CQ apology Thread

[DR Strangemoosh]

Easy it never happened loool. Also we lost to Sweden, Bosnia, Argentina, Albania and Oman just from the top of
My mind. Overall we haven't lost much and have a great record but it's strange how People just pick and choose which matches count as a loss, but every win counts as a win friendly losses don't count but the wins do... AC, doesn't count either apparently Lool.

Take it up with fifa, betting sites, and the rest of the footballing world bro.

To all intents and purposes, a draw at the end of normal time is considered a draw for ranking purposes.

I don't have an answer for you but I think it's not counting friendlies or tournaments. Also it says lost to Asian teams and I think it is counting after the Oman game. So the Iraq one is the only one being ignored and I guess it's because it was in a tournament and also not a loss in the 120 minutes.

1 question ; why is everybody speaking of a 29 games in a row without lost? What happened to our loss against Iraq in the AC game?

We were a centimetre away from losing in the first round were it not for the (at the time described on this site as...) "non-iranian" Vahid Hashemian coming back and getting us through....

that's right. that was one of my all-time happiest team melli moments. what a nerve-wracking game in Doha.

[DR Strangemoosh]

I don't want to hype anyone up because the dangers of bot-parasti have been seen time and again in iranian football, but CQ's transformation of this team speaks for itself (getting the diaspora into iranian football, teaching the team discipline for the first time ever).
There is always room for criticism, I remember the brangoh days when he was untouchable by some people even when we were playing awful football and he refused to remove Mirzapour or sub Daei (and brought back the dreaded Khatibi), and the development of the young players (Mobali, Jabbari, Borhani etc...) was stifled instead of being encourages. So I fully encourage people to criticise CQ because however much he has improved things, there is always room for improvement. And our goal should be the second round of WC2018.

....we "fluked" into qualification in 2006? Hm, interesting. The way I remember it, we qualified with a game in hand and treated our last game against Japan as zangeh-tafri. Agree with the rest of your post though.

That is a draw. For all official results - the result at the end of full time is what is registered. The same for betting.
Fifa rankings log that as a draw.

really?
weird, IMHO its a loss and i cannot see it otherwise, just because it was through penalties doesn't change the result ; at the end Iraq went through and our players flew back....
But as you state; it is the official FIFA standard, so its just my opinion ; )

He means the earlier round with Jordan and Qatar where we were almost eliminated were it not for a last minute goal by Hashemian.

[ramingeles2000]

To the original thread opener - how many previous qualification campaigns have you seen? Are you saying you have seen a more disciplined Iran before?
We only just fluked qualification into 2006 by the skin of our teeth. We were always so inconsistent. This team looks consistently solid and the deimi football of the past is dead.
There is still lots of room for improvement, but CQ has given us an amazing foundation with players who are LESS talented than we had 10 or 20 years ago. Sorry, but it's true.

By the way, CQ has the record (by a long way) of 29 unbeaten games against Asian opposition.

His official record outside friendlies is 62.7% winning rate with 90.6% (win/draw) and 8.4% loss rate. (Most of his losses have been in friendlies)

A world away from what we were used to, when we always had a sudden WCQ loss against Bahrain or Qatar or UAE or someone....

I personally like his style of football compared to deimi football of the past which had no game plan. I prefer watching a unit in-sync rather than aimless play with moments of genius. But I do understand if people prefer e.g. Mayeli-Kohan's style which certainly made for entertainment - though we were never sure if we were going to lose or win 6-0

Montazeri is gone for months unfortunately

It sucks that he is gone, but we tbh dont need Montazeri any right now. After Korea game, we play Syria which have weak attack then dont play til close to Nowruz when he should be back.. PAG can also take over his role very easily.

[KeonKish]

I think its so important that Dejagah, Azmoun, Ando Jahanbaks, are all rested and ready to go.. Any word on Montazeri??

Also keep in mind Korea is missing their best CB and have to fly in to Tehran now

Although the ball is round and anything can happen CQ set it up the way that we have the advantage, Although we are still the under dog
