یالاه یالاه کارلوس کیروش و میخایم یالاه.WE NEED CQ ASAP TO RETURN asap

[ramingeles2000]

Don't mind these CQ fan boys. They do not know much about soccer. They do not even get simple stats. Regarding CQ player selection, he only knows one style and really chooses players based on that style. If you are creative that is not something CQ values. He needs work horses and yes men around him anyone that criticises him he will go after. Truely not a good head coach. And Senegal is not "10 times better than your team" lol. They barely won over two legs with lasers in the eye and CQ doing his best to stop you from playing soccer.

1 - 4 points at WC 2018 with 0 GD.

2 - no one's saying CQs the best coach of all time. but he's definitely the best iran's had (or likely will have for the foreseeable future).

3 - other than a minority of players (many with an agenda), the vast majority of those whose opinion actually matters....the PLAYERS....loved and praised working with the guy.

only a small and unfortunately vocal minority try to degrade this man's contributions to our football. they talk as if we have zidane and guardiola as options.

[Hosseini]

you summed it up perfectly

all these statements are true:

1 - skocic did his absolute best and accomplished the task he was given. it wasn't an easy one, because we was truly set up to fail.

2 - skocic will be one of the most inexperienced coaches at the world cup. if it wasn't for the Wilmots fiasco and IFF's desperation, his career cap would have been that of a moderately successful IPL/asian club coach. totally respectable.

3 - replacing skocic at this juncture is very risky. don't be fooled by the 6 months we have to prep - because of nations league, IFF incompetence, etc., we are likely about to endure a very weak WC prep in terms of friendlies and camps. This gives a new coach very little time to adapt.

4 - the one replacement that presents the least risk is CQ, because of his familiarity with TM and Iran.

5 - CQ at the helm gives Iran a better chance of achieving results at this WC than w/ Skocic. Some fans may not like how those results are achieved, but it's true. If you don't agree with this statement, we have nothing to discuss.

Most fans here aren't plainly anti-CQ or pro-Sko so let's not make it about that. I think some are just annoyed by this notion of "living in the past", and think we should let CQ go and move on. They also factor in his controversial style of coaching (both his attitude and actual tactics) and are excited by the prospect of playing a more open style at the world cup. Or, they don't believe that CQ will actually come back, so why entertain it? they don't want to participate in the rumor mill and want to be supportive of Sko because they don't want to create hashiyeh around TM. All this is valid.

The other camp aren't CQ fanboys - they just recognize that skocic's results are deceptive, and that our performances were inferior compared to the 2018 WCQ campaign. So, if there's a chance to get CQ, you do it.

Like i've said - IFF should either definitely say "absolutely not we are 110% behind Sko and he'll be our coach in the WC" or make a choice fast. I'd bet anything that the CQ option's being discussed, though.

Iraq’s footballing infrastructure at least in terms of modern stadiums and training grounds has surpassed Iran’s. They’ve built 5-6 modern stadia and are building more.

Huh? There is no way Iraq's football infrastructure is better than ours lol They can't even play home games there.

Just because they cannot play at home, doesn't mean their stadiums are not far better than ours. They are.

This will be their latest stadium.

They have a real nice one in Basra

Iraq just had their first home match in over a decade (friendly against Uganda) in Al Madina Stadium in Baghdad.

Iraq just had their first home match since the US invasion (friendly against Uganda) in Al Madina Stadium in Baghdad.

Nice ground!

Even a war-torn country is ahead of us in infrastructure. Also, notice their fans are close to the ground.

And there is no track around the field (super annoying to see in TM matches).

Google Iraqi stadiums and look at the 5 new/modern ones they’ve built and 4-5 ones planned /under construction then go huh. Look up the najaf, Basra, Karbala, then say “huh”

Yup. That BS “Persian Pride” will not coverup the truth here. This is just a fact.

I actually had no idea... damn.. thanks for the info

Damn i miss the excitement leading to WC in 2018 wanting it to happen tomorrow even when knowing that we have such a tough group but comforted & excited that we have a brilliant technician such as CQ in our corner, who wiould not take crap from anyone including IFF and pushed the team to do their best - we were one side netting and one VAR from the next round.

But alas this time even with a marked easier group i am dreading the WC, wanting it to be delayed further, knowing we have a coach who can & will be pushed about, where player preparation will be minimal and competetor analysis nominal.

I miss those days indeed 😪

look at the x1 advertisement at the bottom, do you guys think an x1 in iraq costs 85k like it does in iran? god our country is backwards in, everything the msrp in america for an x1 is around 35k

Yup that Iraq has surpassed the mullah led Iran. Check back in 2-3 more years and they’ll have 5 more world class stadiums in addition to what they’ve built now..yup that Iraq “huh”

1- 4 points means nothing. Especially when the performance was not there and is thanks to a late own goal by Morocco.

2- He is no where near being the best coach Iran has had:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._team_managers

and this does not even talk about titles won which of course he has none.

3-The vast majority of players and karshenaas have talked against him but his fans seem to be oblivious and go after everyone from Karimi to Ando.

This man's contribution to our football is very minimal. For 8 years he played a result oriented park the bus football without the results. His winning percentage in ASIA with IRAN is very telling. Our football has won 3 Asian cups in a row without losing and has qualified to the World Cup when there was only one team from Asia/Oceana. So yeah he was one of the many coaches who did not win anything with Team Melli. These "contributions" you speak of are at best very minimal. Those who follow Iranian football know that our football is all about ifs and buts and his tenure was all about ifs and buts. Nothing gained here.
