Iran - Russia Friendly Thread

[perspolis#1]

This World Cup is just a retirement tour for our players. They dont care.

They just want to be able to buy toilet paper at Costco.

This Russia team is miles slower than the African/S. American/European teams we will play.

They figured out our CBs are slow lateral runners. You guys dont think actual coaches in Europe etc will find that out quicker?

Be cool my beautiful homies.

Offensively I've seen alot of good ideas and potential for Iran.
Defense is horrible.
Ezatollahi, Shoja, Noorafkan the main culprits.

Bro, the time to be cool was MAYBE after the 5th draw in a row against Uzbekistan.

But this is Iran's 3rd game in a row without a win, and against some poor to mediocre teams, two of which aren't even going to be at the world cup.

Ghalenoi needed to be fired yesterday. It's too late...

I'm really glad I stopped giving af about team melli... Today I was like f it let me watch again and it reminded me of how peaceful life without team melli was

This is our third game in a row without a win...we're 7 games from the world cup and the starting lineup average age was 30. IDK if its time to be cool

Especially when he keeps playing Beiro, Shoja, Nemati, Noorafkan, etc. Not to mention he keeps playing our most "mid" youngsters like Yousefi and Ghorbani. Why not give Hosseinejad at least 30 min? Zare? Khalife? Allahyar? Khodabandelou?

This game is another proof that the current coaching staff despite of being on the job for number of years is still pretty confused and inconsistent in their player selection.

players come and go and no one knows why they are no show after and then suddenly they appear. One such player is Danial Esm. .. he was tested a number of times in the past and never performed well. All of a sudden he is here today. For me what reason no one knows. If he is not going to be part of WC team why bother .. look at how he is playing today! Just doesnt have it.

Oh boy, how did I miss this?

JB should've probably been sent off there for that rash challenge/extremely high kick

Shoja again making an amateurish mistake .. as a defender you never head the ball right in the middle of 18 ..you send it to the sides.

[Kavian]

This defense line is a joke

Russia has found the hole. All their attacks come from Ramin and Nemati side
