[Poll] Lose against UAE and avoid Japan or beat UAE and face Japan before the final?

[Rooyintan]

Team Melli did deliberately lost to South Korea 3:0 at 1988 AFC Asian Cup to ensure a second-place finish at group stage. It did nothing, because in the semi-finals Team Melli lost to Saudi Arabia 1:0.

That deliberate 3:0 loss to South Korea got recorded and considered one of Team Melli's worst losses.

Team Melli should not be coward and face whoever, every game is unpredictable, on a good day Team Melli wins and on a bad day losses.

Most players don't have the conditioning to get through the group stages - it's why in game three in world cups we are always so exhausted physically and mentally, in comparison with almost every other national team

Which is embarassing.

Especially now that you can sub out 5 players a game.

It's actually crazy how much rest our team needs to play poverty minutes. A lot are older but a 33 yr old ATHLETE should be able to manage at least 60 minutes of cardio every 4 days.

Personally I would prefer we lose and get Tajikistan followed by Iraq possibly but at the end of the day, we’ll need to beat the likes of Japan or Korea to win the tournament.

What if Iran tries to get second and UAE also wants second so both teams keep scoring own goals and it ends 32-32.

[oracle]

This discussion is so one-sided. Reminder: two teams are playing in this game.

If you think Iran will try to finish second, then lord knows what UAE will do to finish second. I want to assure everyone on the forum that UAE will not come for the win.

😅😅
uae will kick both cheshmi giving them pks OUT.
