POST-MATCH DISCUSSION | vs. UAE - Asian Cup 2015

[Abbas85]

Har Har har!! no shit captain obvious! You think you're sooooo funny. Abtin ghorboonet bereh.
My point was that "the 12th man" is something that is usually referred to the fans of Seattle Seahawks where i live! I'm actually right now wearing a 12th man shirt since we wont last night and are going to the Superbowl.
I just found it interesting that Gucci was using that term too, I wasn't sure if it was a universal term!


btw, alaph is as legal as alcohol where i live! You know, the city that makes your airplanes, your softwares etc. You wanna live in some backwards dumb shit state/country who puts you in a cage for exercising your right as a human being and expanding your consciousness , thats your choice. Now you just sound like an idiot.

Chad bro chill. I smoke too, and I was just making a joke but GAWD DAMN you took that way too defensively. Here, I got just the solution....*passes Alaph the joint*

POST-MATCH DISCUSSION | vs. UAE - Asian Cup 2015

Regardless of style of play, that was a hell of a good ending.

I was telling my mum how there is no way TM would score in extra time, as UAE are good at time wasting and will be looking to wasting time to finish of the match. Out of no where this ball dink out Ando and heading towards Nekounam. I said f*ck as he missed but then Gucci tucked it away. straight away I shouted OFFSIDE as ball went in to the back of the net, but in the back of my mind I was praying that the flag didn't go up. Well it didn't, and I went crazy shouting GOOOAAALLL at almost 9pm at night.


What a climax!

Hi Guys,
I wish you were all there last night. It was only 11,000 people but we made some good noise and that party outside was awesome.
Here are some videos of the celebrations outside. Thats me with the Iran jester hat and the red boogh. So much fun.

Im struggling to embed the videos so I will just post some links.

We still have CQ critics?!

I don't know if we had the "perfect" game plan with 4 shots on target and a 91st minute goal, but we certainly didn't have a terrible or bad game plan either. It was the same game plan as almost every other game under CQ: Concentrate on defense and take advantage of the opponents defensive lapses.

I was actually pretty content with how we played until around the 65 minute mark. Sure our set-plays were sub par last night, but we rested a few of our players, gave a few youngsters a chance and still had UAE fully neutralized.

But considering that finishing 2nd in the group would have had grave consequences for TM, we should have started pushing up a bit and pressing more around that time rather than leaving it until the 82nd minute.

UAE didn't really have anything to threaten us and their defense was pretty shaky. If it was a stronger team and we didn't have to win this game, there was nothing wrong with the game plan at all.

Man don't you know? There is a anti-CQ brigade, they are the bad guys, the villains. Then we have the pro-CQ group, they are the superheroes, always here to save the world from CQ haterz, they rule the game

agha i really dont understand what the people are talking about...me too i am happy who wouldnt be after a 92 minute goal but we got lucky big time. this was so uninspiring and such a bad performance when practically our whole tournament depended on it that i want to go back and delete my post saying we have such a strong team. if this is not anti football i dont know what is, we are more than happy to let other teams play just imagine what would happen if the other team decides to use the same strategy. thank god the results are there because the performance is seriously lacking.

JB did nothing noteworthy. I understand why CQ has kept him on the bench.

He had an off day! But he is more lethal than Azmoun!!

I set it as public so I am hoping you can all see it.

One of the worst games I've ever seen us play. How we got the win amazes me.

[KasraKhan]

I don't agree with the several members that were critical of Rafiei and Amiri. I thought both of them did well.

Rafiei - he looks to be a good playmaker with an eye for a nice through ball. Gave a few nice long chips and through balls to Amiri/Azmoun. Also, he was good defensively and was doing the dirty work (which CQ requires).

Amiri - he ran his behind off and I'd be surprised if he didn't cover the most ground on our team. He was fast, lively, and hungry. I love these fast players CQ is introducing like Ghafouri and now, Amiri. Sure Amiri was inaccurate with his final touch at times, but he showed promise. And heck, I was even critical of his selection before the match. He could play the LW position like it's meant to be played.

Fact is, with our A-team, ALL of our attacks come from the right, usually through Ashkan. Yesterday, most of our attacks originated from the left, through Rafiei and Amiri. Even when Ashkan came on, the left was still active. We need to balance our attacks and these two can help us do that.

Khorsow Heidari has been a huge disappointment in this tournment so far

Omar Abdulrahman...

It pains me to give a Gulf player this much credit but this kid is something else. He's the best asian player i've ever seen play. literally every time he touched the ball, something magical would happen for them. he's 50% of their team. and this is considering that he's playing against a truly world-class defensive system that took lionel messi out of a game. this kid belongs in europe...if we thought Arab money ruined OUR players, he is proof that their own players are ruined by their leagues.

Couldnt agree more. This kid to me is an absolute phenomenon.

The number of no look passes, chips and long balls that landed perfectly at his team mates feet is something you hardly even see in Europe.

I would so love to see this guy play in Europe to really gauge how good he is. I can honestly say I have not seen many players in my life that play as beautifully as he does. His left boot is nuts

This was such a bad game by JB
