No everything is disorganized, everything rely on etefagh

i dont think so. we look very dangerous when we attack and Japan looks stressed and cant handle our tall strong players. If we continue this way we will score soon. I like this kind of play much better than how we played against Hongkong and Syria. We look actually good against strong Japan team.

[Bi-honar]

The key for that when/if we concede is not to panic like we did in 2019 and collapsed totaly a la iranian style

And we didn't. Other than a bad lapse, I found the later parts of the 1st half quite encouraging.

We just need to pick up the pace a little bit especially ARJ and Kanaani.

2nd Half of the First Half clearly ours. Bring in Goli and Torabi and DONT sub out Saman and we definately will score. This Japan Team is beatable today!

[webmaster]

no i'm not looking for a youtube link ur not the only technologically competent person.

So what now? did you find the stream mr competent????

[Golefarsi]

look how many long ball duels we win, our players clearly are taller and stronger and i would keep on sending in long ball in to the box for some one to head it in.

This feels like Iran-USA all over again.

They get a tokhmi goal and then go on cruise control defending while we try and only make half chances we cant score.

They need to keep attacking Japans right side of defense, we’ve won all aerial duels there. Azmoun needs to look hungrier in the box as well he is solid couple of inches bigger than whole Japan back line. ARJ only asset right now is physicality and defensive work rate, offensively he is a non-entity. Bring Gholi ~ min 60.

[Karimi 8]

Shifty goal to concede, Kanaani completely out of position and Beiro with a horrible kick. We just didn’t have enough accuracy in our crosses to Azmoun or we would have a goal.

I think Ghaedi and Gholi would change this game. But we are clearly being outplayed with the interplay.

[Nokhodi]

Keep the approach we have. We just need to be more clinical and take our chances. Defense must keep its shape.
direct and long balls really scare their defense. This game is winnable.

[Tahdig]

Let’s not forget they haven’t brought in Mitoma nor Minamino.

Regardless what happens, let’s be proud of this generation. For the past few years we’ve been able to watch most of them play in Europe and against the world’s best.

Have we ever won a game when we have been scored on first ?

[JoojehKoobedeh2]

Guess what the long balls are actually working and the Japanese players are having trouble dealing with them so anyone complaining about them has 0 footballing sense or knowledge. Our players don’t have the quality to play on the ground vs a team like Japan. If we play on the ground it’ll end up intercepted and we get countered. At least with the long balls if they don’t work we get to reshape. This game besides the lucky bounce goal is definitely been even. If Sardar decides to put on his big boy pants we could definitely get something out of this. So far the plans beeen good but lucks not really been on our side. We will score but winning depends on players like Azmoun…

Lebanon under skocic was the last competitive game I remember. Kenya too I think

i know this is your website and youve done a lot to keep it going which i appreciate, but that doesn't give you a valid reason to be rude and condescending.
