The world Cups are Lighthouses of my life and my mind divide the years between two World cup to remember the events.

In the 1990 World cup, my very first World cup, I was just 7-year-old and I cried after Argentina defeat in final against Germany. I remember that my mom angered and asked me to stop it because she couldn’t understand it but for years later, when World Cup took place in USA and it was difficult to stay awake for matches that kick-off in 3 am (Iran time), she usually watched them and analyzed for us tomorrow morning.

In the 2010 world cup, I was in military service and I couldn’t watch the match because we had to go to sleep in 9pm.

I know the 2018 world cup will be memorable for me because it’s for the first time that I will be there and experience it closely. Honestly, I thought that Qatar 2022 will be my first World cup but luck came to me 4 years sooner.

I still love Argentina but I surely won’t cry for them or Iran. I want to enjoy my time in Russia and I feel it will be the most memorable World Cup for me.

Feel the Passion

The Day Malaysian Boys Made History in China by Football Tribe Malaysia

Image
by Keeshannan Sundaresan, Chief Editor of Football Tribe Malaysia Credit: AFC It was surreal. One day before a massive, massive decider against Saudi Arabia, Malaysian U-23 boss, Datuk Ong Kim Swee universally declared his intention to attack their opponents and go for a win. Best part? His statement was in response to Vietnam’s 1-0 win over Australia, which was yielded through a complete smash and grab performance. I clearly remember talking to a few friends and going: “Is he for real? Did he just say Vietnam’s win didn’t mean much because they were conservative on the pitch? Did he say that just one day before a cruncher against the mighty Saudis?” Malaysian football’s battle with inferiority complex has been ongoing for the last two decades or so, which if there are any individuals who have stood up against it, it’s Datuk Ong Kim Swee. From his mind-blowing team talk at the the 2011 SEA Games to all the young talents that have been moulded under him, Ong ha

I Couldn’t Ask for More! by Football Tribe Arabia

by Assi Alghazali ,  chief editor of Football Tribe Arabia When I think about football, I can’t help myself remembering when my love for the game started: r unning from home without doing my homework so I can play football with the kids from our neighbor in the empty, long, red-soiled fields!! We didn’t go back home until the sun was completely gone and there was no way to see the ball! With full of dust and maybe holes in our pants, going home was scary! (Moms like to yell in my country! lol) But still, we would go play every day! I started working here very lately! So I’m still very fresh (laugh) I liked the name (Football Tribe) and I wanted to know more about it, after I started working with these amazing guys I couldn’t help myself noticing that it’s not a tribe, No, It’s a world! A lot of people from around the world are connected together, talking discussing, laughing together every day to make the best content that you see on our website

by Jedsada Chanapinijwong, the deputy editor of Football Tribe Thailand First I have to say arigatou gozaimasu to you all. Why I have to say "Thank you" in Japanese? Because nowadays, Thai football fans give and attention to Japanese fiitball! Yes I mean J League, the strongest league in Asia. After Chanathip Songkrasin became the pioneer who landed in J League last season, this year Teerasil Dangda and Theerathon bunmathan also joined J League, which has made Thai fans more interesed in Japan football. Theerathon Bunmathan with his new nickname “Boonjung” played for Vissel Kobe against Sagan Tosu but he started only on the bench. Then Takayuki Yoshida gave him a sign to be ready to step on the pitch with 15 minutes left and he showed his dynamics and confidence. On Saturday, these Thai players faced each other as Sanferse Hiroshima of Teerasil Dangda play against Consadole sapporo of Chanathip Songkrasin. In Thailand, people in Bangkok wi
