Congrats to Australia , that was a well-deserved win. I still think this is the less-talented Australian team I ever seen but that doesn't matter. they achieved what the better Australian teams didn't.

that's the dumb Taremi I talked about, he is usually good in forcing defenders to give him cheap penalties. but not in last minute of a very match like this. obviously that wasn't a penalty but even if it was, the ref wouldn't called it. 4 years ago it was Taremi again who missed the last chance in last seconds of match against Portugal. I assume he will be remembered by goals he didn't score.

Queiroz took over only 2-3 months ago. he didn't follow Iranian football in past 4 years and he had no other choice to bring his old players. Iran was the oldest team of the competition because of that reason. Jalali was the only new player he brought with himself and that was his first or second match with the NT. as for Taremi, I said this before he is very dumb and very smart at the same time. unfortunately tonight was the bad side of him. he is still a great player but just not tonight and not in this tournament. or maybe we were asking too much from him. lots of guys will retire for sure and to be honest 5-6 of them couldn't even dream of playing at the World Cup 3 months ago but Queiroz called them up since he had no time to test new players. our league is more like gladiator battles. no idea how our team will look like in future. not even sure if there is a future.

ppff, it was a huge mistake to start with Azmoun. he is a 50 minutes player now and Queiroz had to save him for the last 20-30 minutes. and what about Taremi ? who was supposed to be our best player in this tournament but except that goal in England he was just a shadow of himself. and what he was thinking diving for a penalty while he had a chance to score. no referee will call a penalty in favor of Iran against USA in 100th minute of a WC knockout match. USA deserved the win because of their first half performance. as usual they suck in 2nd half. but Iran didn't create enough chances to score. there were some chances here and there but in all of them the ball went to the wrong player, nobody excepts Karimi or PAG to score. yeah it feels terrible now but still I'm proud of the team considering all problems they had to get here. they faced lots of enemies inside and outside. changing the coach only few months before the cup, friendly matches being cancelled. and that humiliating defeat against England. they still did good after that.

yep, he is our Neymar I mean not only in acting. but in other negative things.

OK this is another England match, once again they forgot how to play football. it could be easily 3-0 . on the positive side, at least no more stress.

USA is going to score sooner or later, we can't hold it forever.

they didn't sing it in the first match but were forced to do so in 2nd and 3rd matches. it was mostly just moving the lips instead of really singing anything. they were pressured to do so for sure but not like that for sure. that's a fantasy story by CNN.

no I'm sure they are all Iranians

29 November 1997 is the most historical day in Iranian football history, 25 years later let's see what 29 November 2022 brings us

Was that penalty correct in POR/URU match ? really surprised Faghani called it a penalty. he is usually good in these kind of calls. even if FIFA claims that's a penalty per rules, that's nonsense to me, players can't cut their arms when they are falling on the ground.

Kim Kim Kim Kim Kim doesn't work anymore. bring in Lee Lee Lee Lee Lee

and Iran bronze medalist in 2nd pic is Mobina Heidari and silver medalist in the last one is Mehdi Khodabakhshi (not the taekwondo athlete) yes Russia hosted few international events in other sports (including lots of events in wrestling) to keep their athletes in shape. but I assume this so-called "Grand Prix" in Karate was high level comparing to other sports.

oh well these guys are unbelievable. in past few months everybody and their dogs filed a complaint against IFF in FIFA. (obviously FIFA threw them all away) they just desperately want to show, see we can do that too. they also sent another one about the FA for writing iRAN and not IRAN on their shirts for England/Iran match and another one against Klinsmann because of his comments (apparently he works for some committee in FIFA) so be careful guys, Totallympics could be next

Canada would be a much better team with a proper coach, they had to kill Croatia's momentum at the end of 1st half and finished it 1-1. you have to play dirty sometimes but that requires a real coach, not a random guy on the bench. and Croatia showed once again why they are always dangerous.

I happen to watch football (and so many other sports) on different countries sport channels and I have to say almost everywhere (except Iran) they use 2 commentators for almost all sports. which is a good thing to me, 1 commentoator usually misses lots of things. it's hard to watch out for everything while constantly talking I thought only in Iran they use only 1 guy to do the job (which is usually terrible with few exceptions) now you are saying that's not just Iran

Japan is in a good situation but if Germany beats Spain things will get very complicated for them as for Iran, I believe we are still the underdog, we will lose badly the moment we forget that. those non-football related factors are still there. a former NT player got arrested few hours before the Wales match. and again all those keyboard warriors are blaming the current NT players for that (right now they are responsible for every bad thing in the world) but it seems after the total disaster of the first match they learned to only count on themselves. they are good as long as they are ahead (or the score is tied) A total collapse is still very much possible if they concede the first goal.

I stand on my previous opinion opinion that Saudis celebrated too much after the first match. it's OK to celebrate such a huge huge win but you should at least wait until the end of the competition. and publishing the looker room's videos in middle of the competition was another mistake. these kind of things usually backfire. I think they played good today, they lost because of lack of concentration.

I would love to see what Renard is saying to his players right now The video of his motivational speech at half time vs Argentina got viral here and they scored twice at the start of 2nd half, Poles should be careful now

old habits die hard these things won't buy you a red card (for the opponent) in VAR era, but it will take time for Asian players (and Neymar) to get use to it

This is probably the worst Australian team I ever seen yet they managed to beat Peru in the WCQ playoffs and now Tunisia here, impressive results for coach Arnold 4 AFC teams with a win which will keep them alive until the last match, Korea is still alive too with a draw against Uruguay. (obviously Qatar doesn't belong here) I hope some of them (at least 1) advance to the knockout round. funny how some "experts" were talking about the level of Asian teams after just 2 matches. Saudis can seal the deal today but I have a feeling it will be different this time. they celebrated too much after the Argentina match.

I didn't count but I think we have something like 10 daily sports newspapers no need to say that all of them are 95% about football. and Jorginho should be in jail for all those crimes + whoever let him took the 3rd penalty

Jurgen Klinsmann surely will never get a job here his comments on BBC about our "culture" and how we cheat is all over the news. the same person who saw Iran in the Arab Cup !! being a good footballer/diver doesn't make you a good pundit or analyst

don't worry only 3 goals to make up for Rensenbrink's hat trick in 1978. no more. or we can settle it another way, by penalties. both teams have great records in Penalty shootouts.

yes I have RAI on satellite and watched few matches on it (before finding another TV with English commentators, don't laugh Taliban TV !) can't stand Iranian commentators anymore. I prefer any other language over our own (no problem with the language. just don't like the state TV football commentators) he had a short but good time in Iran, was quite popular, I believe you heard his story. there were even street protests in favor of him ! I think Cheshmi who scored the 1st goal was his player in Esteghlal. my Italian is not that good but I think he is mentioning something about nobody expected this guy to score. at the moment no, but Esteghlal is my childhood favorite team. I used to cry for their defeats but that was looong time ago
