) was because he had a minor injury or something... he should definitely be in the roster! That goes to Ezzatollahi as well. If not among the 18 players for the WC games, just the latter's presence there (or at the very least his presence in the training camps), will be a big boost for him, not the least a big experience.
He was ready to be invited if the IFF and Queiroz forced the matter, (he did have a slight injury) in which he recovered from. But Rubin Kazan medical staff advised against him travelling to Iran and playing in those friendlies in case he would aggravate it. So they reached an agreement that he would stay and continue his recovery in their training camp.
Its wayyyy to early for Ezatollahi to be considered for Team Melli Sly jan, even if its only to be a part of the training camps. He is only 17, and he should focus on establishing himself in the Malavan team first as a starter, (maybe decide to leave Iran and transfer to Europe and establish himself there) there is plenty of time for him to get into Team Melli. Brazil 2014 is way to early, maybe Asian Cup 2005 (as a wild card), or 2018 World Cup. He should even be focusing on being a part of the Iran squad heading to 2016 Olympics before he thinks about Team Melli.
He certainly has the talent and the mould to be the natural heir to Nekounam. But he needs to take it step by step, we can't just throw him into Team Melli. Hopefully he makes a move to Europe at the end of this season, i hope his move to Rubin Kazan materialises, would love to see him joining Azmoun in Russia.

^^True... he's still too young with a lot of time in front of him. But next year, he'll be the same age when Mahdavikia joined TM for the first time. and we can also talk about Kaebi who was 16 when he joined TM! There are always exceptional players who could join TM at early ages. I saw some of his games for a while ago, and he's really talented. Of course as you say, he can always join TM later and take it step by step (which is the best way). But the WC is not coming around every year. It's here now and I think if Rubin Kazan think he's talented enough to get him, it would be good to use this chance and let him join TM. At least for the training and the experience of the WC preparation (he doesn't need to play in the games).

Yes, he had a good game for his standard. He only received 1 goal and did 1 bad mistake! 
Poor guy had two SUPERB saves with another good reaction save and couldn't do anything on the goal. TERRIBLE positioning on the 1st 3 goals - TERRIBLE reaction time on the 4th. We're giving Davari a hard time for getting scored on one goal in the Bundesliga while Haghighi's getting scored on 4 times in Portuguese 2nd division and Ahmadi and Rahmati are getting owned by 3rd rate Asian players! :confused-
Dude, khoda nakoneh to bau yeki bad biofti! Poor guy had two SUPERB saves with another good reaction save and couldn't do anything on the goal.
