2016 U23 Asian Cup MD 2: 15/01/2016: Iran - Qatar; Time, Date, Info and Report

[Z Joon]

Anything but a win against the weakest team will be disastrous. Mayeli said he doesn't want to learn how to become 5th in a 4 team group from CQ. Now that would truly be being 5th out of 4 teams.

Also Japan will be waiting for us in the elimination round!!! Scary stuff.

Japan hasn't been very good, Qatar has been more impressive overall, but hopefully we play the best 11 we have and we should have no problems.

They looked completely lost today, nothing worked it was really terrible

[persian-eagle-13]

the ref has been very good today. no excuse

[Tehranto]

Torabi is fantastic.

The guys look so tired. Did they have a late night? What the hell is this crap?

[arasradio]

WHY HE DIDN'T START WITH TOURABI AND KAMANDANI?

I don't understand. Is Khakpour trying to save our main players for the next stage like preventing TOURABI from receiving cards, a physical player?

It's like he handed this win by not playing main players.

Tactical loss? Maybe!

Look at the numbers of attacks we made after KAMANDANI and TOURABI came in.

Nevertheless, Qatari team is a good team. Good goalie. Quick on counter attack.

And guys the referee didn't get a 100% penalty for Qatar and was on our side today but we failed to capitalize!

Don't worry, experience shows our team usually wins a cup when Iran loses a match in group stage.

We were a bit unlucky too.

I think Khakpour came in for a draw to keep his key players but his strategy failed dramatically. Can't wait for DD's analysis in this one

[diz]

now we're just unlucky...so many bounces in front of the goal, but no goal for TM

[mahestan]

I thought we would beat Qatar with ease and then rest key players in the China match. LOL.

pfffft, this Iranian soccer we are talking about here, it's always an emotional roller coaster. I predict Iran will beat China, but Syria will end up beating Qatar which will leave us in the dumps and not advance.

[Camran khan]

Seriously I can't come up with any reason for Torabi not starting today..

[Z Joon]

Torabi is dribbling all Qatari players for fun, shame he didn't start he could've made a big difference even with the terrible tactics. He is definitely one level above the rest of this team

[persian-eagle-13]

finally goooooaaaaalllllll iran

Win a cup? When was the last time we won a cup?

[mahestan]

Khakpour was trying to be cute and rest him, then realized "oh shit, I need to do damage control". Why do we constantly under estimate Arab opponents? He should've set up his best line up and gone in guns blazing.

[Esteghlali4life]

Goal!!!

[diz]

[Bessos]

The moment when we could have tied 2-2 now.
