The country itself is just shy of 80 million. If you count all of its various ethnic groups as Iranian, then I could def believe its diaspora would be over 100 million.

And there are, what, 425 Iranians on facebook?

Mak starting vs England. Currently scoreless in the 26th minute. Russia is down 0-2 vs Wales, which is a great result for Slovakia.

Can you elaborate on that? Do you mean in terms of...marketing? Why would an Iranian player be relevant at all for us?

Maybe grab some moisturizer, lean back, do what you gotta do

Seems we're offering 700k for that Milan GK, while Carpi still has right of first refusal on Verdi through the 22nd. If he's any good at all, then they'll surely snap him up.

Yeah his highlights looked atrocious. Fortunately, the team has denied being in contact with him. I know that Iranian site says it's probably one of PAOK or Oly, but I think this guy is way below the level of either. Much more likely he'd be going to a club at Asteras/Atromitos/Giannina level.

This time, extra tongue

Kpaps isn't a DM, and isn't fit to start...at all. Holebas may make a good wingback while he still has legs, but Torosidis does not. A 3-5-whatever does not play to our real-life strengths, only hypotheticals.

Seems we really want to spend some cash on a CF this summer. As long as Ivic will actually be able to use the guy, sure, why not. http://inpaok.com/309531

Inching ever closer to a loan at PAO

I'm drawing a blank here - was a Russia friendly supposed to go down before WCQ began? Or is it one of those potential ones posted above?

Playing for Portugal, he isn't going to be in his normal position any time soon. Same deal as with Wolfsburg, really.

The last I had read (which was a while ago, and doubtlessly is wrong) was that we were offering 500k and they wanted 1.5mm, with us likely settling for 1mm. Is he worth more than that? I really have no idea.

Igor Tudor will be taking his 3-4-2-1 over to Kardemir Karabukspor next season. It looks like they just got promoted to Turkey's first division.

Also a good move, and would harm us much less.

I read in passing that Jairo might be loaned to them too? Or that Giannina is requesting him? He'd be a notable improvement on the wing for them, assuming he stays healthy.

Ecuador was toothless until the last 20 or so minutes, when they really put on the pressure. At that point, though, they were already two down, and the writing was on the wall. US is going to have a hard time against Argentina (assuming Venezuela doesn't pull off a miracle).

Noboa very average vs the US, Ecuador deservedly lost. Was subbed off at 62'

Maccabi (Tel Aviv this time) is apparently interested in taking Sabo on loan. This is a good move if you ask me. We're also apparently looking at Vladimir Gabulov. I still don't think we need another goalie.

If we loan him, I say loan him somewhere where he'll get better. He won't improve if we give him to another team in Greece...esp a second division one.

Michel has rejected a quest from Jairo's old club to borrow him back. Seems we want to use him. I like the guy, but he's remarkably injury prone. Good when he's "on," the few times that happens.

Cimirot's a DM, surely he wouldn't be third in the pecking order in an offensive capacity?

Now that would be a signing I'd like.

Here's some vids of the guy: http://inpaok.com/309340/
