First Iran-Canada, then Iran-Uruguay and now Iran-Oman. All three friendly matches against Iran were canceled. Iran is the only national team to have reached the World Cup in the whole world, which is so chaotic and unplanned in the course of these competitions, and one preparatory match is canceled one after another.

In this regard, Iran can also set a record in Guinness. The team is currently in the Qatari camp, which is still facing a lot of criticism due to the high temperature of the host country of the World Cup. Iran and Oman were supposed to play a friendly match, and even the coaches of the Oman national team had secretly visited TM practices.

But Oman coach Branko opposed the match for reasons that are still unclear, in order to prepare for another World Cup preparation match. The first was canceled for political reasons. Of course, the cancellation of the second match, namely Uruguay, seems to be more in the interest of the Iranian national team. A 24-hour flight for a friendly visit and a one-day stay in this South American country was not an interesting idea at all. But Oman could have been a small benchmark for the nationalists, but the opportunity was missed in all its small dimensions.

If the is not canceled for the fourth time, TM will play against the Algerian national team in Doha on the 22nd of June. Algeria is one of the best African teams, currently ranked 29th in the world.

Nothing special is happening in our camp in Qatar. The players leave their hotel every day at around 40 degrees Celsius in Doha and go to the training ground. On the plus side, it's only 10 minutes from the hotel to the training ground. Another news regarding the national team is that Mehrdad Khanban is still present as an analyst next to Skocic.

It has been a few days since the start of TM camp in Qatar, but there is still no news about agha Karim. He is said to have made the final choice between the national team and Persepolis and will no longer be with Skocic. He has been under intense media pressure for some time and now prefers to separate his way from TM.. Khodadad Azizi's name was mentioned two weeks ago, but it seems that his presence in TM has also been ruled out. There may be no need to choose a successor to Karim Bagheri.

We know well what other Asian national teams are doing  while our TM is going without a plan and without a significant preparation game. For example, Iran's regular rivals in Asia, namely Japan and South Korea, which are currently on the path of preparation are unwavering and planned. Today, the Japanese played a friendly match against the Brazilian national team, and South Korea played Chile. Iran is also currently waiting to see if its first preparatory meeting with Algeria will be finalized. Should this one also be canceled?

Faramarz,

 sorry about the late reply. Even though it is sad to see Majidi leave the Blue, it is best for him to leave while on top. He has satisfied the fans with this championship. It’s been tremendous.

 As much as I dislike our footballers in general and this coach in particular, contributing to the Arab leagues, he needs the experience. I hope to see him back one day!
