That Ramin Rezaeian conspicuous by his absence both at the first penalty and when Meyti Taremi red carded while ruched back to defend.
Rezaian leaves his post most of the time hoping to score, stay in your hecking position for the hell of it!
I cant understand what kind of right defender he is!?

[Nokhodi]

So that was a complete shit show!!!!
How we failed to score so many chances by trying to be too freaking cute!!!
then that braindead tackle by Taremi (bcoz idiot Mohebbi stopped running)
GN also was a disaster wt his subs;
1.taking JB out
2. Keeping Mohebbi on
3. Taking Gholi out when Mohebbi was a clusterfuking disaster

Japan can't wait to meet us

100% agree!
Gholi only went out because Mohebbi was probably ahead of him in the penalty shootout order.

About the man of the match. AFC picked Hajsafi but Khiabani was saying one website picked the left defender of syria and khodadad was saying what did a defender do to even become the man of the match? khiabani said you are not right every time and khodadad almost stood up to hit the guy and shouted and said I am a footballer and did not see him deserving and Khiabani was saying that other experts gave him high rating. Basically he wants to get back at Khodadad as it shows azizi doesn't really like Khiabani at all.

jesus lmao azizi sounds a bit unhinged but khiabani def poking the bear

[Nokhodi]

For Japan game:

————Azmoun————
————Ghoddos————
Ghayedi——————Gholi
——Ezatolahi—Ebrahimi—
Hajsafi-Shoja-Cheshmi-Ramin
————Beiranvand———

I dont' think your lineup defensively can handle the speed the Japanese will have.
Haji Safi was excellent today. Our best player, but he can't handle Japanese speed and combination play.
Cheshmi even worse!

Webbie jan would you like me to make Iran vs Japan match thread or do you want to?

You can do it

[Ostad_Goosfand]

This gave me flashback to the HK game.
Sad thing is, now Moharrami is out + MT. How much worse can it get?

it is what it is. ive seen many tournaments in many sports. better to be lucky than good. moharrami injury and taremi suspension is bad luck but we made 5/5 penalties. people on reddit saying iran had 5 of the best penalties ever, all unsaveable. maybe our luck has turned. who knows

lineup vs Japan

Beiro
Ramin-Kanaani-Shoja-MilMo
Ezat-Hajsafi
Gholi-Ghoddos-JB
Azmoun

Game was in total control, we were playing much slower than we should have but still ok.

Azmoun was awful in final actions, but still even after PK IMO not much should have changed. We would have kept creating and eventually found a goal.

What killed us was GN subbing ghayedi and Ghoddos for Mohebbi and Omid. Immediately, even before the taremi red that put us down to an effective 9 men.

No idea what the thought process was there... After that team had no playmaking and cbs started to feel pressured into play making...and thats what caused taremi red. Cheshmi randomly strides forward and promptly passes ball to syrians, huge whole is left bc of GN retarded 2 man cm system and suddenly taremi has to cover and make tactical foul to prevent 2v1.

After that it was a total mess...I still somehow give credit to the incapable 10 guys that suddenly found themselves in this perilous situation, at least they didnt capitulate from there. Great pks.

Vs Japan we are screwed royally. I hope GN will be a bit humble and stfu pre game. ARJ did better today, credit to him. He should keep spot vs Japan. Ghayedi was lively today but not very effective. Defensively hes a zero and we need serious cover for hajsafi on that side.

I would go with:

Beiro

Ramin Majid/Kanani Shoja Hajsafi

Ezatolahi Ghoddos

ARJ Torabi Gholizadeh

Azmoun

or some variation (Can play gholi central and torabi wide left?). Mohebbi surely cant start after that horror-show. But GN never fails to surprise.

[Pishi_Rules]

GN looks like a deer in headlights

He also looked off his face too.. this dude high or what ?

Beiro could have received a red card for that foul. He nearly broke the player's ankle

[Nokhodi]

The reason it became a PK is because it wasn't offside. If the assistant referee gets it wrong, VAR corrects him and then it would be a penalty because the foul still occurred.

If it was actually offside, no VAR check for penalty.

Even if the blew (mistakenly) for offside in the field?

[Hosseini]

true but if im not mistaken refereee raise flag quick? imo that should negate penalty. what if beiro did clumsy tackle just cause he thought ref called offside already? not saying thats the case and wasnt deserved but i would like to know official ruling

Offside is called when the referee BLOWS for it, not when AR raises it. So they are told to delay. If the referee blew for it early then it would have broke up the play and Beiro would not have fouled

[Nokhodi]

BTW, can anyone tell me that VAR doesn't have a right to interfere once the flag goes up! That's how they got the penalty.

Did we get screwed?

That was my understanding too! I think it was definitely a penalty, but the process wasn't followed properly.

Does Syria have a player called SAVAK .. I keep hearing this name?

will be the ultimate Irony if he scores to knock out Islamic Republic of Iran (quoting that c*nt of a commentator)

They have a player named Sabbagh - maybe that's who you were hearing?
