great spot for Saman fk

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

Correct for the first 20 min of the game. And after the first goal.

But in between we dominated them and create more chances.

This is the worst game CQ team has ever played in the past 8 years. Not sure what’s going on

Miracle?
Taremi is deeply missed.

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.

This. The problem is cultural.

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

The Bold is for Certain

Please stop blaming it on the refs.. this was all on us.

[Equalizer]

These Japanese are as classless as Bahrainis

[Karimi 8]

Japan grass rolling, our players in full panic, ref heavily biased, we’re playing poorly.

[elnino99]

You know what's been even MORE disappointing than conceding that super idiotic, garbage amateur first goal?

Our response since. We've completely stopped playing. Complete psychological collapse
