Congrats to Brave Iranian for the big victory against Uzbekistan and here we come Qatar. Mods please make this sticky.

[KeonKish]

Hopefully CQ will use an attacking lineup like this

Khalatbari- Ansarifard- Dejagah
Nekounam---Jabbari--Teymourian
Pouladi--Hosseini--Montazeri--Heydari
Rahmati

This thread is very valuable, so let me post it here as well:

Mahdavikia: Stop Making the Uzbek Win Seem Undeserved

-TM legend Mehdi Mahdavikia has come out and criticised those bashing TM and making their win against Uzbekistan seem like something that was handed to them by the referee

-He is very happy that we won this game and believes this was our most important game of the WC qualifications

-TM needs her fans beside her more than ever and he is surprised that TM's win is being scrutinized to this extent by fans and the media alike

-It seems some people were just waiting for the chance to unleash a rash of criticism and finally got their chance to do so

-These events are not to the benefit of TM at all and will have negative consequences on the morale of the team later on

-Being lucky and getting a bit of help from the referee happens to all teams. Before this, we had been unlucky in games with regards to refereeing decisions on numerous occasions. But, no one drew this much attention to bad refereeing decisions that went against us, as they are now when luck, for once, is on our side

-By extending these talks any further and drawing more attention to it leaves open the possibility that refereeing will be heavily biased against us in future matches

-As a former TM player, I know what type of negative impact these talks have on a player's psyche

-Instead of having these conversations we should be happy TM won and work to boost our players confidence

My Take: We always talk about how TM plays very emotional in important games and messes up a number of clear goal scoring opportunities; this can be clearly traced back to the players having low self-confidence and lacking belief in their abilities. A large part of this is our fault, as we place such high expectations on our team and expect them to dominate Asian opponents without realizing that this is 2012, and many teams are spending billions on their football while we have to scratch and claw for a friendly match.

For the sake of TM and the dream of reaching the World Cup in Brazil, lets stop making the Uzbek game seem trivial and bring up the refereeing again and again and again. We get it, they need to improve their game and get better, and believe me the players and the coaching staff are the first to acknowledge that. I don't think we understand just how damaging our criticism is to these players and the type of effect it has. Before people bring up the same old nonsense that these are profesional athletes and should know how to deal with criticism and accept it, I say the only thing professional about our football is our players' salaries.

Even in Europe, the reigning world player of the year, Lio Messi, has been unable to perform for Argentina the way he has for Barcelona and many believe the root of this to be the unrealistic expectations that people in Argentina have of him duplicating the exploits of Maradonna. If a player of Messi's calibre can fail to produce for his country due to unrealistic expectations and constant criticism, then why should our players be any different. If you love this team then you will sink or swim with her willingly, anyone who wants off the ship can get off now.

با اين حرفها داوري در بازي*هاي بعد به ضرر ما مي*شود
مهدوي*كيا:بعضی ها منتظر بودندتیم ملی رابکوبند
مهدي مهدوي*كيا ملي*پوش سابق فوتبال ايران درباره بازي ايران و ازبكستان نظرات خواندني و جالبي دارد. او معتقد است كه اين 3 امتياز در آينده به درد تيم ملي مي*خورد: «من فقط 30 دقيقه از بازي را ديدم. از برد تيم ملي خوشحال شدم. اين مهمترين بازي تيم ملي در اين مقطع بود و با پيروزي در اين بازي روحيه ازبكستان آنقدر پايين آمد كه مربي*شان را عوض كردند. اگر ازبك*ها به كره هم ببازند، تقريبا از كورس صعود خارج خواهند شد و اين به سود ماست.» مهدوي*كيا بازي با قطر را حساس و تعيين كننده مي*داند: « اگر بتوانيم قطر را در تهران ببريم 6 امتيازي مي*شويم و در شرايط خوبي قرار مي*گيريم. اما تيم ملي نياز به حمايت تماشاگران هم دارد. بايد همه براي صعود به جام جهاني كمك كنيم.» كاپيتان سابق تيم ملي به انتقاداتي كه به بازي تيم ملي مي*شود معترض است:*«من تعجب مي كنم كه تا اين حد به تيم ملي و نحوه گرفتن 3 امتياز پرداخته مي*شود. اين انتقادها اصلا به سود تيم ملي نيست و نتيجه معكوس دارد. انگار بعضي*ها منتظر بودند تا تيم ملي را بكوبند. خوش*شانسي يا كمك داور اتفاقي است كه براي هر تيمي مي*افتد. ما پيش از اين در بازي*هاي مقدماتي جام جهاني بدشانس بوديم ولي كسي به اين نكته توجهي ندارد. بعد از اين همه مدت شانس و داور با ما يار بودند و ما بايد از اين بابت خوشحال باشيم. با كش دادن اين حرفها ممكن است داوري در بازي هاي بعد به ضرر ما باشد.» مهدوي*كيا از تاثير منفي انتقادات نگران است: « من بازيكن تيم*ملي بودم و مي*دانم كه چنين حرف*هايي روي روحيه بازيكنان هم تاثير منفي مي*گذارد. بهتر است به جاي اين حرفها ، به بازيكنان تيم ملي خسته نباشيد بگوييم و به آنها روحيه بدهيم.»

TM Training

– Interviews ahead of WCQ against Qatar

http://www.pfdctv.com/?p=4139

[Siavash]

SO Qatar lost 4-1 to SK. At the end they look really tired and beat up. Next Tuesday we must punish them really good and get the 3 points. Obviously Qatar will play pack defense and contour-attack in the hope of a tie or even a win. CQ must take a note of this and prepare accordingly.

[arasradio]

I think Uzbek is overrated. They got lucky once and beat Japan. They might be a physical game but do not have professionalism in their spirit. They fall short on big days. They could not even beat Lebonnon.

Now :
S. Korea 4 Qatar 1
Lebonnon 1 Uzbek 1

This means after game 3 if Iran beats Qatar, things become pretty much clearer. So far all 3 underdogs are in awful shape while the favorites seem to be heading to Brazil. This Qatari team with such defense cannot cause any problem for us

I repeat, if we win in match day 3, things will be very bright let's hope so.

Cheers
