FIFA World Cup 2018 Qualifying: Oman - Iran @ Sultan Qaboos, Muscat; 08-10-2015

[AIrani]

Given poor play of Iran, the result is good.

Oman had a better control of the ball than Iran and they had two to three more chances than Iran to score.

Iran's mid-field is weak. Substitutes did not do much.

really painful to se your national team play tokhmi like this!!!

All I ever want to see from TM is smart and simple football. We always complicate things for ourselves. Why at this level we can't pass properly is beyond unbelievable. All in all very disappointing game. Keeping in mind that there was a humidity of 90%

[Zamboor]

To be fair that's a pretty impressive result.

Exactly guys who think we should have won this game by 5-0 are delusional. We lost the last time against them and we got lucky that we didnt lose this time. simple as that

Bad performance, okay result, which secures us our first spot.

did any one have issue with footballitarin? the game almost ended and their streaming didn't start!

i think they were set up originally for the official live feed of the game, but since irib had not paid for the rights of the broadcast last time and were denied access this time, footbalitarin couldnt broadcast as well..!
irib ended up stealing an Arab feed, thats why you could hear arab commentary in the background the whole time..!! footbalitarin probably didnt have a back up plan..!!?

jordan beat australia 2-0, we were poor but we still faught, and didnt give up, we had 2 shots all game which one was goal, we missed gucci, and jahanbaksh alot, i think hajsafyi is still playing poor after his club performences

i swear to god, taremi drives me fucking crazy

[CHaMiLLionaire]

Thank god we kept the draw, we would've been in all sorts of trouble if we lost. Now we can regroup and refocus. Basically we need to beat Guam in Guam, and we will have secured qualification to the second round(assuming our home games against Turkeminsitan and India will be wins). Oman will just be to see who will be first and who will be second.

Again, the boys seemed tired and the field didn't help at all, ball was very bouncy and even spain couldn't pass the ball on the ground. Doesn't explain why we were lackluster in the first half, we should've pressed in the first half like we did in the second half after we conceded. Anyway, i'll take a draw.... A humidity of 90% didn't help either.

A few pointers:

Its time for Ando to wrap it up... I love him, but he can't start anymore..

We need a CAM badly, Dejagah doesn't fit the bill(he was very tired and temperamental today)

Sardar and Taremi need time to gel, and Alishah needs some playing time.

I just hope with JB's return we will have a more solid line up.

Hajsafi is not a LB, please find someone else.... the goal we conceded was a copy of the goals that we conceded against Iraq- the far right post where an LB should have things covered.


Haghighi needs some playing time in his club, this game shows how out of form he is... Beirenvand is there to give him some competition.


Finally, hats off to Hosseini- what a man, what a beast.... always saves us during untimely moments and always delivers. We will miss him in a few years.

good result, all considering
but terrible performance

[football.club]

today the mastermind (the man behind TM) CQ, that always complain and complain about everything managed to luckily draw FC Oman-lona. In this game FC Oman-lona played alot of Tiki-taka which made it difficult for CQ to respond. FC Oman-lona even introduced their new player "Pogba" which had a good day.

The new training ground for TM should be zamin khaki or a kabir somewhere in Kerman so they can adapt this difficult weather conditions.

[DireStraits]

I have never seen TM so unstructured. Looked like we never practiced. Players could not find each other. Oman is no push over. We will see that in future

[teammelli91]

Well, there's not much to say about the game.

It wasn't one of our best games. Reminded me of the 2014 WCQ away match in Bahrain in the same round.

Oman played very well and took advantage of the opportunities they had.

This marked the 2nd time our left backs had to run back only in time to watch us concede a goal. Last time against Iraq.

It's funny how after we scored we pushed forward. I don't get why we didn't push forward at the beginning.

Anyways, not much to say. The draw result away from home was good. It's all up to goal difference and the game in Azadi against Oman.
