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

Loss of concentration costed us a great deal. That's how we got scored on and then after the penalty that was a total miscall (PAG was in no position to get himself out of the direction of the ball) everything fell apart.

Go TM!

We always lost mental war against good teams, WHY? Cause of lack of good friendlies. IR's BS games. Japans plays Italy in friendly while we play Syria. This is the games it shows.

You think Morocco plays that good just because of their coach? Do tell how our quality of players matches theirs. LOL stop it right now. Sure he would be a good hire, but if you think suddenly we'll move the ball and attack teams like they did you're out of your mind. There's a DRASTIC difference in quality of players between us and Morocco...

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.

If he had won would you have said the same thing?

[O-ZoNe]

What cultural issues bro? That we think all our failures are someone else's fault. CQ played that to the max, blaming the government, federation, refs, VAR, yada yada yada.

Agree 100% CQ played our own weakness against us...a con man at it's best!

Terrible end for CQ. Didn't deserve this...

He did his best, he can't play the match for our players.

Our players did their best, they can't make up for a whole nation's shortcomings.

Becoming a pro team recquires many years of experience, 8 years is nothing, this man took the challenge, most coaches wouldn't have even been able to take us to 1 WC, nevermind 2.

Heyf, heyf.

Fully support TM and will continue to do so..just one game in our timeline. So what.

Stop breaking our players, u will pay the price .Focus on WC 2022!

Taremi was deeply missed.

We lost to the better team. period!
And the first goal was schoolboy error, destroyed the whole game. We are also mentally not strong; when we are down 2:0 we lose self control. Japan won because they were in all those areas professional that we were not!

[Bi-honar]

There are many cultural issues. Iranians are emotional and have a strange superiority complex. Likely because their mother's told them they have golden penises from the age of one. No wonder we have been oppressed for decades

LOL @ golden penises or is it peni?! We don't have a superiority complex, quite the contrary amigo, read the comments and you'll notice we have an inferiority complex.

Even when we're the best and have one fuck-up we immediately blame someone else and demote ourselves to the worst of the worst just so that we don't have a mature conversation about what went wrong or do any self-criticism.

That's why we remain psychologically inferior and just feed into that inferiority.

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

Its a coaches duty to instill concentration. how is it that when we win its because of the great CQ and when we lose its the players? grow up.

[tooleh khers]

This was the epitome of ali-asghari football dude! It will be hard to beat.

We have played this football for 8 years now.

Guys we need a taaziye thread after this, all wear black please and bring your zanjir and ghame.

[Russo]

Totally in agreement with you, IranPuma. A lot of these Iranian fans are utterly stupid saying things like this. If you support Iran, you support them through the good times and the bad!

Well done Japan.

I will continue to support Team Melli even if they never win another game. Until my last breath!

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.
