I saw the Iran and Portugal game. These are my understanding from the game! First I wish to post this.however, I watched Italy and USA game and then realized how different we are!
1. Ivankovich showed why Ivic was a better coach in 1998. In 1998 Iran was playing 90 min. football and a more of less a game plan. Ivic really changed the Iranian team in 1998. However, Branko showed that he has been affected by Iranian mentality, live for today, god is great for tomorrow! No Plan what so ever! Or if there was a plan it was only one plan and if the other team knew how we will play, since there was no other plan we were screwed!
2. Iranian, European based players showed that they are too tired to play for Iran! And I think they definitely make more money there than playing for team Melli. Excluding Mahdavi kia, Zandi who came in quite late because of injury. And showed that They have touch of Europian players!
2.1. I realized we have two type of players, tall who can head the ball! and short who can run a little with the ball! Many of Iranian players don't know how to pass the ball! or get the ball and run!
3. Mizapour is worst than 4 years ago and he must find another profession than goal keeping!! I am not sure how many of you saw the game of US and Italy, but did you see how Casey Keller was goal keeping and bossing the goal keeping area? Mirza still has problem talking to players and assigning them during the corner kicks! Nikonam was doing this!!! And many occasion there were no one at post one!
4. Iran had no plan, just sporadic attack with Kia crossing the ball and may be Hashemian get it to head it in! This reminded me of the system we used to play in streets, I know you, you are my friend, so pass the ball on my legs or head and I score!!
5. Khatibi needs a lot more to learn! This is not first liga of Iran!
6. The defense except some smart move by Kabi and Nosrati it was not much to show! Rezai showed that he has not learn anything in Italy. All he knows is mentality of losing to big teams idea! (He once said that in his interview, that in Italy small teams always lose to big teams!)
7. This team was not prepared to run under pressure for 90 mins. Now that is why they say German team is tournament’s team. As time passes they get better and better!
8. People who saw US and Italy, realized how plans were calculated for every possible setback. US had two read carded and then every time with a new substitution they were using all the spaces behind the Italian defense! I think they deserved to win, today!
9. The team which their players run not enough, seems to have less player than the opponent team. We were 11 players and 3 attacking players, but since they were not running it seemed that there was only one! However, with US and Italy game, after they lost two player to red card, it still seemed that they were 10 against the 10 players!
10. As long as this government is around with poor management, winning here and there will not do any good to anyone. This government is not good to show what the happiness is. A team without happiness and relaxed mind can not play a good game!
11. We still don’t know what our national anthem is! We don’t know what flag we are cheering for! What national color our jersey must have! What are we cheering for!
12. How come there were no Iranians in the stadium audience?? Anyone remembers the Iranian Football Federation during Mr. Safahi farahani? During that year many people were able to get tickets and go watch the games! However, in Dakan mafia Football federation, the tickets they got from FIFA I suppose they sold to others or give away to those who are high authority(i.e. az ma behtaroon)! Or may be trading for a higher price in the market so many of the audiences from opponent team could attend!!!
13. Once again the most needed element in Iranian team is self confidence and reliability and dependency with one another! Thanks to this regime we learn how to avoid those!
14. This World cup as many other things in Iran will be completely get forgetten! and 4 years from now we will do the same thing! As usual! (hoping I am wrong!)
14.1. I heard the game was reported by Adel Ferdosi pour! to my knowledg whenever he reports any important game of Iran, we lose big time! (I kinda don't like him to report! I prefere Kheybani!! (this is personal thing!)
