The losses against Lebanon and Uzbekistan were in 2012 just a little over a year after Carlos Queiroz had taken over a dysfunctional Iran national team. Besides Japan in 2019 after that he did not lose an official match in Asia in regular time. On the flip side Wilmots took the sturdy ship Queiroz built over the past 8 years and crashed it in his 2nd official match. So it's not alarmist to say the loss to Bahrain was a disaster. It was a disaster! We were able to come from behind to tie Portugal in the world cup just last year, but we cannot come back to tie freaking Bahrain..
looks like some Colombian players are not happy with CQ, from twitter;
"PINO: "COLOMBIA IS NOT IRAN" #FSRadioColombia |

He recalled the passage of Carlos Queiroz through the Iran National Team to demand another game model with the Colombian National Team."

Someone asked the last time I watched a TM game. I have watched every single Iran game being a friendly or official game going back to the 1998 qualifiers. There maybe a few shitty friendliest I missed but any official game in any capacity I’ve seen. The loss was very alarming. CQ lost at the beginning to Lebanon and Uzbekistan from the Sunday league inherited which was stated so perfectly. He rose from the ashes and build up the team. This coach crashed and sunk a perfect ship that was running so smoothly. A fan must be blind or not capable of seeing tactics and plans not to get this. The performance was pathetic. Players were not motivated and had no game plan. Very pathetic by then with so much experience and zero leadership by Wilmots. He had no plans. Subs didn’t work. Ehsan is an idiot for his shit shots. You think under CQ anyone would dare to shoot from where he did????
CQ gave crazy discipline and ran a tight ship. The stupid Iranian mentality returns with an idiot like haji safi attacking the ref. That’s the difference there. This is not pessimistic. It’s REALISTIC.
guys please close this thread
I don't know what happened but clearly he is testing Colombian teams against teams he is faimilar with; Japan (beat them), Korea (lost 2-1) and now Algeria (lost 3-0). However as you may know they did good in the Copa America, beating Argentina, Qatar & Paraguay while losing in penalties to Chile. They also tied Brazil and Chile in last two meets.
to be fair to him he was rotating heavily vs algeria. in competetive matches he was solid considering the copa america performance was just after he arrived.
