Did anyone notice that during the fight between Azmoun and Kiyotake and the following riots, Japan's CB Morishige dared to push CQ away?

It looked like CQ grabbed his wrist and put his hand on his chest...

[Irandoost1984]

I feel sad watching this game. We werent structured nor dynamic. We looked like an amator european team playing.

[H.Behzadi FAN]

Dynamic ??
If Azmoun had scored his two chances ... and a couple of crosses were in better , we would have won by a 2-3 goal margin .
May be you watch Barcelona, Man City and Bayern a lot . LOL

About the articles gentlemen...

It is/was not my intention to offend anyone, so my apologies if I did. Martin fixed the tittle and I fully respect that and agree with him as the body of the article was a better place to make that statement and maintain a more balanced view overall with an additional qualifier to that statement which Martin was kind enough to add.

As far as the statements in the other article that Iran had its worst ever standing at a WC (28th vs 14th, 20th and 25th in previous WC's) and Asian Cup (6th vs. 1st to 5th in other Asian Cups), this was previously discussed and is based on the Wiki article on TM and the overall tournament rankings based on FIFA ranking procedures for the group stage - the only way one can rank the teams objectively IMHO. Any other ranking or statement as to the final standing of, or overall performance of Iran in these tournaments would be subjective and matters of opinion.

I want Team Melli to be doing well as much as the next guy and have praised our performance when it has been deserving of it. But that doesn't change the fact that our results against Oman and Turkmenistan were poor or that our overall performance in this campaign is now the 2nd worst WCQ performance in the 1st group stage. Putting a positive spin on that would be a lot more subjective IMHO than statistics and/or stating the facts - although I appreciate that some people disagree with that.

This is of course all my own personal opinions and I fully respect all of Martin's decisions as the Editor in Chief of PFDC about individual sections of any articles or the overall direction he wants to maintain - that's actually the 1st question I ever asked him and I'm sure he'll do a great job in balancing the presented views on PFDC as he always has or did here.

They are all filmed in HD, it's their satellite broadcast that is not HD, which TBH is quite pathetic and embarrassing for an oil-rich county like Iran.

Benching Shojai, Taremi and Ando was a great move. Look at our team performances getting good all of a sudden. I begin to cheer for this torobche Torabi!

They don't even have the infrastructure and refineries to refine their own gasoline, and have to import gasoline. What makes you think they have the capability to utilize their natural resources to their full potential? They got the reserves, but can't utilize the reserves in the same manner that the other Persian Gulf countries can. Iran hasn't built a new refinery since the late 70s early 80s, I doubt we will see HD broadcasting in Iran anytime soon.

He was good. He is tall and well built, with more time, he can replace Nekonum.

Amiri did very well. He won the ball many times and kept Japanese busy. Torabi also was good.

Azmoon needs to focus and do not get into fight especially in a friendly game.

To be honest, Saeed seemed like someone who had played with the team for a long long time. I was really impressed. He played with a minimal amount of errors and has a imposing presence (190 cm ! ) in the field. I think that he should be incorporated into the team as our new "Nekounam".

This match made me very hopeful for our future.
Torabi (21), Ezatolahi (19), Azmoun (20), Jahanbakhsh (22), PAG (23), Taremi (23) are already becoming our key players.

Kudos to CQ to make the inclusion of the abovementioned as smooth as possible. However, I wish that CQ would incorporate Alishah (23) into the team.

GO Iran!

But still, do you not believe that Iran is relatively a rich country?

Oh I do agree with you, Iran has a lot of potential and can be extremely wealthy. Just wanted to elaborate on your comment a little so other forum members who aren't as aware of it don't think it is something that can be done over night.

Japanese fans tribute to Hadi Norouzi.

[Camran khan]

For those saying stupid things like 'our players don't have the talent to hold posession vs teams like Oman', TM had 57% posession vs Japan according to Flashscore.com

Posession is not really important though.
