Turkmenistan vs Iran March 26 Match Thread

This is so ridiculous. Such unbelievably bizarre statement from Esteghlal's officials:

Ddi you see Hosseini take out the Turkmen player in that clearance mix-up at the end?

If it was against qatar,ksa, that's a pk

[Nokhodi]

I get that. But its funny how much hate Skocic got for getting the exact same performances against the same scrappy teams. I see absolutely no difference between the two coaches as of right now. Both relying on moments of individual brilliance from our players instead of having a clear/organized plan. Both are tactically inept. We are gonna be totally embarrassed at the WC against any organized European or South American side

Skocic got replaced cause the players hated him.
He also didn't fight for the periphery TM staff (security, maintenance,...) CQ would take TM player bonuses, pool it and then give it to those people.

GN fights for players and non executive IFF employees.

This makes it clear to me that playing Ghoddos next to Ezatollahi is a must, otherwise our midfield becomes very dysfunctional. Playing him too forward makes us lose all creativity there.

This. Obvious since 1half of qatar game. Still GN keeps playing him upfront. Stupid as we have lots of options upfront but none at CM...

I literally don’t know what I watched that wasn’t football lol

I could say the same for Beiranvand - all of his mistakes have only led to one penalty.

I think one thing we can agree on is that there's no one goalkeeper that stands out.

It sucks, but we lack a strong consistent goalkeeper like we had with Beiro from 2017-2019

Speaking of azadi
there was religious ceremony there today
They allow 80k inside😅😅😅😅 w/o problem.
The renovation is an excuse for soccer crowed control....

Such lame hypocrisy. We all know what the real reason behind not letting full capacity spectators in the stadium is 🤬

Also have to add that this Esteghlal mafia stuff is such unneeded nonsense...

No club should be that unprofessional!

That's the only difference, Skocic lost the locker room and GN has kept it. When it comes to on the pitch decisions TM has made zero progress tactically and mentally since 2019. You cannot watch TM under GN and say we don't play the same scrappy disorganized football like the Lebanon game in 2021....

1-0 FT
important victory
now GN can afford to become far more experimental with his playing squad in the next two games

pretty damn solid outing in goal for Hossaini
proved he deserves more game minutes than being afforded so far ..!

ghaedi outside his brilliant finishing touch on the all important goal was pretty weak
like I said he can a huge asset so long he gets stuck-in immediately in games
with his scrunny ass physique he can ill afford to play sholmoshol o approach games nonchalantly..!

woulda liked to see bit earlier subs for milmo & Ramin

all in all we dealt well with resilient & scrappy Turkmens @ their fortress & got the most important points for progressing outa this early stage of WCQs

Thank you for putting us back on the same page

He got all ball. Had it been Beiro it would've be a different story.

I hope so bro , but I guarantee to you that GN will not play a single young player in the next 2 games …..

Taremi is done , he is done , no matter if he goes to inter or what he is not going to be the same player that he was …. He is out of form and not an impactful player anymore …

we need to give other players a chance Taremi played 180 minutes against a weak Turkmenistan and what did he did he do ?!?!?!?
Nothing so why not put a younger Instead of him

trust me bro the TM list that is going to the World Cup 2026 is basically already set no matter , what ppl think GN has already choosed all the players he wants , so inviting some younger players to make it look like they’re making the team young trust me it’s all a show it’s all a farce it’s all fake

wait and see if we make it to your World Cup ?!? A big if now considering how we played against Turkmenistan , if this was against an Arab team we would have had a player sent off for sure !!!

Based of what I have seen GN will not be giving younger players a chance …



cause the next 2 meaningless but very important games against Hong Kong and Uzbekistan, if GN had the balls he go with a purely young line up, all 11 spots so at least these young players can get tested and we really see their potential… win or lose we need it

Spain here playing two 17 year olds and one 18 year in a friendly against Columbia even those they lost they didn’t care it was experience for them …

and we are proud we have like a 27 years old his first cap .?!?!?

and we claiming the squad average age is 26 now , yea cause you invited a 17 year old goalkeeper who is never going to play a minute.?!?!?

I am tired of these games I mean I don’t want it to be a big let down cause the World Cup 26 is going to be huge ….. and I can already see us being a HUGE disappointment…….
