Iran vs. Hong Kong - [Match Thread] | Asian Cup 2023 | Friday, January 19th |

[Super Shojaei]

Everton, Nunez, and Michael. Hong Kong is truly a melting pot 😂😂😂😂

Nunez and Michael are both born and bred in Hong Kong I don’t see the issue really and Everton has played there for 6 years

Easy red card. shocking var mistake.

"Huge bias against Iran in AFC guys!"

Not as clear cut. His hands were tucked into the body so won’t be called a handball in most cases.

[DR Strangemoosh]

Ghale Noei has not even seen his own shoombool (due to his stomach) or any other trophies for many years.

There is no other coach in Iran - the talent pool for coaches is worse than the talent pool for players. The others either are too hot-headed, fall out with half the team, or can't handle the media. He is literally the only option, however crap that is

[Pishi_Rules]

Everyone, let’s be positive please. Maybe this was the wake up call we needed and to stop being so darn complacent. Our team is talented, everyone has bad days. We will bounce back.

[DR Strangemoosh]

First time I heard the voice of Looloo Goozoo on the Gol Bezan post-match talk on twitter. Pundit vibes over here

Agree with you!

Where is Mashsaeed? Also want to see Pan-Parvinist, Eboo, Coach and KALA POCH

props to HongKongiz came out to play today....!! 👍

if GordioNee wanna get experimental again with his starter choices for UAE game then he needs to decide on his starter 11 asap by tomorrow @ latest and have them practice together as a unit for few times so they dont go out there in a total clusterfk and embarrase the nation... especially with his semi kiri knack for proper substitution..!!

to increase our chances of deep progress we at all costs avoid well organized and speedy teams...
if that means losing next game on purpose to avoid the likes of SK and Japan ... then so be it..!!

We have to lose to uae.
GOrdi noie has a difficult decision to make.
I am sure HE WILL CALL CHERAGPOUR FOR ADVISE..that generation of hc will advise him to lose to uae...

PARVIN SAID IN HIS SEAT DOWN CHIT CHAT,
TM PLAYERS HAVE PROBLEM OVER WHO SHOULD BE CAPITAN...when camera is on it might be all smile ,but someone like parvin has great inside info from the camp...general also talks to nasser ibrahimi parvin best friend....there might also be issue over capitan armband.

To give another perspective: we at least came away with the victory. As invincible as we thought Japan were, Vietnam put 2 past them, and they lost to Iraq.

There was a reason why CQ did not emphasize too much build up play with our team. When opponents press, you need touch, technique, and anticipation to escape. There were so many instances where we lost the ball in our own defensive half because of trying to play this style.

In a way, this was an excellent prep game before facing the likes of Japan or South Korea. So many bad individual performances by the team so I don’t fully blame GN.

I hope GN by now, has a full grasp of the limits of our team, and does not force a certain style of play when we can’t execute. It’s better to just boot the ball up in certain instances to better relieve the pressure.

I wouldn’t get too worked up about this game. Hong Kong played well, are well-coached, and had a good defensive shape. Let’s see what happens against UAE.

I know this isn’t the right time to ask, but why do we call him general ? Is it his North Korean dictator outfit ?

That's nickname ss fans gave him back years back.

I don't know lol but at least I appreciate that we have a good free-kick taker for the first time since Nekounam
