I've been following Sochaux through the score sites and ting, massive massive game vs Evian at home coming up. definitely will be watching
I'm excited for that too. So much at stake. If they win Herve Renard and the Zambians will become cult heros for saving the season. Both ways I think Sinkala and Sunzu will move to bigger clubs this summer.

Outside of Tiote and (ALi) who are the midfielders that are any good?

Iran's national team's Portuguese coach Carlos Queiroz.


CARLOS Queiroz has enjoyed the finer things in football life during a career that includes senior management roles at the world’s richest clubs Real Madrid and Manchester United.

But his experience as manager of Iran is drastically different.

Queiroz and his players have hit out at the country's football federation and kit sponsor for providing shrinking socks, boots that are too small and not enough equipment.

The row has worsened tensions between Queiroz and the federation over chaotic preparations for the finals, which start June 12 in Brazil.

The Portuguese coach went to a training camp in Africa last month with only 12 players.

With the countdown ticking away to Iran's first Group F game against Nigeria, Queiroz criticised the German makers of the Iran team strip Uhlsport.


“Before crucial games against Qatar and South Korea, which were played in extreme conditions of humidity, the equipment delivered was not proper,” he told reporters before his team headed to a new World Cup training camp in Austria.

“This could have put Iran out of the World Cup,” he said of the two qualifying games.

Queiroz went on to lambast the federation for failing to provide proper boots or enough clothing.

“If you give shoes sized 34 to somebody that wears size 44 he cannot walk five metres,” said Queiroz, only partly joking about the predicament his players find themselves in.

Iran, playing in the World Cup finals for the fourth time after 1978, 1998 and 2006, face a tough first round group against Argentina, Africa Cup of Nations champions Nigeria and debutants Bosnia.


“If you have one tracksuit per player morning and afternoon it cannot be good,” added Queiroz.

Several players joined Queiroz in grumbling about the kit.

“They give us large size socks and after two days and being washed they shrink to a small size,” said striker Karim Ansarifard at the press event.

Mohammad Reza Khalatbari, whose former club Sepahan, used Uhlsport equipment of the “best quality”, hinted he believes the Iranian side was being given inferior supplies.


“The gear that we have now, we really don't know what it is,” said the striker.

“We are really tired of talking about this. I don't understand why everyone is defending it. When there is something wrong, we should admit that there is a problem.” Sports Minister Mahmoud Goudarzi downplayed the Iranian team's equipment problems.

Damn you are a woeful poster. Started out nicely but declining recently

I know you're new to posting and all, but you can't allow yourself to have this gimmick, you're better than that. At least I hope for all of us you're better than that.
