    Game should hopefully start to open up in the second half as Vietnam will need to come toward more to find a goal. Will open up space for us going forward.
    The build up for the goal was beautiful. Switch sides like that and they will have no chance.
    What is with the ref, couple of times he could have given a free kick in good positions but either wasn’t interested or played on when it wasn’t open.
    Saman’s cross was a thing of beauty.

        Special shout out to Omid who is bossing the midfield. He is our Kante.

          Vietnam will have to open up in the 2nd half and play a more attacking game. Will give us an opportunity to score more.

            very good first half. Vietnam played their ass off trying to not to give up that goal.
            but it's gonna be a little different now since they need to come forward..

              Iran’s Team pressing has been brilliant so far this tournament
              Especially on the offensive front

                  Will Jahanbakhsh come on too?

                    We are lucky it's not 1-1. When Pouraligangi headed it past Beirnavand, that Vietnamese player shot it, fortunately he lacked all quality and it looked as if he crossed it. If that was even Iraq it would be 1-1

                      If anyone has watched the other Asian cup games, then looks at this one, you can see just how high quality our center backs are. Both have shut down so many chances just through good predictions, positioning, and physicality.

                      The reason it looks sometimes like our players can’t control the ball in instances of buildup play is because of the pace at which many of these balls are delivered. Ghafouri/Omid/Ehsan are passing it at very high pace to the pack in the middle, because if they don’t then the ball would get easily intercepted. Very hard to control those passes no matter what sort of player you are

                          Yup
                          & doubtful they will anytime too soon ..!
                          Unless they concede an early 2nd they won’t risk pushing up till late 80-90 min.

                            As the teams walk on the field you can see that half the stands are completely empty.

                              Thoughts so far:

                              Ashkan is back
                              Sardar is banging the point blank headers in and I think he'll do it again next half
                              Saman is as sharp as he is at club level with TM now
                              Beiranvand must be bored out of his mind
