Team Melli - Game clock management & tactic

[KeonKish]

Spain was diving every Time we tackled them outside the 18

Half of those freekicks weren’t even fouls.

There was like 4 where the replay showed the tackles were all ball.

Plus it’s fucking Spain. Give me a break, these clowns are the reason people dive. (Ramos)

To clarify, I avoided the word 'grass rolling' in this poll and didn't want to say that because it ISN'T part of game management per se - i.e. what Beiravand did with Costa altercation and what Rezaein did on a few occasions. It wasn't necessarily all Spanish fans directing insults at TM palyer; lots of neutrals from European countries that thought Iran was wasting time and taking the game out of its rhythm (specially in first half).

Their 'clasico' has basically been a circus show of playacting and time-wasting for the best part of 20 years, so lol at them to start preaching now.

I don't like it but until the authorities do something to clean it up, then I'm all for using it to our advantage as will everyone else.
