One hour to the game

[KasraKhan]

It's also as fresh of a team we can possibly field under the circumstances. 4 new starters. And 2 other players were subbed out early prior game (Saman and JB). That's 6 relatively fresh players on a 2 day turnaround time.

If I trusted anyone to fill it for Taremi, it’s Ghoddos. Don’t like Mohebi, why not Gholi or Torabi instead ? Otherwise I’m ok with this

[Camran khan]

Long time since I've been this excited for a TM game!

Obviously anything can happen and the game can go either way, but even if we win, I honestly can't imagine GN being the one who bring the trophy back to Iran after 50 years, sounds too surrealistic in my head..

[Ardalan]

Why cant JB play on the left and Gholi on the right? JB always play on the right. These days wingers play on the opposite site of their strong foot except JB

Shayad GN mikhad ke toop ersaal kone baraye Sardar. Az samte raast monaasebtare.

Mohebi is only choosen becuase of his height. He is taller than both torabi and ghayedi. Arj is also taller than gholizadeh.

Make game physical and lets see how it goes.

[Corey]

Strategy is quote clear and a bit CQ like. Physical players with defensive abilities. Could work, only concern is slow Eza and slower Omid in CDM. If the manage tactical discipline (Ramin?????) it can work. If we concede and open up a change is nessecary. Ehsan for Omid could work too, but I suppose GN prefers Omid qualm approach...

I think TM will play 4-5-1 when defending and 4-3-2-1 when attacking. This is a good system for containing Japan. Hope our players play compact.

Watching the game live from the stadium. Jatoon khali! Let’s go Team Melli 💪🏼

[Kian H]

Its a Damn shame Taremi isnt playing. But fukk it we shouldnt be afraid. We need a killer mentality and fear no one. Japan isnt unbeatable they arent aliens. The boys Can do it!

Koka i still beleive we should've played with 3 central defenders. Shoja playing as right back backed by ramin or ghoddos.
