Comments: Iran with potent offensive players like Sardar and Taremi only scored two goals in three games. Kuwait and Palestine are the only teams scoring less with one goal. China the worst team in the tournament so far also scored 2. The teams we played against UAE, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan. And only two goals. Even against Kyrgyzstan in Tehran we scored one goal. Anyways with the tie iran falls two spots in FIFA ranking to 21. Japan catapults itself to spot 15 in FIFA ranking.
Comments: UAE is a very weak team. They were dominated by NK
Comments: When the new president is elected, the new admin has to hire over 14,000 employees. Some keep their job, some leave and some get fired. The new hirers are offered by various recruiting agencies. And of course not each and every 14,000 must have exactly your views. That is why most of these people are hired based on merit and not just affiliation with the party. Prominent Democrats, Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr are assigned to lead Trump's transition team. Which is a very good news actually. They know the people in establishment, who is good who is not, and the process will be vetted by the transition team headed with this two prominent Democrats. The difference is that transition team is formed after the election. But this year this activity has started and Democrats RFK Jr and Tulsi Gabbard already on their way identifying the right people.
Comments: I believe there is a third assassination attempt planned against trump https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/11/iran-trump-assassination-plans-00183488
Comments: Meanwhile, Tehran mayor has hinted that Petrol may become free at the cost of 50 K tomman per litre.
Comments: $ exceeded 64 K toman. Of course, if you were to buy dollar delivered in US, it is much more that, probably in the order of 70K now. Gold has also gone up wildly which points to yet more higher prices of good/ services. Where would this going? Particularly, if things stay as is. On top of that, Trump is also on his way to white house, which can at least make sanctions much harder. Where is the boiling point, if there is one? By Khamenie verdict, Israel must have been wiped out by now, US no longer have oil, and IRI be the center of covid vaccine. Ghablameh did not work out, as it was against the law of physics. Israel has eliminated most of IRI crew and the remaining has either accepted to become Mossad informers or pre ordered their Halva. Meanwhile US is now world #1 in oil production.
