[Hadouken]

here I see again that the overlap between us (kurds) and iranians is exeggerated

I've noticed that Iranian phenotypes are very heterogeanous the Iranid is very present, and the lack of the Arabid surprise me, i was thinking that Iranians were a bit arab influenced.
Anyway Kurds and Iranians are close to each other, I think you can pass between team, you have to grow your hairs lol.

[Hadouken]

you have to grow your hairs lol.

my hair is mad at me ....some left me years ago and never came back ;)

True, number 12 looks pretty different when on tv

LMFAO I was going to point that out. It's true he looks very Mediterranean (western stock) on TV.

[Han Cholo]

Can you provide some better pictures just for comparison Adam? There they look like some dark Pakis with exaggerated features. In other pics they are far more "normal West-Asian":

Sorry lol I posted only pictures from the FIFA but I will do it in next times.

[Tooting Carmen]

Iranids with some Pontids and Armenoids. The ones who look the most South Asian are 13 and 23.

Arabid is present in Iran among Ahwazi and Arab islanders. It seems to be confined to the Arab ethnic group.

I'm talking about the team, and as we know Arabs in Iran are small so they probably will be less "visible" in Info, Sports etc.

what does Iranian_D stands for ?

[Yuffayur]

what does Iranian_D stands for ?

Iranians from Dodecad project.

[Anglojew]

Most of hem could pass in Pakistan or even India

[Xanthias]

Iranians from Dodecad project.

where they choosen differently from others ?

[Yuffayur]

where they choosen differently from others ?

Nope, they're Iranians in the project, so they can be rappresentative or not, but since they're quite numerous they can be rappresentative.

[Yuffayur]

Yes on the other hands some can pass in levant and some in southeastern europe.

[Anglojew]

Yes, true.

There was one Ahwazi Arab player but this it.

[Yuffayur]

There was one Ahwazi Arab player but this it.

Which one ? I'm curious.

[StonyArabia]

Which one ? I'm curious.

He used to play but not anymore, he was goali I believe. He was the only Arab player.

[Yuffayur]

Hmm ok I see.

[Demhat]

Iranid, some Pontics and Armenoids.

number 16 and 6 have some Central Asian look. Can't really see any South Asian looking one, the rest are in the normal Iranid range.

[Vyasa]

Most of them can pass in India

[MEDACHE]

some Pontics

no.

[Demhat]

Most of them can pass in India

India is a huge landscape with a huge range of phenotypes. Not a single of them can pass as average in any part of India. Since when are Iranids and Alpines common in India?

[Demhat]

The images are often misleading. In Action they appear even different.

Male-Pattern baldness is an epidemic among young Armenian men. I wonder if there is some common gene in the region that causes this. You see 21 or 22 year olds in Armenia with male-pattern baldness (in the beginning stage).

[Demhat]

One thing i have noticed while watching Iran play, was That there was a difference on appearance between the iranian squad and the iranian crowd of Fans, especially on the skin Color. The crowd beeing significantly lighter.

They presumably spend less time in the sun than do the footballers.
