Iran hasn’t been defeated for 22 - 25 matches before the word cup.

You idiot think playing with Portugal and Spain is easy.

Ronaldo must have been given a red card and lost next two match but degree decided to give him jus a yellow .
Also how was Spain goal against us in your view ?

there is no need for naming calling, im just stating what irani team is.

morocco is ranked lower than iranis and yet they made two lead goals against spain, were unlucky not to win it.

on the other hand iranis were lucky to make any goal in the tournament.

i dont remember the goal.

Let just say our defence wanted to kick the ball away from our goal and incidentally hit Spain player and the ball bounce back to our goal.

iranis played too defensively i think there was always a goal coming one way or another.

Only about six countries take cricket seriously so the lack of satisfaction at not winning is understandable lol. Football on the other hand is an actual world sport. Even qualifying to the FIFA world cup is a huge achievement so the celebration is understandable given that they gave a tough time to two of the best teams in the world currently.

That is the problem with Carlos’ game plan. By playing extremely defensive at all times, you are forcing your players to capitalize on fewer and fewer offensive opportunities. Unfortunately for Iran, their attackers are not good enough for such a stratergy.

Iran’s passing is still very poor and dribbling also poor. They can connect the first and second pass, but not the 3rd or if they do get in front of the goal they miss the shot.

Iran really needs to focus on offense for next 4 years as well as improving their passing.

Against Spain they showed that they can play effective offense and still play adequate defense. But against Morrocoo and Portugal they once again played very conservative defensive only.

The last game against Portugal was a refereeing farce. Iran were unlucky though, Ronaldo deserved a red card.

Its not like we couldn't pressure spain after the goal we pressured them , in the game against portugal which was European champion we pressured them when we wanted .
Its just our team feel confident enough to let opponent control the ball in majority of the game. our problem was not not being able to control the ball or making game , we had problem finishing . that all stopped us from advancing . our play was not a 100% all out defense in front of goal. we have a multilayered defense which started from middle of the field which to be honest a very hard thing to do correctly and now after seven year constant practice and training under Queiroz we can boast we are one of the few that can do that .
our forward in this cup was Sardar Azmoon , in the 99 minute of the game against Portugal he ran the field for more than 40 time so you can't say it was all defence .

There should have been a VAR review for penalty box after Iranian player was grabbed from behind and taken to the ground in penalty box.

Referee refused to ask for VAR and even stopped play to tell Iran coach to calm down.

Unbelivable. Iran in fact should have 2 penalty box kicks awarded.

But in the end Iran had chance to win it with late goal, but Mehdi completely botched the shot into the side net.

Both Mehdi and jahanbaksh were useless this World Cup. Sardar Azmoon looked lost offensively and Made his title of “Iranian Messi” a cruel joke.

you had some nice defense against spain, but it ultimately built the pressure on the game, there is no fun watching a team which cannot score and tbh iranians never looked like a goal scoring team in the world cu infact their last 2 world cups, did they score a goal? i dont remember. morocco on the other hand made many attacks, but were just unlucky t make own goal.

i didn't watch the portugal game tbh, so cannot comment on the game, but protugal team is very pathetic, the only guy making them look good is ronaldo, not even nani guy.
