October 6, 2016 Team Melli in Tashkent

But I also remember the argument about this goal was that although Nouri did not touch the ball, but since he was in a offside position, blocking the keeper's sight, according to then's new FIFA ruling, the goal had to be called off.

If I am not mistaken even on Navad they analyzed this closely and the referee specialist at the time said the call was clean and legit. However to many of us that legitimacy of that call still remains unclear.

That missed call changed so many things for TM.
Players like Rahmati and Aghili were no longer in TM afterwards.
CQ changed TM's style to catenaccio except against much weaker teams because we could not afford to lose a point but also had to take every point available.

Before that TM used to attack alot but the defense was so sooti even then.

Keep in mind that back in 2011 when our 2014 WCQ campaign started right up until the away Qatar game we all doubted our TM and CQs ability to qualify us to Brazil, why ?...we lost to Lebanon and Uzbekistan! We lost hope, what happened?? We won ALL three of our games and topped the group with a MUCH weaker "band aid" team, above South Korea that for the first time in 12 years barely made it to the WC!!! So have faith, lets see ALL this marathon through, Uzbek will slip up like Korea and Qatar, no team is ROCK solid, its just degrees of solidity and ours in close to 100%!....

Look how happy the Uzbeki players were with the referee that game. They went to celebrate with him!

What does that tell you?? that winning against Iran is NOT easy! is HARD and is the most amazing feat for Any Asian team!! So come October 6th they will have same fear , hopefully we can beat them and remind them we are not #1 for nought!!

one thing is for sure. we are not allowed to lose this match. i want minimum 2 points instead of 3 points out of this two matches. 4 points will be very good.

[Tehranto]

People here were laughing at Uzbekistan for having difficulty beating Syria first game, jow they beat Qatar in dying minutes they are world beaters?

We need to be logical and less irrational. And emptional. 4 points from two games will get us into world cup, relax.

[eerooni]

Every game is different for every team. Korea and even Uzbeksmight struggle with Syria in a home game but calmly beat Qatar away! So lets not think about this too much as EVERY team fears Iran , lets wait for Oct 6th

This is Mohammad Nouri goal that was called offside. Robbery.

The goal that was not given in Tashket is harder because it barely crossed the line. This goal was just robbed from us.

This is why people are somewhat suspicious of Arab refs and us. It's because of stuff like this, at least for those who are impartial and are just talking about games.

It's moments like this that why some Iranians have some problems with Arab referees. It's not unfounded or unjustified - although sometimes it represents the ugly stain of racism and goes beyond football. But in footballing terms, there is some reason to be suspicious.

Mark my word, we will have a tough game on October 6, 2016, losing to Uzbekistan is away. I would say 65% for Uzbek to win and 30% for Iran to tie and 5% for Iran to win.

We are doomed.

and 100% for you being wrong, badjoor.

They take long shot and almost all of them are in target and they are very good team in the air.

None of them were on target and WE were good in the air. Bro, it's better for you stop predicting.
