mashsaeed cmon man, i know moharrami wasn't great today but I have a hard time seeing ramin at 32 being better than him....dude was a hot head back in 2018 but now he is a hot head with less speed in 2022.

Yeah at this point im happy with a good performance, never mind next round. Good performance, few more nice goals, we might pull it off with round of 16, its a mental game from now on. .

Hope england crushes the other teams aswell for the gd sake. Then maybe our 2 goals play an important role in the end, as in more goals scored. If that rule still applies if gd is a tie. Before going to head to head stats we gave -4 atm Sooo lets go england? 5-0 usa, 3-0 wales.

Holland is nothing special to
we can beat them specialy since salavat is back.

I think we ought set up as follows:

-------------------------Hosseini-------------------------------
Sadegh------Kanaani----Shoja/Hosseini------Hajisafi
-------Torabi----------------Ezza---------------Amiri--------
----------------------------Ghoddos----------------------------
-----------------Azmoun------------Taremi-------------------

Insofar as GK is concerned: I was not impressed by Hosseini at all today BUT, I very much do believe that--given that Beiro is almost definitely concussed and therefore unavailable--our best option is not to experiment further. Instead, let's chalk Hosseini's performance up to nerves, the quality of opposition, the extraordinary efficiency of the opposition (their xG of 2.11 resulted in 6 goals scored), and the chaos of his introduction early on the match. I say this due to Niazmand's inexperience and Abedzadeh's inconsistency. In my mind, it doesn't serve us to experiment any further. Ultimately, if Beiro is out, we have to make do with what we have and Hosseini at least has the England match under his belt to potentially improve from (since I'm not convinced that Abdedzadeh/Niazmand won't be prone to nerves, etc.). CQ is a former keeper and our GKing coach should be able to work Hosseini into a serviceable shape going forward.

For the wingbacks/midfield, I'm sorry to say that I really do think Torabi and Amiri are out best shots against Wales (believe me, I'm no fan of their politics). Torabi was actually rather good today and provides defensive work rate in addition to the ability to hold onto the ball. Amiri has a high football IQ, defensive work rate, and can get forward as well. Saeid is clearly out of shape but if he's insulated well enough by Torabi/Amiri, I think he could be quite useful.

For the attackers: Ghoddos with an elevated midfield role to maintain possession longer than we did against England today as well as his eye for a good pass. Azmoun and Taremi together up top given that we are fighting for our life in the tournament on Friday and can't afford to keep anyone in reserve.

Hopefully, this lineup strikes an appropriate balance between the necessities of: 1) defensive stability (particularly given speedy opponents such as Dan James, et al.); and 2) offensive capabilities (the necessity of us taking all 3 pts from this match, particularly given the fact that I do NOT believe that the match against the USA is going to be an easy one in that they have plenty of technically able, dynamic, quick, and exciting talent that could trouble our slower, more deliberate mid/defense in a Matchday 3 Scenario where both the USA and Iran need a win to advance).

Under no circumstances:
1. PAG
2. Milad
3. Cheshmi
4. ARJ

I would like to start shoja but wales will go with Keefer Moore giant up front, not sure about shoja who is undersized cb vs this guy. Majid was exposed today but is still ultimately an option due to fitness, form, prior credit.

---------------------Beiro/Niazmand------------------

Moharrami-----Kanaani-----Majid/Shoja-----Hajsafi/Jalali

-------------------------Ezatolahi------------------
-----------Ghoddos-----------------Amiri

Torabi----------------Azmoun--------Taremi

From bench:

Ansarifard for azmoun around min 60
Gholizadeh for Torabi
Nourollahi for Saeid

Good news after mess today, most of these guys are well rested.

I go with your lineup aswell.

Hope Beiro is back and nose isnt broken. But it probably is. Way to big noses to survive in that collision., ☹ odds are its broken judging from his reaction and the power of that hit. Hopefully there is no skull/chin fractures or serious braindamage/concussion. Wtf was medicals thinking not taking him of, thats the biggest scandal of yesterday for me.

Anyway, he went out with a hero fingertip save, or it would have been an open goal header by the english player running in behind him.

-----------Saeid----------
----Saman-----Nour-----
JB---Sardar---Mehdi--

[Hosseini]

No way I think Beiro plays. He looked hurt and concussed badly. Hope to God Abedzadeh is in a good mindset and we see no more of a SK situation. One silly goal or unforced error could mean doom for us.

Majid was terrible man. I doubt he sees any more action..

I did not find him worse than PAG. Like I said I prefer shoja, but just due to aerial factor I can see majid getting considered again.

[Iran_19]

1. England 5
2. Iran 4
3. Usa 3
4.wales 2
