Iran vs. Uzbekistan Oct. 10th WCQ Match Thread

[Pluto2000]

And you couldn’t beat them after 100 minutes. Go take care of your kids. All of them…

1 goal in 42 shots for TM 😀

The results and general play so far give you the impression that we will qualify for the WC while at the same time making abundantly clear that we will do nothing while there

I know some here won’t like my comment, but I thought Ezzie was the best player on the field.

[Artaxerxes]

The entire world is against Iran and Iranians, even Iranians are against Iranians

Iranians against iranians?

Only iranians that are against so called iranians is against those vatanforoush iranians aka I.R filths

He's always decent. Just can't shine without proper instructions or system

[Nokhodi]

Reading these comments after missing most of the 2nd half is wild.
Histrionics galore.

Any highlight videos?

Saw a shot of the Iran bench near the end of the match and to my delight, Hooman Afzeli was sitting, chilling there with legs wide open like a medieval kings.

That moment, something clicked in my head, and I have completely lost faith.

Any team that has these type of people on it's bench is a lost cause.

lol everyone is so dramatic blaming IR or whatever after every bad thing.

Just say GN riid with his tactics and selections and call it a good day. We actually got better second half after Hardani red card and Azmoun got subbed out

My dream of Saman starting rb in wc was shattered today...not a a good rb choice.

[KhumoUzbek]

I think it was very poor performance by both teams. Both of them didn't meet my expectations. Not sure which team has been lucky to get a point today.

[persiandream]

So bummed out about the penalty :/ I was so ecstatic when the ref pointed to the spot right away. I hypothesize he thinks the ball hit gholi hand first, not that the uzbek defender arm was in natural position

Even if it had hit gholizadehs hand, it was in front of his leg or balls and not off his body..was a clear penalty..even with VAR we got robbed

It is no coincidence Iran played better with 10 than with 11. We are not a Team able to dominate. Since Queiroz took over we learned to defend, to maintain discipline under pressure and to rely on counter attacks. Most players still got that. GN tries to enable players to dominate the game. Being dumb, he uses players like Milad, mohebbi and jahanbaksh who are fast and physically strong but weak in passing. This worked out against Japan as we were the underdog. But against defensive teams this is nonsense. If he wants to dominate, he needs players like Ghaedi, Gholi, Mehdi , Saman and Ali Karimi. Besides that:
Nemati was ok
milad was good
Hardani lacks experience
Saeid was good
Ghaedi and gholi were good
nourafkan was not bad at lb

GN at least did one good Move bringing mimo at rb.

Sardar should come off the bench atm.
ghaedi shoud play, gholi too
Jahanbakhsh needs to be transfered to cm, imo his defensive skills are better than his offense at this stage of his career

Line up
Beiranvand
Mimo somebody nemati nourafkan
Arj ezzza saman

Gholi. Taremi. Ghaedi


In case we are leading mohebbi is an option for counter attacks, in case we need a goal sardar comes in

My dream of Saman starting rb in wc was shattered today...not a a good rb choice.

Lacked speed, he is over 30 now. I also doubt he can make it as winger and cam nowadays. CM is his position
