[AllStarMomo]

i wouldnt have taken ASHKAN out
wtf is carlos thinking

Ashkan is too tired right now.

[Iran_19]

They took Ashkan out of his game, JB always sucks in TM and Azmoun was alone, and too many defensive mistakes.

[peyman117]

Terrible tactics by CQ. only azmoun on the front and bezan ziresh tactics like the game against china. But it wont work with japan

[BacheLot]

we need to push up our d line to closer to mf and defend closer to japs goal

risky but we have to

[KC McElroy]

First goal was a joke. Second goal was actually a pk.

They took Ashkan out of his game, JB always sucks in TM and Azmoun was alone, and too many defensive mistakes.

But JB is the best we have they say...
He plays PL they say...
He was injured for so long and still he is in the starting Formation...

[BacheLot]

that retarded first goal
did us in
we really had the momentum to start the 2nd half
heyf

[TM4LIFE]

Japan is just better than us. Higher quality all over the pitch. We’ve got a ways to go in football still it seems.

[AllStarMomo]

Taremis yellow card...

[elnino99]

This game really reflects the two countries in terms of approach and professionalism.

We are overly-emotional, too much rush of blood, too rash....gift them a goal, and then after that completely switch off.

Japan just functional. like a true robot. Unlike us, everytime they coneded this tournament, they didn't lose their head, but rather upped their gear and equalized shortly after.


Sadly, the problems of our country needs more than just CQ to solve. We are mentally weak and too emotional. It's great at times because of our "gheyrat", but against a professional, disciplined team like Japan, it has been our achilles heel.

So so sad....Japan have been rank average every single game of this tournament, haven't won a single game by more than one goal, and here they are with one foot in the final.

[IranPuma]

Iran were perfectly fine until the mental lapse. It's a cruel game and some of the best in the world have had these moments. No need to be so angry at CQ and company. It hurts, but this shit happens.

[pdot]

This is over. CQ hasn't won a game when we were down by 2 ever.

CQ leaves, IFF wins, Iran goes back to same crap as ever

[naderb94]

The thing is the ref has been giving us calls.
