AFC Asian Cup 2019 Semi Final: Iran - Japan; Info, Updates & Live Reports (28.01.19)
Iran had the best chance of the game. A sloppy start in some ways but grew into the game after about 25 minutes. I predict a much more solid half from Iran. My only worry is Amiri possibly getting a second yellow.
our boys have played well. Keep playing compact and break away when opportunities are there. Japan is more likely to be tired before us.
I like to see more action from ARJ.
Amiri has to be careful with his fouls. can't afford going down to 10 men. Ebrahimi too.
- Japan dominated first 10 minutes or so, then we took over for 15 minutes, then 50-50 for the rest
- Dejagah has been well covered and is playing with anger (not his usual self)
- Amiri has been poor, no offensive threat, stupid yellow, we are missing Taremi
- Mohammadi solid on defense
- Ebrahimi getting a yellow is a big blow since he is a CDM and needs to be aggressive
- Azmoun is running so much I’m worried he’ll gas out, what a run though 2 nutmegs!
- not much from Jahanbaksh
Hoping to see Ghoddos, Ansarifard or Torabi. We need good dribbling to get passed Japan’s defense those hopeful long balls that worked against China isn’t going to work here.
Azmoun is tiring himself with so much unnecessary runs for the ball

that happens when you put ONE forward up and dont use the midfield to slowly build up attacks, to add to the numbers.
this makes it easy for defenders to crowd him.
we either add one more forward to divide the defenders.
or build up from midfield to add the numbers, instead of constantly hoofing the ball aimlessly.
This never gets anything done against decent teams.
japan is NOT china or some silly weak team
i dont trust these refs ...
they look scandalous and prejudiced towards iranies ..... ha ha ha most all aussies prefer japs to your typical iranies anyways ... woulda preferred the mexican ref
loool
100% agree - we cannot afford to put ourselves in a situation for Amiri to get a second yellow. Same with ebrahimi both are very physical players and I’m not convinced ebrahimi can keep his cool.
Ghoddos needs to come in at half or 5-10 mins in and Cheshmi for ebrahimi shortly after
