Iran vs. Kyrgyzstan Nov. 19th WCQ Match Thread

[Damavand]

[Hosseini]

Where can we watch the full game?

[Karimi 8]

As pisses as I am form these two last matches I gotta say wow that last goal we scored was unreal. Has to be the nicest assist of Milad’s career, the way he moved the ball around the defender and on his very usually weak right foot and such a strong header from Azmoun.

God we are so cooked. Now if we want to fire GN it's with our two most critical games ahead of us with Uzbek and UAE left. Really for anything to change, he needs to go? Also what the fuck is Macaroni doing with our defense?

My exact thought...everyone kept talking about macaroni being in charge of defense like 15 months ago...but what happened?

Feels like we are constantly:

• Conceding set pieces
• Leaving attackers unmarked
• Beiro still holds the ball like he has anxiety when he gets a back pass
• Last ditch efforts leading to constant red cards,
• And most importantly our defensive transition is akin to me eating a ghablome of ash reshte the night before I have to run 100m in Olympics.

IFF vaghean riid with this TM coach and staff, they are literally useless. Not to mention I just looked at TM goalkeeping coach and its some random no-name dude whose most impressive part of his resume is being gk coach at Tractor for a few years. No wonder Beiranvand looks like he just took 10 mg of xanax during every match

Media is already well against him. Even IRIB.

Irib is almost ready to show a 90 classic replay,
Prosecution of general 2007 episode.

He is "TAHDIG MACARONI" SHODEH.

[Hosseini]

He might be better as head coach tbh. I still think Morais would have been our best bet

Iran is on the top of qualifying table which is a happy news but the reality is that we have not seen a single convincing game so far where the team has played as a cohesive unit and displayed a proper plan and strategy. It has been at best a hurray hurray tactic which has produced favorable results against not so strong opponents with luck playing a major role in some of those games (i.e.last two games).. running out of luck is a question of time.

Some of you may ask how is it then possible to be on the top of table if performance has not been all that great. The answer is simple! It has been the legacy experience of our key players that has carried the team this far and Nothing Else!

GN has convinced me that this responsibility to lead the team is way over his head.

I adore biravand being so relax all the time, now I know why

I wonder if its a symptom of being rich now or just getting older, he looks and plays with so much anxiety now. I went back and looked at how he was defending in 2018-2020 and he had so much anger and fierceness from the back then.

Same with Saeed he's not nearly as fast and aggressive as he was in 2017-2020.

I think this team is mentally done tbh some players like Beiro, Kanaani, Milad, Saeed, and Alireza look so anxious on the field compared to how they used to play

With all due respect to hejazi fans and abedzadeh fans(me), but we can argue biravand is best goali in iran history. Unfortunately his character turns people off.

For a goali to be calm and relax imo is priceless. Mentally he is a beast.what media and fans have put him through a lot of goalies will just collapse(Hamed lak tough boy in tears over fans bashing is perfect example ). BIRAVAND JUST GOT BETTER....

his character makes fans don't give him credit.

It’s simple. Skocic 2.0. Riding the great attacking unit producing goals and getting results. Problem is Skocic had no party from legacy TM players but GN is their general so Skocic was out and GN will stay.

This is exactly it. Facing garbage third tier Asian teams who park the bus and random African teams is hiding the fact that our defense is wide open. I don't know how anyone can look at this team and not be GN out, he's a scam artist.

We've conceded 16 goals in 18 games btw with majority of them against HK, NK, Kyrg, Syria, Burkina Faso, Qatar, and Palestine. If I go back a few more games we will find goals conceded against Kenya and Afghanistan too.

Now imagine facing EUFA/CONMEBOL/top CONCACAF/top AFCON countries at WC.

I'm over here wondering if its worth getting tickets to see TM in 2026 at WC because we are literally walking into an embarrassment .

Feels like we all see the ship crashing but instead of saving passengers we are just saluting goodbye looool
