Capt'n Daei in Interview:

"It was because of the balls we weren't used to. We were always used to play with adidas ball, now all of a sudden we had NIKE balls..."

Nekounam is saying the same...

Ground wasn'T "Monaseb" either....

it was a Neo-conservatives/Zionist/Nike plan to change the balls at the last minute to confuse Iran! So Iran wouldn't win the game for the 22nd of Bahman!LOL!

Well Daie never dribbles so he shouldn't complain but Ali Karimi played weird he didn't make a single correct dribble. May be the ball really had some effect.

Ali jaan,
its mind games.
Bahrain could have been training with those Nike balls for weeks now,while we were only introduced to them last night during training.

It is possible,and big players do complain of changes in balls,we hear it during every Euro or World Cup.But Daei doesnt even use the ball,like someone said Karimi ya maybe.

if there was any inconsistency in size or weight of the ball then Mr. Daie, as the captian, should have let the officials know and inform Branco as well, to perhaps ask the fourth official overseeing the game, to do something about it. Why didn't Daie object to the ref.? instead using the microphone after the game!!!!


we sucked, no excuses!
