I don't think a few good players can really do much to lift a side that's just bog standard - it's not realistic. Having said that, I wasn't expecting Iran to be this poor. But it's typical Iran, always very good against the Asian sides... but against anyone else they play like dogshit. Be careful, he might disappear and then joke about how Iran don't have quality players towards you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Despite how horribly drab this game has been, Iran has deserved it. Morocco have hugely underperformed given the side they have and tactically Carlos Quieroz won the night as they have nullified Morocco completely.

I don't think we've had much quality on display tbf. I think you can have quality individuals without having a side demonstrate much quality. IS IRAN GOING TO GET IT'S SECOND EVER WORLD CUP WIN?! YES IT IS!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a quality game - but to say these 2 teams have no quality is not knowing your football well. Iran have 4 good players. Alireza, Azmoun, Samuel Ghobbos and Haji Safi where as Morocco has a whole team of decentish to good individual. Anyways, Machado is just looking for new embarrassing ways to use me in order to amuse others, its getting old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was drab, but Morocco are much better than what they showed. Iran nullified their game with a well read gameplan and Quieroz made good changes to get some attacks going.

They conceded only 5 goals in 17 games during the qualification phase, and didn't lose any game. Poor competition I know but if nothing else, surely defensively they are a solid team.

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ 2,560 Posted June 15, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted June 15, 2018 That was an absolute dire second half. Worst case was probably a tie, not that either team has much of a chance to advance mind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With one point against either Portugal or Spain, I think they should be through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portuguese managers are experts at parking the bus Iran's defensive record is it's biggest strength. But compared to Spain, Portugal, and even Morocco... the overall quality of the opposition is better than Iran. Most of Iran's players play in Iran and the league is just not a great standard.

Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,616 Posted June 15, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted June 15, 2018 Own goals are bad enough but own goals at a WC and when you were so close to getting a point must be horrendous. Tough luck to Morocco there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iran winning gives them a chance but Its a pretty big long shot to get a point from either of those next matches. Not to say it cant, stranger things have happend.

Shame you won't believe me because of your weird dislike towards me. What is this dislike you talk about? It's the second time you say it but I never said I don't like you. Either way, I don't see how that is relevant to the discussion. If you want to make it personal that is your problem. Go look for Teso for that kind of thrash talk, I'm not interested.

I don't think its a long shot to get a draw against Portugal though. They are superior in quality but both are pragmatic as owt. Its a nailed on 0-0 or a very narrow Portugal win.
