IRAN vs JAPAN post match thread and player ratings

[Karimi 8]

I’ve been awake sicne 3 am, I woke up before my alarm since I was so excited for the match, and I have been riding this high feeling all day haven’t crashed. This is one of the best moment ever to be a TM fan in recent days. The players played with so much heart and gave us so much joy.

This is probably the happiest Iranians (in Iran and in diaspora) have been in a long time. I'm not even sure the Wales match win was as sweet (given all the BS politics the online trolls liked to attach to TM players during the WC). I must say, for a first time in a long time, it feels so GOOD to be a TM fan!

I think we at PFDC deserved this too after all these years working hard on this forum, this is a thank you PFDC gift to all of us.

Thanks PFDC

Best tournament result since revolution particularly given the context of previous game going to 120 minutes, 90 hours recovery since then, some players ? recovering from virus etc... against a team which has beaten Germany, turkey, Peru, canada etc... by four goals over the last few months

Fantastic

I live in London and watched a game with my close buddy who is also a popular pfdc member

The game was scheduled for 11.30, so it was an early one!

we started with a pre-game "Baby Guinness" shot and carried on with a few beers throughout the game. It was a stressful game, but he and I started believing we could win after the disallowed Azmoun game.

Post game we had a BBQ with dandeh kabab, jojeh, jenjeh and koobideh, all homemade by my dad. We continued the day with more drinks at the local pub. What a fucking day!

Today and the Wales game are probably some of the best days I've spent with my buddy here in London, so many good memories were made!

love it bro, enjoying the best that there is to offer form London and your culture, i wish I had a close friend like that who was also nearby and into football. Enjoy it man

SHIRRRREH RAAAAAAAAAMIN ..!!
"Sharaf, Sharaf" mentions in his lil speech was an exact reference and huge and well-deserved Bilaakh to those VatanFooroosh, Low Life scums who were screaming Bi-Sharaf @ our players during the World Cup ..!!

ps
you can tell the interviewer was getting nervous about what siasi comment he may make next and kept trying to quickly cut him off

I’ll never forget when I got robbed of that Canada match. I don’t know when I’ll be in Iran next to see TM… But in Canada I bought 9 tickets for the match, all my Canadian friends know team melli players old and new, they were gonna come to the stadium. I bought a flight, planned the day, a whole trip to not only see iran, but our A team! And for what, did the match being canceled make anyone that wanted it cancelled’s life better ? No all it did was get forgotten for them, but forever ruin and rob true fans a once in a lifetime expericne.

Saman is a gem!

True... the unsung hero today in my view ....!
he played his heart out .. pressed the shitt outa japanies players All Over the pitch and made himself available as a passing outlet and as usual was his brilliant self in transition ..!!
our equalizer started out with him mad-rushing the jap keeper forcing him to semi-clear it to ARJ who laid the ball back to the top of box to sadar for that classy, velvet-touch through-ball to Mohebi..!!
Sammy was the king of Intangibles Contributions today ...!! him and similarly so Ebrahimi ..!!

Bei and Milmo were bit underwhelming ... nearly everyone else had an standout performance ... especially in 2nd half..!!
