Jalal is the 5th player in TM history to get 100 caps along legends Daei, Karimi, Neku,Kia.
We rarely praise him or have a appreciation thread for him. Is he a legend in your book (but just doesnt get the attention because of position he plays)...or a simply solid above average defender?

Since the year CQ came to coach TM (2011), Qatar sacked 5 coaches within 5 years and there's a high chance the current coach wont stay either. So basically 6 coaches. No wonder they haven't achieved anything. WC 2022 is probably Qatars only achievement in their football history.

Just wanted people opinion on this.
The latter. Iran's most successful generation in the 60's and 70's played in an era that had considerably less games than the current one so you can't always look at caps. If you look at caps for the best countries, you'll see players like Lukas Podolski outcapping German players who changed their football forever. It's just different time period.
I feel like we should look more at the pllayers that actually won competitions (albeit in a weaker asia than today) in the 60's and 70's as legends than some of our modern players. That being said Iran hasn't produced a great defender regardless of the era imo. Hosseini been an important player for Iran at this time though, that's for sure.
