Carlos Queiroz criticized the current situation of Team Melli program towards the World Cup 2014.

After his return from Brazil to inspect the available options for Iran’s training camp and accommodations arrangement, Queiroz once again sounded the alarm and bemoaned the fact that Team Melli has no friendly matches arranged until the New Year.

“The available FIFA days remaining this calendar year is occupied by the 3 matches we play in the AFC Asian Cup 2015 qualifiers which will be against Thailand, Kuwait and Lebanon. We have no friendly matches arranged at all. “

“I will be frank, honest and transparent; these games cannot be considered as preparation matches for our team towards the World Cup. This is laughable”

 What is not very clear or transparent in Queiroz claims, is who is accountable for lack of support and inability to arrange friendly matches?. For information, friendly matches do not have to be held on FIFA days. Jordan, who will play Uruguay in the World Cup intercontinental play-off on November 15 , has played a friendly match against Nigeria a couple of days ago in non-FIFA day and there are many other such matches arranged.
