Iran-Iraq Revisited

[Lorestani]

Not really. Being a man down in any quarterfinal match is a death sentence. After 3 games being tired and loosing one of your best defenders it is very hard to win when your teams success is based on its solid defensive line, which was no longer there.

Difficult? Yes. Impossible? Never. Also, there was no lack of a "solid defensive line". Hajsafi, who played an entire tournament as leftback in the 2011 Asian Cup, replaced Pouladi, so you can't really argue that the defensive line was weakened. If anything, it was the midfield that was weakened, because Vahid Amiri was too inexperienced to cover an area usually covered by more than one player.

"And just like the Battle of Qadisiyyah in 636AD, The Arabs tear the Persian pussies a new asshole and remind them who's boss again. HAhahahahah Love it!!! And congratulation to the UAE (nation of 4 million) on beating Japan and reaching the Semi-Finals too."

Just ignore them. We all know the Arabs will watch the next WC at home again.

Mistake No. 1 - Never read YouTube Comments.

They remove the red Card scene from the highlights and talk about this like they won fairly. It reminds me of their chemical war.
