IMO, waste of a first half. What did we get from these guys who will likely not play in the world cup or come in as subs. Play our damn starters because it is the starters that will be playing. Portugal, morocco, all playing strong line ups.

They need the experience. Long time between now and WC. Injuries happen. One of the hallmarks of CQ is having trained a good bench.

yea the guy who got stamped by massud was dirty prick... he was hacking our players left n right and the terrible ref was letting him get away with it..!!
that said shojaee shoulda show much more restraint ... if he pulls such a thing at WC, he will surely be sent off and put us under tremendous pressure..!

[GolfePersique]

I think with the way North Africans play we are gonna have a WC match with a red card and many yellows

Our left side was good (except amiri)

Our right side is weak

And Gucci is pretty uneffective

Bring in Rezaei and jahanbaksh

That's what I'm scared off. Ourplayers, paticularly Shojaei need to keep their calm, rather than trying to revenge.

I think next half CQ will make some changes then we can win however because of the rain and this ref this was not a good test

Shojaei commits too many fouls. He did it last world cup too.

In the WC the ref wouldn’t let the Tunisian players act like animals for 40 minutes

Overall, a seriously underwhelming performance from TM in the 1st half... way below potential, WAY below what's expected of a World Cup team, except maybe Saudi Arabia!

I get what CQ's trying to do here... he loves the whole underdog thing, he wants to come in and surprise the opponents during a tournament... it was a GREAT idea but it hasn't worked. So it's time to change mentality.

You have to come into the WC as a contender (like Costa Rica and Algeria in the last WC) or go home... to come in as a contender, you need "zahre cheshm". you have to show before the WC starts that you're not going to be no pushover.

So far, I haven't seen that since we qualified for the WC... it has been same old same old... I really hope things change and CQ does actually believes in himself and that our boys are going to pull a major upset in the WC and eliminate either Spain or Portugal!

Not a small task but in competitive sports you need believe in yourself and aim high... there is no other way IMHO.

Why did IFF accept to play on this pitch? It wouldn't have harmed to play Tunisia in Europe.

Also, why did they agree to let an Egyptian officiate this game. It's a bit like a Saudi officiating an ACL game between Perspolis and Al-Ain.

Oh I forget that we have a 5* federation.

the footing is loose AF & the overall playing conditions are horrible today ..!! barring a few really weak performers such as AK, everyone else did reasonably well..!!

i know it seems hard to get a goal but Reza must get a goal if he wanna stay significantly relevant in our WC scheme..!!

Rwing also needs a bit of adjustment as the Rezaiean and Ansarifard combo aint really clicking today..!

Amiri is scrappy and really rough on the edges, but no one can question his Workrate and the fact that(unlike Ansarifard and ali karimi) his presence is always felt on the pitch and he is always in the tick of all the action, especially on the LW
