Iran vs Portugal - Post Match Discussion/Player Ratings
Man I forgive Taremi for both misses but will be stock in my head for a while.. It happens but dam it hurts! We were so close to making history. I wished he would have curved it to right few more inches. Oh well. Its over now.
Group of DEATH.
World Champions & twice Euro champions
Reigning Euro champions
Africa's top 3 team
... and we had a chance to TOP that group!!
I repeat, TOP a group with spain, portugal & morocco in it.
When the draw was made, we were all terrified (aside from whistling in the dark bravado).
Before the tourny, many didnt give us a chance to get more than 1 point.
I, myself, said I think getting TWO points from this group is an achievement.
And we ALMOST TOPPED the freaking group!
Kudos to CQ and the lads. You have to admire them no matter what
Why didn't we play with the red jersey as we did against Spain? CQ got some explaining to do! the Power of Red Jersey was the only missing ingredient
The game can be divided to two halves;
before the penalty, and after Beiranvand's save. The momentum changed entirely and for that reason I give him 8.5 points. 0.5 deduction for that push and argument, 1 point deduction since it's easy to criticize him for not saving that goal. frankly, I think he boosted the teams' confident a lot. My son looked at me as soon as penalty was called and we both knew it's over.... 1 goal is a lot but to score 3 goals to win was too much and he changed the game!

he'd have scored that in domestic league, against iranian clubs.
thats why we need our lads to play big names and big teams, to maintain focus and not lose the head.
Taremi had bad touches this game. Only way taremi would have scored that last play was a de gea blunder or to take a quick touch dribble and shoot it with his right into other side of the net. Taremi held the ball too long in many instances and lost it this game. His workrate was second to none. Besides fighting incident between beiro and saeed and few shaky moments but beiro early on, we did well. Ref deserves to go to hell. He ruined the game. Had no control. VAR crew were bad. If Ronaldo got a penalty we should gave had 3 this game. Ref proved without a doubt, Ronaldo and Portugal are more important than the rules or fairness. Qaresma desrerved a red too for his foul on saeed. He better be sent home. Ref deserves a red card and a lifetime ban. Long live Iran, long live TM, our players and long live Carlos Queiroz
