What has this world come to for Team Melli ?

Evan Palestine has refused to turn up for a scheduled friendly match it was supposed to play against Team Melli citing logistics difficulties!

Palestine , ranked 133 in FIFA ranking which last played against Team Melli in October 2011 and lost 7-0, was supposed to be the second and the last international friendly match in the entire Team Melli preparation program before the AFC Asian Cup 2015 Australia.

Now that the Palestinians have not turned up , Carlos Queiroz and his men will be heading to Australia with only one real match under their sleeve to face the rest of the Asian teams. That was the narrow 1-0 win against South Korea in Azadi. 

Despite all these downturn of events and the dismal and lackluster preparations for the continents greatest and prestigious football tournament, some players are still upbeat and think they are in with a chance of winning it

Calros  Queioz , however , is much more realistic and truthful in his approach., He only promised to fight in every match, and that is the best he can offer the nation under the wretched training program the team is undergoing now. The current South African Training Camp has only one legionnaire’s player while the majority are absent.
