We beat China, on their turf
We beat S.Korea, on their turf...this one is after 39 years
We do play solid...we do see a system in play....by that I mean, we do not kick and go, we play as a team.
I think one of the most important part of this has something to do with the DUTCH coaches with Qotbi. I think they play a big role here.
The other issue here, believe it or not, we do not have any of our players in UAE
We lost a lot of great talent to arabs due to MONEY....our best players moved there to make more money and lost their edge...all of them. Look at Maziyar Zare....he was there not even one year, he lost his skill and ability....he is just getting back to be the old zare....
Kazemieyan....man that kid was great, look at him now??
I saw him against SS and man, he lost so many things.
In any case, now that our players are in Iran and Spain ( 2), we are in better shape. I think UAE will realize how they helped our national team when we beat the sh....it out of them in few months
mark my words...we will beat them and beat them good.
I just hope those who are not playing any longer for Team Melli, keep their mouth shut....i.e. KAABI
Kaabi was and is the biggest p..ie and not coachable....
I followed him from the time he played for U19 team under Hamid Derakhshan.....even then he ha problem with coaches...
first of all.....he has cheated with his Birth certificate....he does not look like U30....he is more like 35-37 years old....you can see it in his playing these days....In any case....he is out and he kept talking about team melli....you burned yourself buddy and not anyone else...
You need to learn that a coach, regardless good or bad, is a coach....is your BOSS...and you need to listen to him.
After all of his talk about Qotbi, and the fine he had to pay, he did not learn his lesson...
Mr.Kaebi....what have you done in your team?
are you really better than Heydari?
name one player in team melli that you are better than him? just one player in any position...and I give you the right to interview about team melli....just 1 player
enough of him....what do you guys think?

I know that even here in USA, everyone is bashing Qotbi....even the fat boy at LIVE CHANNEl who has no idea about soccer....I think the only ball he has ever touched was his balls yet he discuss soccer... I bet that hid dady knew people in TV and got him a job....now he becomes the expert....
other jokers are just like him...
In Iran, we have the same story....Khieyabani had just plan to bash him and nothing else in his program... I forgot the name of it...but you know what I am talking about...
I am not a Qotbi lover, I know he had made his mistakes too....but we need to give credit, when we see something good.
I think his management style has changed...
he is tougher now...he does go back and talk to players or bench them, when they say something wrong. Like what he did with Masoud Shojaie...
In any case....I think we could be hopefull for this team
we could get a good result
I don't need to remind you....all aisan teams have improved and we are getting there...
what do u think?

Iranetehhhhhhhhhhhhh

persian jan...
I think the only time we had a great defense was in the 70's....basically 78 WC team...

if you recall it...we allowed only 2 goals before qualifying....and both were by S.Korea....I might forgot something but I think that's all we allowed...
in 98 WC team....we had an OK defense but not solid either....I know there are a lot of people thinking 98 defense was great...IMHO, no, they were not. Simply, if they were good....we would not have that 2-2 Ausi, we would not have to get to that point at all...

I think the new defenders are just full of themselves....Aghili used to be more solid, so was Jalal Hosseini, but due to the fact that there has not been used any other players, they think they own those spots.
we need faster, younger, smarter

Iraneteh

remember
we are a nation of BS

I think over all Iran is playing better soccer than before...you can give Qotbi some credits... with an un-organized IPL, players are doing well.

I just want to see if Qotbi bashing will stop or not?

regardless of winning the Asian games or not....I think our media will still go against Qotbi

Both red and blue will have good games to watch...

Pas has always given PP hard time....and PP needs a win to go on top again

SS on the other hand will face their old coach...SAMAD Marfavi....and old defender...pirouz Ghorbani. That would be a good game as well....both coaches know the other teams' SOORAKH....since both coached their opponent....Mazlumi was in Mes last year and Marfavi in SS

above all....SANAT NAFT abadan and Foulad Ahvaz will have another great game....after few years that ahvaz and abadan did not play against each other, now they will

see what happends

Thank you Persian jan. That was an unforeseen outcome, now Ghotbi is on a lose situation because the expectations are very high and the nation will expect him to win the championship.

The tournament will be a very different kettle of fish

Gamed finished Iran 1 - Korea 0
Goal by Masoud Shojaie
A slow paced game with some interesting moments.  Both teams had chances to score.
Rahmati was chosen as the best player of the game.  He saved two good chances for Koreans.  Here is the goal:

I think Iran will lose this game 3-0. Lets see wht Ghotbi can come up with

Mes of Kerman? 

According to Zainali Mes have finalised a deal to bring Alexander to Mes. I think it is another BS talk from Mes. He is not a fixture in their national team so even if he joins Mes, they would be pushing it to claim they are signing a Colombian National Football Player.
