U-23 Championship (2015 WAFF)

[BacheLot]

0-0 HT

Syria was the better team so far but Omid mostly dominated the proceeding late in the half

who is our Number 18..!!?

that kid shows tremendous, composure, awareness and in general Football Smarts ...!! i like to see him adapted to AM position..! he is a bit of a ball hog but so are most young players, until their game matures a bit.

[Team Melli Fan]

& these refs have been horrible all tournament long. Can't wait to leave this biased association.

How is Pahlevan benched anyways

Something is wrong with lineup and game plan.
Chaab selection was wrong for this kind of games.

Yeah, we should play Afghanistan and Tajikistan more often. At least the referees of Central Asia will not test us to the limit. Sarcasm off

18 = Fazeli and I think he is playing as attacking midfielder - as attacking as you can get in a defensive 4-1-4-1 anyway!

[The Realist]

Iran can only improve in the second half. but they should change this Loftball Root 1 tactic.

Hopefully they will win this but this team and style of play has a long way to go to become a Olympic contender.

Based on first half how many of our so called Anti-CQ Karshenas will be criticising Khakpoor/MK. Anti-CQ is avendetta focused and most probably coming from Ministry of Sports or Vezarate Varzesh.

[Bi-honar]

Did I just see Mohammadi? He replaced Fazeli?

Seriously, that bald Syrian guy looks like he could be the father of our U23 players

[Nokhodi]

Ali Karimi look so pale and his lips are dry and white. Is he dehydrated or sick?

[Team Melli Fan]

These kids need some discipline. Stop trying to dribble past everyone and string some passes together. We're not covering defensively either, just ball watching.
