AFC Asian Cup 2019 Semi Final: Iran - Japan; Info, Updates & Live Reports (28.01.19)

[Iran_19]

Reality check for everyone who thought we are top of Asia. We are maybe top 4. Exactly how Queiroz said. Very sad how we conceded the first, and the penalty was wrong too. Who knows if we could have landed some lucky punch otherwise, but honestly, it never looked like it anyhow.

The P.K to me was a right call, and we were not facing China today, we were facing a side which is the most successful Asian country in last 3 decades. We didn't deserve to win this match tbh.

Just hope for Qatar to win it all!

If i compare how the Saudies played when they were 1-0 down and how we played, one can tell
the difference.

Everyone getting over excited for a shitty team who was just lucky to get 4 point in the world cup thanks to an own-goal and a ridicolous penality. Everyone getting excited for a shitty team because they win against the likes of Yemen and China scoring given and funny goals.
Iran as always been shit and will always be

Why are you even on this forum then?

[PSGman#19]

Ah, let's blame the government for a obvious cultural problem within our societies. We lost against a nation that it intrinsically more organised, level-headed and professional in every fibre of its being. The difference in quality reflects the difference in mentality. Even if IRI will fall, these cultural problems will remain.

+1.

Let's blame every one and withdraw from asian cup till our politico-economico etc.. problems aren't resolved and as Australia, SK and Japan have better situation.

The only way to improve this cultural weakness is to send iranian players in mass in Europe.

How did that guy score the header in between 4 of our defenders and our goalie , is mind boggling?????

[Kaveh Ahangar]

Keep your heads up guys.

The sun will rise again tomorrow morning and we live to fight another day.

[Medzdidz]

😀 my dad is probably sat in his apartment in Tehran now throwing his TV out of the window so I will call him tomorrow. I follow my moms side obviously 😀

Everyone getting over excited for a shitty team who was just lucky to get 4 point in the world cup thanks to an own-goal and a ridicolous penality. Everyone getting excited for a shitty team because they win against the likes of Yemen and China scoring given and funny goals, getting fucked once they face a decent team.
Iran as always been shit and will always be.

And I've said it before and I'll say it again....I'm pretty sure Iranian fans are the worst with no rationale whatsoever. Good Lord people relax, we were blessed to have a coach that knew how to capitalize on our strengths and mask our weaknesses as best he could.

It is not cq fault that players leave the ball and go to the refreE and tell us who should replace cq?tell us!

8 years of this. Stop being an apologist ehsan. We played terrible football. Even against china we scored two scrappy goals. We play bizan ziresh soccer. We are not improving as a team. Moroccan coach would be an amazing upgrade

[Dadashi]

CQ insisted on playing out of form Azmoon in WC 90 minutes three games, here he insists in playing the horrible ARJ and bench a great player Torabi. F...k CQ. He can go to the hell. I don't wanna see him in my country anymore.

[O-ZoNe]

no coach can change our freaking khardoyee o sarpayeeni football culture, it starts with our clubs and probably further back at grassroots level

CQ in fact did a great job of attempting to fix some of our cultural issues

By doing what? Getting into feuds with refs, coaches, IPL, and everyone who questioned him?

Guys let’s be real, no one to blame but ourselves. That first goal was pathetic. A 5 year old knows to play to the whistle. Also how did the cross get passed 3 defenders and why was Beiranvand so poorly positioned, what his excuse?? We blew it. And we can never recover going a goal down then we concede a stupid penalty, morteza left hjs Hand way too far out. We didn’t have any tactics moving forward and although japan was far from spectacular we did nothing. Subs did nothing too. We blew it.

Don't lecture me tell me who should replace cq?8tears of what?2 World Cup?is not cq fault our defenders were crap today

[Iran_19]

Kanani is an idiot, that is the reason why he was kicked out of both PP and Esteghlal, i thought he matured up but i think i was wrong, the freaking stupid act going after the referee on every action is a retarded mentality. Fucking play the whistle. Can't believe this is happening in such a level of football. and PAG also had a terrible match, wasn't the shadow of himself in this tournament.

It will be interesting to see now the reaction in Iran and CQs Postmatch Interview.
