I watched it on youtube live. The replay and even English commentators were saying ref missed it!
Clearly it was a foul and direct red!

I also saw the YouTube live and the commentator said it's not a foul. He said when you look at it from the correct angle, you clearly see it was not a foul.

3rd goal was an offside. Virtual replay was fake. That's why it took 10min for them to show the replay. Gave them enough time to fix it.

I've followed Asian football enough to believe you.
Everyone thinks its an automated system. It's not.
The refs in the VAR room set the line. They pick the moment the offside is assessed. All sorts of ratf*ckery can take place.

The tackle was on the ball, no foul.

More crucial was the easy pass JB couldn't give to taremi which would allow Taremi just to tap in the ball.

Did the foul continue to impede Taremi's path to ball though? I really don't know.
For example a defender can get the ball first, but if the attacker is still trying to run and the ball is in front of him in the path to goal, I think it should be a foul.

why do team melli fans always say this? during syria game people said thank god when we almost loss at least we wont get embarassed vs japan! guess what we beat japan. just lots of bad luck today and bad lineup. with normal lineup we beat qatar and jordan for sure. the asian cup was gifted to us and we said no. im going to be sick for a long time

I get your point, but what can I say bro. I know how you feel.
Any Team can beat another team on any given day, that's just part of the game.
My point is we have had great games such as in Australia in 97. Or even losing to Argentina in the last minute.
If we are looking for just a few games to make ourselves happy, then so be it.
We lose more important games when it matters.
Making it to the 1978 WC was truly an accomplishment by the standards back then. None of these Arab teams were even close to the quality of our team. Look at how much everyone else has improved. 48 years of not getting out of the WC group stage, or the last AFC title in 1976. It is disappointing and heartbreaking. Some may see the glass half full, but I see it more than half empty.
Been following our football forever and I have to say our fans, our players, and our nation deserve better.

That whole match is about that foul

Did we really lose? Still hoping this was all a bad dream. Reality hasn’t really sunk in yet

Are we talking about same youtube?
Toward the end of period when they showed replay from another angle, they said, ref missed that…

Live it looked like a foul but I was at work and hard to tell on small screen. Given the result, I haven’t felt like watching the replay. Only highlights which don’t show the noncalls

Next Asian Cup will be Semi Final for us to, mark my words

They said it wasn’t a foul after the replay and they can understand why the Iranians initially though it was

Yeah, I don't think we were wronged at all and I referee division one and semi pro soccer. The tackle on Taremi was clean. The third goal was not offside because of Rezaian. And if anything, the penalty was subjective and not a stonewall PK - could have went either way.

Lol.. no they weren't!

Dude, quit saying things that weren't said (by others).

It wasn't a foul. Defender got all ball and then barely brushed Taremi's leg, and then Taremi took a dive.
