Iran vs. Jordan - [Match Thread] | Jordan 2023 Intl. Tournament | October 13th |

They way the played the 2nd forget AC and World Cup2026, just bring the most high profile coach that we can afford or will come to Iran , and start project WC2030(Spain/Morocco/Portugal) ASAP , we need a massive rebuild now , more than 80% of this team is above 30

If we’re lucky and we can have both Mehdi and Sardar (one is not enough to reach final of AC); then we can do damage to any team. Beiro must be there too. Otherwise; I agree with the rest of your points. We should quickly inject some young talents specially in CDM and CM.

For iran in sports and in general its the case that when we deserve to be on top of the world we fall, when we compete with tokhmi teams, surprises can happen. It reminds me of Ghassem Rezaei winning the olympics in greco. Reza Yaz gets injured in same tournament. You never know when it comes to Iran. Last Asian cup we didnt deserve to go out like that and would win if we wouldnt choke against japan. This time i believe we will play tokhmi ali asghar style and go far.

If we dont go far at least we will avoid ever seing the jendehral coaching TM again.

Absolutely atrocious 2nd half. On the goal we conceded Kanani was %100 at fault with his clumsy defending. I have seen high school kids defend better than that.

GN is also proving little by little that he has no business being the head coach.

We we are going to get raped by Japan and Korea with this kind of performance.

Worst performance in a win with +2 goal margi in history of tm...
having only 4 starters under 30 really showed its effect...but sadly the young guys are not near these old guys...

Relax buddy!!!!

Hammering everyone is not fair. You’re too negative man! This is Iran not Spain. Iran hadn’t won against Jordan in our last 3 matches with them; team Melli managed to win 3-1 on their field!!! Result wise not bad. Spain beat Jordan 3-1 here in Amman in November 2022. And the player that you want be benched (Ramin) was the best player of the match providing a beautiful assist and many great crosses!!! JB was the reason Jordani team couldn’t penetrate. The min hexwas subbed the wing was shattered!

I agree with one of your points: Fire GN. Yeah would be a great idea to bring a big coach; however even in that front it’s hard to fire a coach with 100% record! Let’s see what he does with his real enemy CQ 👍 If he can win this tournament by beating Quieroz; then not too bad. I say give him a chance to be assistant coach of Jose Morino (for instance) 😉

I can relax, but that does not change the reality which is bitter and the state of the team!

The past results or what Spain C team did against Jordan is not relevant. What is important is that this team is broken, and the weak links are pretty obvious for anyone to see. You want to keep the bar low, that is fine, you will achieve even lower. I am thinking the bar should be as high as possible if you want to be the king of Asia again!

Mohebi makes you want to pull your eyes out the number of times this guy dribbles the ball from central position to the wings, gets double teamed and loses possession is mind-blowing. Like come on man just recycle the ball if you dont see a good passing option, quick destroying every possession. The problem is the players at this point, you cant coach things like this.

Bro Hazbavi would have played much better than Kanaai today , probably could have taken his spot

with Kanaai on the team , it doesn’t matter who the opponent is , you guaranteed at least 4 to 5 big mistakes , and 1 to 2 100% goal scoring chance gifted to the …

Mohebi, kanaai, shoja, these just low ass IQ at best for TM, they all bench players you bring on in the 85 minutes to kill time not starters

Why was Saman subbed off 15 minutes? Extremely shitty move by GN if Saman isn't injured.


Only positive was that Mehdi and Azmoun are still sharp.

Our defensive shape is awful. Core issue is the lack of talent.

Shoja is done, Kanaani is brainless and Hajisafi is just bad all around. We need Hosseini and Aghasi in the middle.

JB was offensivly the worst I have seen him this season.

Saeed isn't that guy.

Mohammadi was also extremely poor besides the goal that was gifted to him.

Overall the team looks very disjointed. It's exactly like how looked in skocic. Got the results against inferior teams, but looked shaky whenever challenged.

I usually dont buy into typical PDFC hype around players but when you mention Hazbavi it really hurts. That guy is SPECIAL. He is hundred percent the next big star in iranian football and its not even close. WTF is jendehral doing not inviting a guy like him?!

He will play in bundesliga or even more likely in ITALY. Its in his destiny.

England only managed to put 1 behind Australia at home!

Japan and Korea powerful showing today.

Iran performance against Jordan ???????? Ramin was our best player! :-( ????

ARJ, Saeid, 2 cbs awful.

Mohebbi was decent actually I thought. Better decision making on the ball than usual, although his baseline was pretty low. Good hustle off it as usual and his speed is a factor.

Ghoddos needs to start, as does a new CM. Saeid is still shading it at DM but would seriously consider blooding in ghorbani from sepahan not that GN will ever do it. Sadly besides that there arent any options. Nour is even more shit, Ali Karimi while decent is made of glass and anyways plays much more advanced role for kayseri.

Majid Hazbavi cb duo is the way forward, again not that GN will do it.

Azmoun Taremi are such a fantastic 1-2 punch. Shame we will waste them with a useless non functional midfield.

I know bro. I get your points. However you’re acting like this is an important game. This is a friendly against a team we haven’t beaten for 12 years. Yes the performance wasn’t eye catching snd awful in 2nd half. A bitter reality that we don’t have a strong bench and have to rely on our main guys. And on the conspiracy theory side; I saw a shift of play right after the second goal because the way it was going, we could see a 5-0 coming! But someone ordered to slow down. Pashme shishe tv started praising the fans for holding Palestine flags and we saw a different team. Now either for political reasons or for injury prevention?!!! Like they were told to take it easy!!! Anything is possible from mafia hey? I might be wrong though.

But friendlies are good for this. Find out weak points. Right? Let’s see what he does against CQ. I understand your valid points. Cheers

I've always liked his precise crosses and hustling mentality though? 😕
