Hi, everyone. I don't usually write a lot here since I'm only 15. I usually just respond but I really wanted to get some things off my chest.
It was a Chaos yesterday on these forums. All kinds of names, accusations and NEGATIVE threads were all over the place. People were blaming Daei, Branco, Poor Zandi (I LOVE THIS GUY, gotta respect. Many Iranian born people probably wouldn't have done this), and Team Melli in General.
You guys have to remember the pressure on these players, the atmosphere of the whole stadium. What I am about to say here may sound a liittle too kind but again the topic of this thread is thinking positive. Branco did things professional, Team Melli didn't play emotional. Team was not in sync but our Football, our TM, our players have Matured now into modern football.
The sad thing is that WE (we being the Iranian Public) made this a sure 5-0 nothing win in our minds. We didn't turn into the game hoping for a goal, we turned on the TV saying "I wonder what the minutes of our five goals are gonna be? "
When you set your standards too high, this is what you get. Branco knew that if we didn't play a professional, non-emotional and rather defensive game WE could've lost this game. Bahrain is not a weak team. WIND of Football and Science spent a 75 minute program analyzing Bahrain, I made Highlights of all of Bahrain's games from the Persian Gulf Cup immediatly after the tournament so Analyzers could see that they are in fact a very good team (Just Ask Kaveh Jan).
Bahrain played with more determination, organization and teamwork than us yesterday so they were the better team. That is a fact but that's no reason to go cursing our whole team melli and saying that we won't qualify. This was a game that we should've lost with how good Bahrain was playing and we tied it, we should be happy.
Yes there is a lot of problems that need to be fixed, we don't wanna play versus Japan in such form but there is no reason for all these Negative vibes coming from the threads.
Branco didn't wanna any risks, all he cared about was coming out of this game as safe as possible. If we attacked I can promise you our defense was not a defense to stop the amazing counter-attacks of Bahrain.
I think it's time we stopped pointing fingers at a certain player and making polls about "How Much You think "player's name" sucked on a scale of 1-10" or making personal insullts to the person.
I think it's time that Iranians in General don't bash a person that they know is going to make their country proud (Karimi, Mahdavikia, Daei, Branco, Zandi). When you post a thread bashing these players think about the time you'll be replying in threads praising them after they've had a good game.
I think it's time we Stand behind our Team Melli specially since when they didn't really mess up bad really.
Branco didn't care about the press and does everything professional and that's why I love him.
Also, I hope this taught all of you who called Bahrain Monkies and Dirty Arabs a lesson. Don't insult your opponents because they're not going to care, show it on the field. If you guys had spent a little more time STUDYING this so called Enemy instead of insulting it would've been better. So stop the immaturaty and get real cause this is MODERN FOOTBALL.
All the players had a bad day , all the teams have bad days even Chelsea, Juventus and my beloved Roma. Daei, Karimi, Mahdavikia were all part of this team having a bad day so don't blame them personally.
In the End we Must Stand United Against every Iran faces, and Cheer them on. FULL STADIUM IN AZADI VERSUS JAPAN IS A MUST. The stadium must be so loud that the Japanese players can't hear intructions from Zico (ehehehehhe). So Let's Cheer Iran to WC 2006 and for god's sake, Be more Faithful everyone.
DOOO DOO DOO, IRAN!!
