Iran had a good day. I wish we had this formation against Mexico. Well, too late. we showed our potential, we brought whatever we had, if we couldn’t pull a point from this game, it was because Portuguese were just much better than us. We have every blue moon a player like Karimi, they already have 8 players much better than him, what can we say against a team that we need 33 players to be equal. Figo, Ronlado and Deco outclassed us. Well, we were very disciplined and organized in defense, a little bit nerves in offence and under pressure. No complaint, this is what we are. The good thing was today was the first day Daei without being injured was not in line up since 1993 (I guess). We were better without him, it was obvious. Mirzapour had a very good day, maybe one of his exceptional days, however he was still a blink away from another embarrassment. Why I call “embarrassment”? Because conceded a goal from a miss kick is nothing but embarrassing. He should learn kicking the ball or we need to change our keeper. To be fair, he pulled some world class saves today. I give him a rest for a while and don’t pick on him, I promise. Saying about goal keeper, I must say, one of the reason we couldn’t distribute the ball well from defense, it was “no option of passing back to the keeper to change the field”, so our defenders were easily put under pressure and they had no choice but long ball which most of the time it was Portuguese who posses the ball. Saying all about the game, Deco’s goal was just beautiful. Our best player was Kia, Teymourian and neknam had a good game too, I must say every one had a good game, except Karimi who was not outstanding, he was average, when he is average, we are average, when is excellent, we are excellent. We depended on him for another miracle, well it didn’t happen.
Ghana just showed what the beautiful game means, perfect performance. Watch this group, they are not done yet.
USA vs Italy was just thrilling game, 3 red card which both US cards were not fully justified, I am not sure about thir second goal too. To me it was a correct goal. Any way, they fought back with 9 players to pull a tie from a very average Italian team. So, it’s not only us being up and down, Italian seems are master in this.
Try to not emotional, but give me the right to not write too much today, my team just eliminated from tournament. I am down, not too much though, They played good. It’s enough for me.
Enjoy the football festival.
Cheers,
