It took over 10 hours and then I found out that Iran tickets are sold out. I hope there will be another opportunity after the draw.

Go TM!

The Anatomy of Defeat.

In important games such as games against South Korea there is no forgiveness for mistakes, by players or a coach. Teams with less mistakes has more chance to not lose.

Odds were against Skocic even before the game but perhaps most critical mistakes were his decisions, tactics, substitution...
Restructuring the team in every line without proper practice/training is a suicide mission let alone undefendable choices.
Noorafkan recently was doing ok as LB , suddenly playing as DM. Khalilzad was recently struggling mentally and physically as a CB , suddenly he is a RB and when he was unable to function was replace by Gholami .
Hajsafi is a wrong choice when tactical and intelligent play is required and there was no place for him.

Coach wasted first half experimenting , and was not watching the game carefully otherwise he would have use Esmaeili far to slow Korean attacks from weak TM RB.

TM will fly directly to Mashhad from Seoul at 2:00 AM local time with a charter jet. Hopefully TM players will get rested and ready for a good result vs Lebanon on Tuesday to end the WC qualification campaign with a win.

I think they're leaving for Mashhad right now.. I saw on the Team Melli IG story that they're already at the airport..
The quicker they can get out of Korea, the better..

Would be great if UAE beats SK on 03/29/2022. Slim chance, but who knows it might happen.

Whats the point? I've seen people talking about this but whats the point? Honestly winning the group won't help us achieve anything! The important match was SK game which we lost. So now we will lose the #1 asian spot and pot 2 Fifa world cup seed.

Just hope that Japan draw next match so we can stay asia's #1 and miracle happens and other teams lose and we take the pot 2. The chances of that happening (uruguay lose, Sweden lose , USA/Mexico don't qualify , Colombia don't qualify, both italy and portugal don't qualify) is Very very very low. Less than 1%

This is a team built on lots of talent and not revolving on a few players. I am not worried about absence of 2-3 players tomorrow. We have enough ammunition. We will do good!

Didim. The amount of wishful thinking and turning blind eyes to apparent problems in TM is really something on this board.

Yes, you are correct. They are leaving at 2:00 AM Seoul time. Corrected the post. They should be at the Airport now.

Go TM!

At this juncture it does not matter much what others do, best is to focus on our own team, preparation and fixing our weaknesses.

If we don't fix this, results will be more embarrassing.

At this point there is a higher chance of UAE beating SK then our own situation improving.

You want our football to improve? spend money on it. Where is the money?

Whats your opinion? Keeping Skocic? If not who would you consider?

Like you, I have also been critical of the coach and the tactics he employed in another thread, but I guess the other side of the coin is also the quality of our players and their ability to execute. It is like attempting to drive a car at 200 km/hr if the engine is not designed to do that. We do have serious quality issue in our ranks. Our internal leagues are doing nothing to develop players. No player education!

Skocic during PGL season attended many games to monitor players and TM prospects but his selections and use of players is a mystery sometimes.
Are there no DM in Iran in case Ezatollahi is not available? How many times this season or last Noorafkan had played as a DM?
Are there no RB in Iran if Moharami is not available? Are Khalilzadeh, Gholami RB specialists? Are there better RB than Esmaeilifar or Hardani?
When a coach decides to resort to desperate and unpopular decision, he take a risk, not only risk of losing but damage reputation of Team and himself.
Skocic will have hard time to justify his tactic , game plan, and formation today , he will lose support among the fans , officials and players and it can make his job more difficult in future.

This will not end well if continued.
