DPR Korea vs. Iran Nov. 14th WCQ Match Thread

[The]

The slurs I am calling GN and Shoja right now would shock even the KKK.

[Golefarsi]

Guys even if we are down to 10 men it dont mean we should play like this... It was the same against UZB and Syria. Its bad management in the end, as simple as that.

[Karimi 8]

That would require having a brain

Lol funny thing is anyone who has played a FIFA game knows this is the change to make when you get a red but our “coach” doesn’t

[perspolis#1]

If there was any hope of us doing something at the World Cup this game should have beat it death before our eyes.

This was North Korea a team that does not have resources but still puts a fighting spirit.

At the World Cup, teams will have resources, fighting spirit, and actual tactics.

Only good news from this game is the points and that Shoja is suspended next game.

That would lead to a younger CB getting a shot anywhere but knowing GN Cheshmi will start at CB

Yep...who in their right mind subs out a midfielder for a CB when you have 2 strikers 🤣🤣

We're so cooked tactically and game management wise

[Karimi 8]

We had to grassroll against North Korea to win, let that sink in.

I have to say out of the national teams I’ve seen play, Iran has one of the weakest mentalities I’ve ever seen. Stupid, totally wreckless red, yes. But utter collapse, last to every ball, over hit crosses and passes, zero man marking? A red card has a huge effect on the game yes, but against a team where the country doesn’t have internet, you shouldn’t completely collapse as a team immediately. One of the weakest mentalities ever

Who says there was any management present in second half ..!!?
Most times this clown for coach just throws 11 players out there & just hopes for best..! Praying they can make him look good by scrapping result ..!

GN is just like that one old guy captain in your Sunday league football game who is Best/Only? good attribute is knowing which players to pick on his team to have the best balance in order to overmatch the other side.
The rest is all by the way…!

He has less coaching skill than a teenager playing fifa. Even a child when they got a red playing online wouldn’t sub off a midfielder instead of a ST during that point lol

100% next game the CB will be Kanaani - Nemati or Cheshmi - Nemati

[Artaxerxes]

Under CQ we won against SOUTH Korea 1-0 whit 10 men after Shojaeis red card and under GN we almost lost 5-3 to NORTH Korea after being up 3-0 whit 10 men......

Let that sink in

[PersianLion80]

For this game this javad bisavad GN will just blame it on the red card and get away with the excuse . This will probably be the worst World Cup in Iran’s history …

[AhuraMazda1]

Fallah and Hazbavi are average so please stop with the Shoja is awful talk. Shoja is the best we have. Javad needs some minutes! So does Saharkhizan. Jahanbakhsh: rahm kon raha kon TM.

[Damavand]

OK, Hardani handicapped us agsinst Uzbekistan and now Shoja crippled us against N Korea. And unlike the Uzbekistan game, the team completely fell apart after the send off.

I have also said that Shoja is too old and will be even more accident prone in two years time. GN will pay dearly for not introducing younger players such as Hazbavi.

Such a great first half performance turned out to be a nightmare scare in the second.

This team needs a ton of work to be ready at the WC and now I don’t see the stubborn GN getting the job done.

Shoja is not the best we have. He's not even best CB at tractor, it's Aghasi.

He's literally slow, mistake prone, and always cramping with a bad attitude going 36 years old.

Literally 0 upsides in playing him over a younger player.

Zare who has also been a stud in league (21 years old) got dropped along with Saharkhizan so there's that too

[FeLFeL]

Yall are so quick to get your panties in a bunch. Ugly game, horrible pitch, but we walked away with 3 pts. And yes GN is not a world class coach. If you needed this game to realize that, then that's on you! Onto the next one.
