What is there to discuss? He's been playing like that at club level since 2022 and Belgium. You could probably make a 15 minute video of all of his sootis in the last 3 years that led to concessions in goals. Persepolis fans will come to his defense as usual but Beiranvand post 2021 is an awful awful goalkeeper. Skocic benching him for Abedzadeh wasn't because of a single mistake vs Abedzadeh. He also broke his nose by colliding both into Majid Hosseini at World Cup and then again at CAFA by knocking into Saeed. Handball outside of box against HK, penalty conceded to Syria, easy deflection goal concession vs Japan, bad performance vs Qatar. His only saving grace post Covid was being able to save penalties and he can't even do that now. 24 goals conceded in 20 starts for TM.

I think Barsham is prob worst keeper in AFC rn it is true lol

God help us 😞

Are we ever gonna discuss why beiro refused to dive against Qatar for Almoez winning goal?

What a podcast. Ghotbi is an excellent speaker. Could listen to him for hours. Team included chapters so you can skip through all the stuff not related to TM

Always respected how professional he is. I wish he was a part of our NT staff. Not sure about coach, but as an assistant coach he would be great.

I think my ideal TM staff, have: Some sort of defensive minded football head coach then Ghotbi, Bagheri, 2-3 decent foreign tactician, decent foreigner GK coach, and probably Mahdavikia as diaspora ambassador .

Saudi Arabia's most experienced defender who got injured in the Pakhtakor-Al Hilal game (Ali Al Bulaihi) out for 3-4 weeks and won't make the March qualifier rounds. Might make a difference given they are playing some tricky games vs China and Japan.
