This picture was the story of this match :( Minamino dived for a freekick , the ref called nothing, Rezaeian, Ebrahimi, Hajsafi, Kanaani and Pouraliganji all run into the ref asking for yellow for the Japanese player. but Minamino chased the ball and ...

 

this is probably the difference between Iran and Japan in football. lack of professionalism.

I heard that from the Iranian commentator during the match, but I just never trust them they talk lots of nonsense

Bahrain scored     Sorry, I learned today that the curly hair player is injured and he's not playing this tournament.     Syria will be the surprise then

only for the knockout rounds. even though I'm not a big fan of VAR but that's probably necessary in AFC more than anywhere else. the whole story of AFC Asian Cup would be different if we had VAR in pr

To be fair, the Iran players returned in time to the box, it's just the japanese player made a perfect cross. 

 

they returned to the box but all of them behind the Japanese player. of course the cross was perfect but if they were in positions that was no problem to defend that ball. they probably would not even let Minamino to cross the ball.  in normal situation Japan can't score a header against Iran.

 

after all mistakes are part of football. but still 5 players doing the same mistake is something I never seen before. and this is probably what we deserve for complaining too much about the refs. that's the stupid culture we have. not just in football.

 

now it's like a national disaster here. the atmosphere is terrible. but at least this time it wasn't in a dramatic way and that was our first defeat in regular time in AFC Asian Cup after 23 years !

I think Iran missed a big chance here. In 4 years it will be harder in East Asia with another (maybe worse) coach than Queiroz. He's now going to Colombia.

 

of course, and we knew that. Iran will be always a favorite for the Asian Cup (even in 2011 and 2015 when we had not-so-good teams) but that was our best chance here. we also had lots of fans in the stadiums

 

yeah Queiroz said goodbye after the match, and I don't think our next coach will be better than him. I doubt our federation can pay a big coach anymore. they will probably hire a local coach or go after a cheap Ex-Yugoslavian coach. but one thing is for sure, we will be coachless for months ! :facepalm:

I think I'm gonna support Qatar in the final. the semifinal was too easy for them. even though the first goal was a dumb GK mistake. but Qatar plays so good , they are hugely improved comparing to World Cup qualifiers.

 

I still think Japan will be favorite. they just know how to win big games. they change gear when it matters. but it will be stupid to write Qatar off.

      Fencing FIE World Cup 2024 - 2025

      I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.

      Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't.

      Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.

      Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.

      No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal.

      Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?

      Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.

      No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
