[Poll] Lose against UAE and avoid Japan or beat UAE and face Japan before the final?

[perspolis#1]

keep playing karim until the next round...he will be perfect for sardar to rest..i will keep taremi out too of this game..he looks tired...ghaedi the entire game..ramin out too...more rest the better

It's actually crazy how much rest our team needs to play poverty minutes. A lot are older but a 33 yr old ATHLETE should be able to manage at least 60 minutes of cardio every 4 days.

Most players don't have the conditioning to get through the group stages - it's why in game three in world cups we are always so exhausted physically and mentally, in comparison with almost every other national team

[Pluto2000]

If anything I'd play full strength lineup...our next game if we top the group is in 8 days...that's a week of rest

Which is embarassing.

Especially now that you can sub out 5 players a game.

What if Indonesia beat Japan on Wednesday

Team Melli did deliberately lost to South Korea 3:0 at 1988 AFC Asian Cup to ensure a second-place finish at group stage. It did nothing, because in the semi-finals Team Melli lost to Saudi Arabia 1:0.

That deliberate 3:0 loss to South Korea got recorded and considered one of Team Melli's worst losses.

Team Melli should not be coward and face whoever, every game is unpredictable, on a good day Team Melli wins and on a bad day losses.

It wasn't a deliberate loss. Both teams fielded reserves as it was the last group game and we had both already qualified for the semifinals.

Thank you.

OK. So one case would be Team Omid deliberate loss versus Myanmar, which backfired on Team Omid.

Let’s be honest we have the quality to beat Japan. But do we have the stamina to hold on that what worries man ,

japan ain’t a team that can’t be beaten , Vietnam scores 2 goals on them , Iraq scored 2 goals on them what that mean , their defense is weak if you attack them they will concede…

can we hold Japanese attack , that is the big question???

we have to consider it 4 finally games after the UAE games Against UAE we don’t need to win even a tie is good enough but lose against them no that can’t happen, you always play to win …..

UAE
Syria
japan
qatar/Uzbekistan
australia/Saudi/Korea

To lose to get easier teams might make sense , but they way we been playing there is no easy team for us ….
