What were they supposed to do?? let him stay alone?? And generally, the team that takes the corner has less players in the box than the team defending the corner, so it's obvious that they mark the tall guy/forward with 2 defenders. They would have done the same with Enayati.
Cross on daei?? Kia was busy helping out in defense because Perez was running riot against Kaebi. Teymourian gave a perfect cross on daei, but unfortunately he only managed to jump 5 cms.
Seriously...to defend or whitewash in any shape or form Daei's performance today is ridiculous.

Read my ratings again, what whitewashing, i have Daei as the second worst player on the field. What about Hashemian attempting a stupid back flick in a scoring position. Has anyone commented on that. DAEI IS NOT GOOD CURRENTLY. GRANTED. Can we move beyond that and criticize other players when they desrve it ?
Watch the replay. he was marked and any other shot would have been blocked by either defender or goalkeeper. With the back heel, he would have surprised the defender and the goalkeeper, he was a bit let's say unlucky. But this is irrelevant...Let's say he should have scored norman. when you have to run a lot, you might become tired and lose your focus a bit. that was the case with hash, because the guy was running endlessly and had to do the running for Daei too. A striker has to be fresh and focused to do his thing.
But this is exactly what I mean...Daei was the worst outfield player and to bash guys like Kia, karimi, or hash for anything, despite their endless running efforts and talk about the Mexican defenders marking Daei because they have heard stories about Daei scoring against Chelsea and Milan is nothing but whitewashing and putting Daei's pathetic performance in relative terms.

Westie you are spot on.
Marquez became a free player it was so funny.
I give Daei a 0. I give Branko a 4 only cause first half I give him 8 and 2nd i give him 0 for doing a Sven against Brazil.
Very disappointing...
Ando I give him a 7-8. Javada 6.5 and Mehdi I give about 6.5 as well, Kaabi a 6 and the rest too disappointing.

I agree with most of it however Rezaie deserves to rank higher he set up the first goal and through out the game he was solid. As for his mistake, I don't see any of our defenders playing with confidence in fron of Mirzapour. At this level a goalie should inject confidence in the back line not the opposite.
This is another attempt by Daei lovers to white wash his performance.
Daei = 0 (dead weight dragging down the team for the last 6 years)
Mirzapour = 2 (why is he so timid? why doesn't he come out? why does he run away from Golmohammadi or Rezaei's simple passes back to him? To give him credit, having seen Gholampour, he might be the best Iran can offer in that position)
Rest of the team = 9 (for hustling and trying to make up for the 2 above)

Mirzapour, 5.5 - had an OK game, but that stupid kick brought the rating down.
Kaebi, 7 - thought he played a good game
Golmohammadi, 6.5 - average game, the goal brought it up by 0.5
Rezaei, 6 - had a good game and deserved a 7, but in the end a 6 due to his mistake which led to the 2-1
Nosrati, 5.5 - the left side was open too much in the 2nd half
Teymourian, 7.5 - aggressive, fought for the team, knew how to control the tempo
Nekounam, 7 - also good in midfield, good tackles
Mahdavikia, 5.5 - way below his level..was it the injury?
Karimi, 7 - wasn't given much space for his actions but did well
Hashemian, 6.5 - worked hard, missed 2 open chances though in the 1st half
Daei, 10 - amazing, our most creative player, great heading, worked amazingly hard, both in attack and defence..was unlucky not to score
Kaebi, 7 - thought he played a good game

Agree 100% on Karimi, our team fell apart after he left the field, not because Madanchi was terrible, but because Karimi was a force.
On Mirza, you guys are being emotional. You are not giving him the grade he deserves (1 in my opininon) because you probably are too kind. I hate to be unkind to people, and I do like him a lot as a person and a player who has given his best for his country. However, we lost the game due to his blunder, and that my friends is not a simple "miss hit" which you can attribute to a mistake that happens to every one here and there. Mirza had this weakness of clearing the ball with his feet forever, and even the ABC commentator pointed it out earlier in the game. What worse than that? As a goalee, you live and die by your saves, everything else you do is non-event, but for us the non-events got us! Mirza should not be our goalee.
But ever worse than him was our coach, the one I had supported all along. Branko got a 0, he destroyed our team with whatever he had told them during the half. I would love for someone to post a video of Branko's half time instructions to the players, and I bet he totally took the air out of our wings after an outstanding performance during the first half. We dominated the 1st half and Branko negated that during the halftime.

Actually, there was. Once Karimi was out of the game, Marquez was able to roam around our penalty box all the time. Mexican offence was intensified, and resulted in two goals.
I think most guys are rating Kabi and Nekounam a little too high. I don't see much from Nekounam. Also Vahid has one of his bad days. Regardless of whether he plays his position or not, when he receives a few good chances ithin the penalty box and wastes them, it shows he is not as lethal as he used to be.
On the other hand I would not rate Nosrati too bad. He tried hard and did not make any blunder.
Here is my rating:
Mirzapour: 4 (two big mistakes)
Kabi: 4.5 (Kept sending the ball back to Mirzapour)
Yahya: 5.5 (Mostly for his goal)
Rezaei: 6.5 (I'd have given him a 7.5 if not for that single mistake)
Nosrati: 5
Kia: 5 (bad shots, crosses not as usual)
Karimi: 5 (was marked all the time, but did draw defenders around)
Teymourian: 7 (The kid was great!)
Nekounam: 4 (did he play? I somehow didn't see him at all)
Madanchi: 4.5 (one half, nothing much)
Vahid: 5.5 (Ran a lot, but that's not what I want a forward to do)
Daei: 2.5 (A solid tower of strength. Literally
)
