Iran vs. Jordan - [Match Thread] | Jordan 2023 Intl. Tournament | October 13th |

I know bro. I get your points. However you’re acting like this is an important game. This is a friendly against a team we haven’t beaten for 12 years. Yes the performance wasn’t wye catching snd awful in 2nd half. A bitter reality that we don’t have a strong bench and have to rely on our main guys. But friendlies are good for this. Find out weak points. Right? Let’s see what he does against CQ. I understand your valid points. Cheers

Agree. Let's wait for the real games to come, WCQ, I'm sure they will step up by then 🤞🏻

It’s a friendly in Amman with many of our almost starters injured so I won’t put too much weight on the game itself.

However I want to point out 2 consistent negatives we have in TM:

Hajisafi - I’ve wanted this guy out of TM for 10 years now, but because he plays half decent in a goshad league like Greece, he has forced himself onto the fans favorites again. He can’t defend.

You know why we lose so much shape? Because everyone has to shift over to cover for his lack of running back and slow play. Notice how every Jordan attack was goong through his side? Easy exploit.
he made Shoja look way worse than he is because he has to overextend himself all game. I’d hate playing by a guy like Hajisafi.

JB: love this guy off the field but come on man. Where is your touch? Brighton broke him and took away any composure he had. Time for an extended bench session.

positives:

our attack is very good in transition. Very quick. Taremi Azmoun are a world class pairing.


also with this pitch I wouldn’t expect much more football.

So when is the date/time for the rendez vous between CQ and TM?

2-1 iran. Jordan will score because it would be too good to be true if we start tournament without problems. Maybe 3-1

Called the score😎

I heard it’s the same time on Monday. Waiting for confirmation.

I’m at a loss of words for how horrendous our midfield and defence is. Its unbelievable. At the same time, I understand what others are saying about how this is just a friendly game against weak opponent. Let’s see how we do against Qatar (a decent 2 level team). Why you sun out ghoddos after putting him in? That was super disrespect

If so, will be busy with work and won't be able to tune in until match finished. Although based on how we played today, it may be best to avoid the anxiety until after the match!

Did you place a bet???

I placed a $100 bet on 2 or more goals in the first half (with x3.55 odds, which was a good payoff!)

Damn that’s a good return, damet garm. Tbh I have never tried sports betting. Super interested in it but have always been weary of putting my banking info online.

Not that I'm trying to get you into gambling (your parents would be very upset with me), but the online betting sites are super safe (they have to be or they would be shut down immediately). I use DraftKings in the US, very easy to use. Their banking transfers are faster than my work's direct deposit lol!

Damn, okay that’s good to know. I’m in Canada and we have some famous betting companies here that my friends use. I have gambled a lot at casinos IRL. I will keep u updated. So when you make a win, they don’t take a fee or scam you in any way?

Honestly this was our A team, Torabi, nourafkan, amiri, milad, majid. And probably ali karimi wont be starter!

Yes it’s close to our A team, but I think at least one CB will change, maybe (hopefully) the LB, and 2 of our mids.

In the US, no fees for the win from the gambling site (they make their money when you lose, like in a casino). But if you win above a certain amount (I think around $2000 or more), they are required to keep 20% of it and send it to the state for tax purposes. Gambling in the US is regulated by the states (not the federal government). You still have to report any of your winnings at the end of the year for your taxes.

GN only looks competent when he inserts Ghoddos in the lineup.

Our team’s shape, posession, and decision-making was awful, and we made Jordan look a lot better than they actually were.

Remember how good we looked with friendlies pre-WC against Senegal & Uruguay, who were better teams? Testament to CQ’s tactical superiority. His scouting was also top-notch: who knew Taremi would become great as he has been, or Rezaeian would still be such a useful player?

Anyways, I hope GN doesn’t play Shoja & Kanaani together again, and goes back to Saman in the starting lineup. This was a perfect game for an opposition to watch and exploit our glaring weaknesses. Or else Quarterfinals exit it is.
