Iran vs Qatar post game thread and players rating

[Doctor DOOM]

Most of the players were below average, some of them really bad. Only few were better than other like Ezzi, Sardar, ARJ, Kaanani and Shoja. Saman improved in second half but still miles away from his best.

Ramin Sucked big time, both in defence which is normal for him but at least he use to be better in offence but today he had not a single cross with quality. I dont know how many cross balls he had, at least 10, one worse than other.

Beiro, such a disappointment in general but particularly this game, beside one or two decent saves, his footworks sucked big time in first half. He was not the goalkeeper we used to feel safe with. Even liability in the areal balls.

Taremi, I dont know what to say about him but we had so much hope on him before this tournament be had a really bad tournament beside the game vs UAE.

.....

In defense of ramin, I gotta say he has played all the games after Moharami's injury.
So fatigue finally got to him.

as for crosses, it was the wrong tactics by GN who thought just bcoz they got the better of the off-form japanese defense, they can apply the same to qatar's who were taller and more physical than japanese def.
We should have at least MIXED it with some ground passing, cut-backs, through balls & dribbling (Gholi, Ghayedi, ..) to test the defense and perhaps get a penalty. But we kept on sending cross after cross when their tall D's deflected many!!!
These are the times a good coach will send orders to vary the attacks. And its not as if we cant do any of those. We have plenty of players who can deliver those. It's just that their brains froze & the coaches never bothered!


I'm only sad bcoz we could have won this game easily. if only we had kept our emotions in check and focused.

Artacerxes life as iranian in general is very hard, we really dont have much what makes us happy, not inside iran, not in sports ... so much love for football but always the same ..

[webmaster]

If it wasn't for Sardar, Taremi would not even score in this cup. Sardar gave everything. He was never supplied with any balls and he still delivered.

So thanks Sardar and no thanks to Taremi because he has not shown anything for a long time. I supported him before anyone else did and now I end my support before anyone else.

We have so much potential as a nation in ALL aspects, not only in football, but will never give fruit as long as we are i.r occupied, and it breaks my heart real bad.

let give the guy some credit... did any of u really think we could reach Semis? haha i dont think so

he took a roster to the Asian cup to save his job ...and now he talks about adding more young players ??

.. in 2026, once again we'll see a Japan and S. Korea team do well because they do long term preparation.

Sardar was our MVP!
My only concern about him is his fitness

I agree

Losing to Japan would have been easier to stomach than this nightmare of a match. This was worse to watch than USA 2022 or KSA 2009 or Korea 2009

Having said all that! In order to go far in tournament, you also need luck on your side, despite how bad we played today, we didn't have luck in our side !

They were not mentally in the game, it all started with complaining about the ref's nationality and continued about complains that only 1000 ticket were allocated to the Iranian fans. We need to adjust our attitudes and psychologists to handle our players. Age and players are irrelevant, lost to Japan in last Asian Cup as all players started to run to ref to complain and this time seemed to also be about trying to find someone to blame instead of focusing on the game.

It all started from our degenerate coach making those comments

We didn't need luck if we played at our real level today.

I have followed Team Melli since 1996 AC and when we played Australia in the playoff for the last wc spot for France 98 and had 90% antiklimax.

I just realised how RARE it is to feel real joy as a Team melli fan, 28 years and i can count the happy times on only one hand.

Ac 1996 = demolished Saudi 3-0 and South Korea 6-2 in the group and lost to Saudi in PK in the semis. Antiklimax

Wc 98= A brainfart Nakisa that cost us the Yugoslavia game that in the end cost us the r16 . Antiklimax ( the USA win was sweet tho).

Wcq 2002 campaign = Total heartbreak whit the best ever iranian team that chokes against Bahrain and loses 3-1 that sends us to playoff whit Ireland instead of directly to the Wc who knocks us out and we miss wc 2002 whit the best squad we ever had. Antiklimax

Asian cup 2004= Chokes in the semis against China after a amazing win over South Korea 4-3 in the quarterfinal. Antiklimax

Wc 2006= Total disaster whit on paper a competent team whit a bundesliga backbone. Antiklimax

Ac 2007= Choke against South Korea in PK in the quarterfinal. Antiklimax

Wcq 2010 campaign = Total disaster and ends up fourth in a group whit South Korea, North Korea, Saudi and UAE and missed Wc 2010. Antiklimax

Ac 2011= Choke against South Korea in quarterfinal in AET. Antiklimax

Wc 2014= Choke in the last minute and lose the game against Argentina and missed 3 golden chanses to score in the game and gets demolished by Bosnia in the do or die game . Antiklimax

Ac 2015= Chokes against Iraq on penalties in the quarterfinal. Antiklimax

Wc 2018= Taremi chokes and misses the golden chanse against portugal to send us to the r16. Antiklimax

Ac 2019 = Chokes against Japan and get demolished 3-0 in the semifinal.Antiklimax

Wc 2022= Gets demolished by England 6-2 and chokes against USA and loses 1-0 when we only needed a DRAW to go to the r16 för the first time ever. Antiklimax

Ac 2023= Chokes against Qatar in the semifinal 3-2 and pissed away the easiest semifinal and potential final in decades to lift the trophy after 48 years. ANTIKLIMAX!!

We need fundemental changes that only can come whit a new government that is willing to invest in things that will help us erase our poor unstable chokementality.

The other 10% joy is for example the japan win, morocco win , Australia win in playoff, very rare moments of joy.

I am again so emotionally drained , you think it will be easier whit time, but damn I was wrong 💔

Bro, you nailed it and exactly the same year I started following this team. Before I had peace and it’s been nothing but disappointments since then and like you said, until these Regime is gone and players actually play for a country and people they love, it will be the same story over and over.
