I can't express how happy I am with Iran, CQ and our boys - yes we don't have a major superstar, otherwise that last second effort would have been a goal, yes Taremi should have scored but wow is all I can say, once again I say this being a player who has played at their level and view the games from a professional players perspective, this Iran team is quite possibly one of the most if not the most organized and strategic team in the world - I can tell you guys this, DO EXPECT Iran to hit even the quarter finals of the next WC, as long as we can KEEP CQ and continue this development - the ONLY thing I disagree with is Gucci not playing, I would have brought him into the game at the 75th minute and perhaps Dejagah as well, I would have brought both of them in, other than that everything was perfect - we were very unlucky here to not knock Portugal out and I can tell you that the entire world respects us beyond what you think, I spoke to my friends tonight, some who play for Ittihad, Toronto FC, Besiktas and Olympiacos and everyone has said the same thing, "Iran is one of the best in class at the moment", we won the respect of the world, solidified ourselves as the best team to ever come out of Asia and essentially created the platform for the future. Going forward you can rest assured you will see a lot more Iran apparel, a lot more proud persians, and a lot more respect for Iranian football. Thank you CQ, thank you boys, how I wish I had not selected Canada, was 12 years younger and could have played for this team myself, had the opportunity years ago and squandered it because politics but I will forever live through these players!
