Comments: I will write more but one of the things that has plagued our football is the lack of experience internationally. Players are just stunted and like the commentator said affected by the external factors. The ref was of course horribly bias and did not make a number of obvious things including two PKs in the first half. But we knew this was going to happen and still were not mentally prepared for it. Among the players, I though Ghodoos and EzatollAhi had a particularly poor day. Overall, this is as far as I thought we'd go. The game against Japan was an aberration. The rest were below what we should be capable of.
Comments: Good observations LOL, on both accounts. The problem we always seem to face is mental preparation. This comes from lack of exposure to world football. Japan and Korea and even Arabia do not have this problem. They spend a lot of money and effort to remedy that. It is also coaching issues. CQ was excellent at preparing us mentally. The team respected him and had confidence in his abilities and listened to him and followed his instruction, which is why we had so much success under CQ. The same does not apply to GN, since there is no real substance there and the players know that, so there is no respect for him. This of course also hurts the team, but it is the responsibility of our federation to get us the right leadership, not the players.
Comments: Overall this was a successful tournament for us. We went out in the semis just like 4 years ago but this time we put up a great fight and really deserved to win. From top 5 teams in Asia Iran had the best showing and should get back the #1 spot in Asia from Japan. Now on to more excitements in March 21 & 26 for WC qualifying ![[biggrin]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif "Big Grin - :D")
Comments: GN listened to my advice and started Hajisafi and Taremi but he made the mistake of keeping Omid and not starting Mohhebi. He corrected his mistake at halftime but the damge had been done by then. The turning point in the game was very early in the match before Iran scores. Bayranvand made a very bad pass that the Qataris almost intercepted and that was when GN instructed him to just kick the ball. That took Iran out of the their game plan to build up their atatck from the backline and ended up playing a direct game that Qatar could handle since the high balls was 50/50 now and no 80/20 like the Japan match. The other turning point was Taremi going down on the one-on-one after the first goal with a slight touch and hoping for a foul. Qatar ended up scoring on the follow up. Taremi should have done much better and scored, I think he was our lowest rated player today.
Comments: Zinsky, We don't need new blood, although we always have to look more talents. What we do need is a new coach..., a real coach.
Comments: We played well but not good enough. Luck wasn’t on our side.
Comments: What a game! You could not ask for more excitement and drama in a semi-final. At the end the luckiest team won not the more desreving team but that;s football. Hope you all had taken your heart medication before watching this one 
Comments: It's over, 2-3 loss for us. We hit the post in the last couple of minutes, bad luck.
Comments: I’m done! Can’t watch it anymore
Comments: Wow..., so this why they wanted to have a Kuwait referee. Now I understand.
Comments: Time to bring some new blood
Comments: Can’t say we didn’t try. So many opportunities but they scored. Painful
Comments: I think their goal was offside, but no VAR
Comments: That was offside.
Comments: Better half so far
Comments: We will win this game 3-2
Comments: تیمی که اعصابش،رو کنترل نکنه میبازه. ایران باید برینه به اعصاب قطریها. بره پنالتی ما میبریم.
Comments: Penalty for Iran. And scores 2-2
Comments: Mental aspect of the game was completely ignored in preparation. Let's see what they will do in the second half.
Comments: Seems like heavy drinking is coming up |
