Iran vs Uzbekistan 9/11/2018 Match Thread

[Leicester City]

Ah yes the classic 1-0 result, CQ will be happy with the result

[Ghermez Agha]

Yup - even Afghanistan allows it. But ease up with the facts bro - you are going to easily offend Sirvan, he doesn't like when dooshmand say truth about IR. He isposting in this thread.

yes this was the exact video I was referring to I remember you had shared this in the general forum. truly remarkable for them and a reminder for us how freaking awful IR is....

Heading to the traditional 1-0 scoreline

You know, there is nothing wrong with that... if it accomplishes the goal, that is all matters. Italy used to do that!!

[Tehranto]

you didnt even mention amiri, who arguably could walk straight in and replace ebrahimi

That is very true. Sometimes, we underestimate the tools we have under CQ.

We badly need Sardar Azmoun, without him our productivity in front of the goal drops by 90% or so

LMFAO, Y'all need to stop acting like this Dollar store Ali Daei is the end all be all of Iranian strikers. Not much would have been different if we had Azmoun up there today.

[Tehranto]

Saudi allows women in stadiums and Afghanistan now has beautiful pop stars performing half time shows in their football stadiums....so yes IR is managing to do the unthinkable and make us look the most backwards

I think Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, major parts of Iraq, and the Vatican cathedral will disagree with the last part of your statement.

In Afghanistan and Iraq it's not the government forcing its female citizens to wear hijab. It's mainly their family's moral/religious traditions forcing their daughters/wives wearing hijab.

[sirvan]

In other words: our team is not complete without him

First Official Post!

Hi Friends,
First, I wanted to say this is my first official post in the forums after years of monitoring and reading everyone's comments / threads. Happy to finally contribute to this brilliant community!
Second, cheers to all those folks who watched the game at work
Last but definitely not least, my comments on the game.. I think at times the players showed some unnecessary frustration and lost focus (perhaps due to lack of games / playing time since the world cup) but at other times, we truly did see a different TM. What was noticeable and I'm not sure if everyone saw this too was the amount of passes we completed (anyone have that stat?). It's true that CQ always said we can't play like we do in front of Asian Teams in the WC against Spain but the difference was massive.. Honestly, for the first time in a few years, it was nice to see so much passing and game play. My only complaint was the repeated lost chances that the players created by taking the ball to the sides and just crossing it over, in hopes of a header to go in. They kept repeating that tactic and it didn't seem to work well for them after the 5th time.. Would love to hear everyone's thoughts!

[Kavian]

They actually zoomed in and showed some women in stadium earlier on today

Either Uzbekistan is real weak and clueless or TM is doing a darn good job containing them.

Abedzadeh’s timings on his exits on aerial balls make me nervous. Very faulty

Keano jaan .. his father was the same, although a great goalkeeper/leader by any standard.

TM showed moments of brilliance for sure .. Uzbeks were clueless!

[Futbaldoost]

Watched on and off between meetings and overall I think it was a valuable friendly (thank you Uzbek Federation). Second half performance was in general what I would like to see in AC plus clinical finishes (if Mehdi had taken his shot right after dribbling the goalie it would have been 2-0). In short, 2nd half was a fast-paced ball movement game with many young players who will be around for a while and will be the heart and soul of the team through AC and WC 2022 (Ezzatolahi, Majid Hosseini, Milad, Sadegh, Ghoddoos, Torabi, Gholizadeh and ARJ in the 1st half). Abedzadeh had a bunch of good saves but his exits on high serves were unreliable.

P.S. Khiabani should retire. His play-by-plays are too slow and lack adequate enthusiasm and he makes way too many mistakes about players identities (he kept calling Gholi Torabi and he didn't even apologize for his errors when he finally corrected himself) and this is a trend that started a while ago.

Iran is the only country in the universe that doesn't allow women in the stadium and the only country in the universe to enforced hijab.
