Guys. I am a little worried about CQ giving so much praise to the US team, I hope he doesn't overestimate them. Do you think his praise is just his way to relax the players so they don't feel too much pressure to win, or do you think he believes they are the better team?

It's the classic CQ mind games, "we are the underdogs", I think the players has learned to understand him by now.

Qatar World Cup chief accuses Jurgen Klinsmann of racism and slams Gary Lineker (msn.com)

[koorosh]

CQ has many friends and contacts in US soccer and was considered for the USMNT manager. He has been and will be diplomatic.

We are seeing the best and the worst of CQ.

Not admitting mistakes, not taking responsibility for loss, stubbornness. Add to that being out of touch and yet vocal regarding Iran's political situation and what the people want.

The Klinsman diversion was a gift of the gods to him. Finally finding a faux focus to direct anger and raise motivation.

His game plan against Wales was great and effective whereas he contributed to the failure against England.

But the biggest problem we had were the players themselves, distracted, uncertain and disorganized. The loss focused them...they learned that the only way to have success at home, now being labeled as the IR team, was to do the one thing they knew how to do...play football.

CQ going with Hosseini as GK was genius...a real injection of confidence to the keeper...same with bringing on Cheshmi.,. giving him redemption.

The players will be motivated against USA, for different reasons...win against the enemy of IR or win back the people.

Will be more motivated than if not in this situation of purgatory.

I used to be a huge fan of Klinsmann, every club he went, I would sort of show interest in that club. When he was captain of German national team and later coach I was very happy.

However, I realized that he is unstable.

His goal celebration vs Iran at 1998 World Cup was full on he wanted to tear the net. Was it due to extreme hatred towards Iran? Minute 1:12 of the youtube video.

Then he donated money to Earthquake Victims in Iran

He also thanked Iranians for great hospitality

Then in 2019, he was one of the candidates for Head Coach position of Iran national team

Over the past decade plus, I thought Klinsmann was just a grumpy individual. Now it probably makes sense why Matthaus and Klinsmann were not getting along, maybe it was more than a rivalry for being captain of Germany national team.

Now after what he said about Iran vs Wales, I now see him as a racist due to his disgusting comments. Maybe he was promised Head Coach job in Iran but then Football Federation backed off, so his hatred towards Iran and Iranians intensified.

One more video... His great dive against Argentina in WC 1990 final, which led to the unfair ejection of Monzon in the game. He looks like a Salmon out of water. And he has the gall to criticize someone else. He was lucky there was no VAR or he would have been carded himself!

it is just respect and sportsmanship. he doesnt want to give US team any motivation or material to use to pump up their guys.

Lol, he's now resorting to the "I have many Iranian friends" defense. As an "American", he should know that this argument is the classic meme argument used by racists when accused of racism? This dude just keeps digging his hole deeper

It looks legit to me, it was a foul but he made it too dramatic (over the top) by jumping and going for a dive on the grass.

I guess it doesn't matter now. But does Anyone know why CQ didn't let Amiri play, or if it was maybe Amiri himself that refused to play?

[Mahsaa]

According to BBC Skocic talked to HRT ( i guess croatian) and said this lineup yesterday would not even be my tenth choice and that many players who played the qualification were left out
