I just don't get what you guys want or expect.... It kind of boggles my mind a bit, there's no realistic approach to what you are all expecting from TM in the context of Islamic Republic.
RE: "What you are saying doesn't support data" I appreciate that my comments are more based on observation and instinct rather than empirical data. Can I ask whether you've watched the full 90 minutes of all the iran games over the last 16 matches and what your thoughts are about Iran's defensive and midfield shape, especially against the Arab teams let alone Korea - compared to previous years... I'm just being honest based on what I have observed - I know that Iran hasn't lost 6-0 in recent decades, and I could be wrong, but watching the team performance (outside the moments of magic from Taremi or Azmoun) againts these opponents, there's a start for everything.
