We have good replacement for him. When Esteghlal played Al-Saad, Noorafkan put Xavi in his back pocket

[TheBoss]

I think most people don't know about how good Noorafkan can be since they don't follow PGPL closely. Dude has a bright future

As a Pan-Iranist....


Uzbekistan going to the world cup would be really cool... ":]

I think it's time to put Ezzatollahi aside for a while. I'm not saying that only because of what he did in this game but I have seen his decline slowly coming during the past few TM games. He hasn't progressed much for a year or 2 and I'd say he's rather regressed. Lack of playing time at Rostov or what ever reason it is, he needs a wake up call to realize if he doesn't take care of himself and try harder, he might miss the WC all together! He needs to realize: 1. Get professional in your mind and learn from today's incident. 2. try hard to get your a$$ into Rostov's starting 11. If you have tried hard, you need to increase that a level or 2.

I think we have played with a different squad in every match this round of qualifiers correct? never the same starting 11.

when a player is in the air and going down and grabs your head or your face, it can be very bad experiene or your neck. You may lose your thoughts and think a dirty wild animal has tried to grab you. it is natural to have reflex and fight back. The korean guy was a jakass street boy and should not have initiated it and should have apologized but instead he made made a drama. Even beore the game started I was thinking this may happen with a referee being a redneck.

[RaginG Inferno]

Noorafkan should start against Syria.

Noorafkan wasn't that good in U20 WC.

[RaginG Inferno]

Noorafkan wasn't that good in U20 WC.

Agree - but he's been good for SS.

[TheBoss]

Noorafkan wasn't that good in U20 WC.

He joined the team late as Esteghlal wouldn't release him, he did not train with the U20 team. He was literally the last person to join the team. Also the coach was that dumbass Amir Hossein Peyrovani. What do you expect for the guy to do in that situation? no training with the team, last person to join and awful coach. Watch PGPL

[St_Mark]

Good result for M and CQ
Congratulations IRAN.

Hope for another victory next game.

I watched this game in Ahwaz with Friends and Family without stress.

Ezatolahi - 0
Milad - 9
CQ - 10

Korea's best player - the ref

[Leopard]

Noorakan is ok but he and Cheshmi and anyone else from SS at this point in time are demoralized by Mansoorian's result. This is not the best time to use them. Psychological toll or effect of losses of a team tears a player and makes him lose his confidence. A Saipa player or one from Parse jonoobi would do a lot better.

Some comments on my side:

• I think there is no doubt that the game itself was extremely unattractive, but strategically we showed an awesome performance. At the end of the day, the results and records matter and not the attractiveness of the game. Nevertheless, the boys showed often enough in the previous games that they are able to play attractive football and create several chances.

• Well done once again to CQ for mastering that generation change! Our defense players and DMs are extremely young (between 20 and 27 with Rezaeian being the oldest one), they’ve never played together in this formation before and still they managed to avoid one of the best teams in Asia (playing at home with one man up) to have A SINGLE SHOT ON TARGET. That’s insane!

• I don’t want to talk too much on single player’s performance. Yes, Ezzatollahi did a mistake. Still, I believe in him as our best option for his position. Due to him being suspended for the next game, CQ anyway has to try another option – let’s see how that goes.

• A completely different topic: I read through some of the comments in BigSoccer Forum’s thread for today’s match and oh boy, what the hell are some of our fans thinking? No wonder people don’t like us! Some of the Iranian members on BigSoccer Forum are extremely childish and stupid! If anyone of you guys here are the one writing that he hopes us losing to Syria so that they qualify, shame on you! These types of comments don’t make us look any better than Saudis and Bahrainis or whomever else faking results in favor of each other. Persians are known as hospitable, friendly, just and noble people. These kinda idiotic comments just ruin our image. Khejalat to whomever writing such BS on international forums!

• All in all, congrats guys for keeping our record! Let’s hope on an attractive and experimental game against Syria! I don’t think it will happen, but I would love to see Azadi packed one more time and I really hope Ghoddos gets to play.
