I am really really impressed with Ezatolahi.

Although he is relatively young, he is already pure quality on his position, very confident and physically strong.

I think he will be one of our key, if not THE DM of Iran in the future, similar to Nekounam.

IMO Man of the Match today.

[Damavand]

After today's childish blunder and the one against Japan I would certainly bench Haghighi if I were CQ. I cannot believe he is the same guy who had such a brilliant WC.

Overall a very complacent performance from the team.
Once again we play a great first 20 minutes and get lazy after scoring one goal

[AminGP]

So many people missed the entire game because the times were incorrect and the OP never updated the first page.

[AIrani]

Good to see five to six NEW players.

Turkmens played well. Their passing was great and they capitalized their few chances.

Iranian players did not pass well and missed excellent opportunities.

Iran won by comfortable margin of 3 - 1.

It will be tough to play against Oman in Tehran.

Happy Day everybody. Do some good today to bring joy to our people.

[Omids]

i was also impressed how the young players and the team overall keep the ball on the ground and completed a lot of passes. I cant remember at any time players just aimlessly kicking the ball forward. The back line passed to the midfield and the midfield fed the forward link players. This is a massive change to the way we used to play 10 years ago. Sure our last pass and finishing could have been better but this was a young team and that will hopefully come.

Why would you trust the times a member posts here when it will take 10 seconds to check varzesh3's front page the day of the game!!!!

Ebrahimi and Ezzatollahi were our best players today. Torabi is decent, he is good physical player but I don't like his style of running,i dont know if its him or his neck that makes him look so slow. People should stop being so harsh on Dejagah, when we play against weaker opposition he sometimes tries to do too much, and rushes on some of his passes but overall he didn't play that bad IMO. Let's not forget that he is the one that links up almost all of our attacks, without him we would look much more mediocre going forward. Haghighi has had back to back blunders and is looking out of form. I would put Akhbari in net for the game vs. Guam. Jahanbakhsh was ok but he can play much better, i like the fact that he tries to cut in from the wing and take shots,haven't seen a TM player do that for as long as i can remember but he was too selfish today and his passes weren't on point. Gucci doesn't look completely fit yet, he didn't look to sharp but he always seems to be in the right spot at the right time, I expected him to play more minutes today though.

The game started 6.30 AM EST which I was asleep and couldn't have checked it on the day. If I had known I would have woken up earlier. Again why post a thread about an important game when all the infos about the times of the game were incorrect. Rugs mentioned that some of the members later corrected the game but the OP never corrected the first page.

We should've scored at least another goal in the first half. Those huge blow ups almost costed the entire game. Thanks god we scored immidiately right after we got scored on. Turkmenistan has never been an easy opponent. They turn out much stronger than they have always been, when they play against us - history has shown that.
