Asian cup U-20 2023

[PSGman#19]

Vietnam seems the stronger team of the group and qatar the weakest. Everything is against us for the last game.
I wonder how Vietnam became that good suddenly, I guess they were playing some u17 or 20 world cup lately..

Vietnam are playing CQ-style. I have watched both their games and they didn’t deserve to win any of them.

Key is to score early.

That's worse if their strength is defense (specially with our strikers missing goals left and right) but still able to score goals.

Nokhodi jan, this is not fair.

The fact remains that we have not won the football title since 1976 (same story with Asian Cup). Why do we have to always settle for mediocrity and mask it with useless prideful words - when the reality is completely different? Why criticize people pointing these out.

In that time for the U20s, Saudi Arabi has won it (numerous times), Qatar has won it, Iraq (numerous times) has won it, North Korea (numerous times) has won it etc.

Our youth are rarely given the necessary infrastructure and opportunities to develop their football skills, such as proper coaching and infrastructure. Every tournament, we get excited about our potential, only to realize that we never achieve it. Whether it's U17s, U20s, U23s ...

This is because the system we live under in Iran is the worst in the world. We rely solely on natural talent (I think Iran has the best natural talent in Asia - i.e. basketball, soccer, volleyball etc.), and other countries beat us out because they have a right, systematic grassroots approach - with systematic planning and growth development programs.

Those who believe we will pull out some miracles under IR, in our football, are delusional optimists. They mean the best, but really are damaging the narrative and truth.

Everything is going according to plan so far - Iran has a slim chance of advancing from the group and almost no chance of advancing as one of the four teams. To win the whole thing? Come on. I would love to eat my words.

As someone who cares deeply about the Iranian people, I genuinely hope that Iran wins this tournament. It would be a small token that could help alleviate some of our suffering. Although, I don't think people in Iran right now even care about football - imaging your daughter gets gassed by merely going to school.

TS jan,

I agree with most of your points and get what you're saying - but let me phrase it like this: if a TM at any level won a continental competition, would that mean the regime is all of a sudden good?

No. Of course not.

Football does require consisted planning, funding, training and matches to show consistent results, but it does have the occasional blip where a team performs better than expected. That could happen with our TMs.

What I'm saying is I can point out if a match itself wasn't necessarily reflective of the result. I don't expect TM U20 to win this tournament, but I do think they played well enough to at least draw Australia. That's all I'm saying.

I know you want TM to win everything, regardless of the background, so I wasn't questioning that.

As for do people care about football or not, I think ordinary people care still. They want to go to the stadiums (ladies and gentlemen). The only ones who don't like and don't understand football truly to this day are the political nutcases we unfortunately have too many of.

Results today
Kyrgyzstan-Japan 0-3
China-Saudi 2-0

Lol Saudi 😂😂

[inarsenewetrust]

Saudi losing 2-0 to china but according to some here their football program should be football envy of the region and world. ok lol. If we lost 2-0 to china we would say iranian football has no future whatsoever and all the players and coach are useless and a result of inbreeding

[taremiscores]

Aussies up 3-1 in just 30 minutes.

[taremiscores]

We went to this tournament without a striker. I just don't know where are our goals are going to come from. And a tie means we are out.

Every thing is saant (cross) and we don't have a dominant target men in there. Samad agha is clueless.
