Very keen for this, hopefully a nice attacking game with minimal theatrics.

Iran 3-0

Weather is perfect in Melbs, going to be a beauty. Should nudge 20k at the MRS.

Iran 1-0

Forza Iran

Get around this one.

Fair bit of political subtext to this one. Should be good.

keen to see that Rubin Kazan player Aloisi mentioned in the Round Table





must be decent.

Time to shine Bahrain!

Heading to the game now.

Exactly what I was thinking :evil:

Have fun palad.

There is a ridiculous amount of people here.

If my understanding of the tournament structure is correct, whoever finishes top of this group will play whoever finishes top in our group in the semi's (provided they both win of course). So we could most likely play Iran in the semis.

sounds like its packed great news !

Is big Mo Adnan in the Bahrain squad?

lel, Heart/City should have been bought by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad then they would finally get fans

Really nice crowd.

Davutovic on twitter says that there's a thousand outside buying tickets.

Place is fucking bouncing, Iran even got themselves capos of some sort hanging around category A

fantastic turnout and noise=d>

These fans are amazing.

the bloke in the orange with iranian leader on his back haha

It's much louder here than the Australia game, and had no idea Iranian chicks looked so good :lol:

very organized at the Australia game it was a free for all

louder than most victory games :lol:

And yeah persian chicks are mint

Great crowd, in quantity and quality, Iranian fans making a racket, and demand Iranian ladies! =p~

I'd be surprised if there was less than 17,500 here.

You're the 3rd person I've seen say that now, I had no idea either :lol:

Praying for some Cat A pyro.

poor start from Iran

Just goes to show the disconnect between Iranian society and the ruling regime.

What a save!

huh

Ridiculous booking.

Strange Victory offsides. Must be jlm's presence

Iranian people good. Mullah bad

Very much so.

I sense a Mexican wave...

I don't get how the game shows this bro, I don't get what you are trying to say :d

I knew, that's why I made sure to come to this one lol

And they don't let their chicks into the stadium over there! AAMI > Azadi!

Love the effort by Iran. Great tempo

Not enough "You're shit, arrrggghhhh!" in this one for me.

The Iranian #6 is a very good player.

Andy Harper agrees with you. "Graceful, wonderful, could watch him move all day".

WHAT A HIT SON

GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL IRAN!

Mate Ben Williams... why the disrespect. Bahrain aren't defending too well half hearted tackles and fouls then ask the Ref what they did wrong :-k

Great goal that was awesome !

wonderful goal

dat goal

Good hit

cracking goal

Iran supporters seem happy, geezus fuck me

goal of the tourny so far??

looks like bahrain were starting to gas out. possession growing for iran.

hopefully bahrain can come back with a bit more possession and a couple less long balls and get back into this.

If only Leckie's or Burns got in :(

Bahrain don't really have any idea going forward, just hit and hope really.

EHSAN FARKEN

That looked well on???

our refs bring some of the a-league to the international level...

he he. Why do the players see our refs and think its time to start smshing each other

Iran dominating almost

Needs more Mo Adnan

nice waste of time there.

could be because Australia and the a-league are perceived as very physical team/competition

I love how the capos are doing a tour of all the bays :lol:

Brilliant save

Anyone just notice that overhead camera flying above the players.. like you see in La Liga etc is this new

Offside goal number 3 :lol:

Man nice play that was millimetre perfect call ahhhhhhhhhh

keeper fucking nailed him

Hasn't #15 been booked? Lucky to still be on the pitch.

17,712.

You didn't watch the Socceroos game?

17,712 people here

Iran In -> Melbourne City Out

Master troles in my corner with a big Iraqi flag :lol:

RIP Mexican wave. That corner just wasn't having it.

Some young Iranian-Australians in my corner chanting "you are a wanker" during the Bahrain corners :lol:

multiculturalism at its finest!

actually yeah, only noticed it once. must be a corner thing

Far okut crowd is noisy as shit. Decent crowd though

GG Iran, WP. Great atmosphere.

Spent more time watching the girls rather than the football. No regrets

That's how national team support should be!

Bring one home with you !

Some of the officiating was poor. We must become a little accustomed to this.

What an amazing crowd and atmosphere inside AAMI and around the streets before and after the game. Absolute first class from the Iran supporters. Very rare to see such an atmosphere here. I could only imagine what it would have been like in Teheran in 1997 for the Socceroos when we snuck a draw in front of over 100k fanatical fans. These guys are nuts for their nation.

Good solid team who will be very hard to beat.

That was such a great spectacle last night!

I thought it was a pretty poor match from Iran, in truth. Especially in the first half where they could barely string a few passes together. Terrific atmosphere though. I loved the drums.

Glad (?) to see I wasn't the only one who noticed the peculiar attractiveness of the Iranian women...There were a lot of women there, too, which was good to see and not only from a slightly pervy perspective.

Amazing game, amazing atmosphere, my ears still ringing from the din. Never heard AAMI Park so loud. Melbourne Victory should employ those leaders to rev up the crowds on the East and West sides of the ground. PS It is a shame not all seats are full considering the cheap ticket prices.
