Friendly Game: Iran - Japan @ Azadi Stadium, Tehran; 13-10-2015

I thought the penalty call was kinda BS, but hey I'll take it. Lets hope TM doesnt bunker in 2nd half.

PP call was good in my point of view. Japanese defender tripod himself and in process tripod Torabi.

I knew Dejagah would miss. He is no Nekunam. We need another penalty taker. Hosseini perhaps?

relax the keeper saved it well, he had a good peanlty, dejagah was good the whole first half, just miss a peanlty chill

TORABI- smashes in the rebound after dejagahs good pk is saved. HALF TIME. Iran 1-0 Japan. Dominant Iran, great performance, better chances, better play, and Japan playing all their Legionarres, (honda-AC Milan, Kagawa- Dortmund, Sakai - Schalke, Yoshida - Southampton, Okazaki - Leicester, Hasebe- Frankfurt, etc,etc). And we have a deserved lead. Amiri dejagah torabi have all been excellent along with all of the defense. Azmoun has given 100% but just not been his day so far in front of goal.

I bet you Japan will become Germany quality second half I assure you.

I would've let Ebrahimi take it. Atleast he hits it real hard!

Everyone is always on their period.... 5 years ago we would have constructive posts, now no one even bothers to post cause PFDC has been taken over by emotional 16 year old kids...

What's up with this racism?

Anyway, Ezzatolahi has played great, as I said in the game against Oman, Ando needs to wrap it up, he's a beast and I love him but he is affecting our speed of play, look at how fast we are moving the ball today.

I still dont understand where Torabi's position is, but this kid gives it his all in every position. He has 3 goals in 5 appearances.

It was clear that the weather was really horrible in Oman, Dejagah is a whole different beast today.

Prayers during half time...wtf. Only irib...

I understand it can be frustrating during a game but you have to respect it.

Was that Japan everyone was talking about? xD

[Bessos]

I quite don't know CQ's love of Torabi ... what does he do real well?

What you just saw ;D

[AIrani]

Good game so far.

Young players are doing fine.

Azmoon missed a 100% chance.

Good result so far.

Iran can play and is doing fine.

Good half by TM! I'm impressed, I know it's just a friendly, but still, we perform better than Japan here and yet after one bad game we have members here saying 'We lack the talent to be able to pass the ball vs Oman'

What are you on about? Writing a fact comment doesn't mean I am not relaxed dude. I didn't say he played bad.

[Keano]

Get ready for a complete defensive football by TM in the second half!

So do you admit all teams can have their shaky days?

I think it's dangerous to compare, this is a friendly meant for the coaches to test new things etc... can't expect both teams to play with their best strategy at these games

All Torabi joking aside, it's been a very good performance. The pace in transition from the moment we win the ball is fantastic to see and it's largely coming from the new faces like Rezaeian, Amiri, Torabi and we still have Taremi of course. These are the players who will be peaking in the coming few years so it's definitely worth getting excited about.

Japan haven't been up to much at all but that's largely down to our relentless pressing too, credit to all the team for that as it's starting from Azmoun and every player is putting their shift in to press the ball. Impressed with Ebrahimi and Eza's use of the ball too.
