  1. In theory, I should feel sympathy towards Iran, because against all odds, they stick to playing football, and I have to admit, they give their all. Regretfully, I can’t feel any sympathy, not because of their football (you can’t scold a turtle for being unable to fly), but because of their… disappointing (to put it super mildly) mentality. The non-stop time wasting, acting, overall sneaky and anti-fair-play tricks to slow the game down as much as possible, is just… (I avoid writing the words I have in mind, because then my comment would be – rightly – deleted).

    What’s even sadder, is that unfortunately I notice a pattern; recently I watched their U14 team win the CAFA (Central Asia) Championship, in Dushanbe. The U14 girls did exactly the same thing, in all three of their matches. Now I know whom they “copied”… So, if the next generation is following the same anti-fair-play antics of the current generation, I’ll simply skip watching their games, saving me from more than 100 minutes of frustration. Sorry Iran, but your games are unwatchable, I repeat, not because of your football (their U14 team were more than decent, they actually won the tournament in Tajikistan), but because of your attitude/mentality.

    By the way, if this is the best keeper they have, then the U14 GK I saw in Dushanbe (who couldn’t possibly be U14, but that’s a totally different story…), will be the new keeper of the first national team in no more than three years from today, if she continues playing football, working hard and improving.

    As for Australia, watching this game, I ended up appreciating even more Japan’s 7-0 against India yesterday, another game I attended (in Tashkent). Same thing, 1-0 at halftime, against a team defending with… 12, but despite the double-deck bus parked in front of India’s goal, and even more, despite a very-VERY poor pitch at Lokomotiv’s otherwise cute stadium, the Japanese girls offered a second half of pure spectacle. I would expect the Aussies to do the same, but… at the end of the day, they won, so I guess that’s what matters the most at this stage.
