The stats are promising, but we had the same issue in the match against qatar: we have bulk of possession and way more shots, but need to capitalize on them with more goals.

We had these kind of stats while having a really bad game lol. If we play Australia 10 more times we won’t lose a single one.Originally posted by diz View PostThe stats are promising, but we had the same issue in the match against qatar: we have bulk of possession and way more shots, but need to capitalize on them with more goals.
Agreed about the wastefulness. That’s one area i’m disappointed Marfavi hasn’t worked on… I mean he was a fantastic striker himself.
If it’s nerves then that’s also on Marfavi…Esteghlal 💙💙Comment

Yes it is. All 3 of us have scored 3 goals currently.Originally posted by Nokhodi View Post
On final day if Iran beat Vietnam they will advance no matter what (will have scored more than vietnam if we beat them).
Pretty simple scenario. And if we dont beat vietnam we frankly do not deserve to go through.Comment

Another thing to mention is that two of the best in this age group, Yadegar and Doustali, arent there, both already legionairres.
That would be the creative mid and CF combo that would probably turn a lot of the good play and long spells of possession into goals.
The CFs behind doustali that we see so far lack a lot. And Yadegar is the best player in this age group full stop.
Today Enayat (#8) showed strong performance, nice goal. He has great physical qualities and covers ground very well, good in possession too. Captain of Perspolis youth team, maybe would be nice for yahya to invest some time in him instead of kamyabinia for the 12th consecutive season.Comment

Nokhodi jan, this is not fair.Originally posted by Nokhodi View Post
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.

U17 went to wc quarter of final once but I get your message.Originally posted by taremiscores View Post
I guess we are more successful at u17 than u20/u23 is because many more u17 teams have weak collective play, so our individual players can have more success.Comment

Precisely this. Iranians have good badaan-sazi at that age and can get ahead. It's just we are naturally girthy lol.Originally posted by PSGman#19 View Post"This is a totalitarian system whose presence people feel in their blood and in their flesh on a daily basis.
