    This is the same team played in Qatar last week and ashamed Iranian volleyball by losing to Qatar 3-0 X( . I really can't call this team "Iran B" , I can name at least 50 players better than these players. Only one player is good IMO, Mojtaba Shaban, he was suspended by FIVB but it seems his ban is lifted. this team is just formed 2 weeks ago and they played one match in Iran and lost it 3-1 to Iran Youth (U19) team !!!
