No I haven't! That btw is called a stupid answer to an even more stupid question.
Why the f.. would he leave his line? Dude do you even play or have you ever played football in a real team and a standard match? Or are your comments purely based on the couple of pickup games you've played with "gol koochick" and watching some games on TV?
If the ball coming in to his penalty box was high enough that he could assume some percentage of success beating the striker in the air with his hand then he should've come out. If the ball was on the ground and the striker had clearly beaten then defense then he should've come out to close the angle or block the ball on the ground or risk even a penalty by bringing down the striker. But with the angle and the height that the ball was coming in and with at least 3 Iranian defenders covering the 3 Uzbek players, coming out of his line would've been the worst possible play because a small hit on the ball could've easily chipped it in to the goal.
You want to talk about his character or professionalism or lack of it that's one thing but lets leave technical abilities out of this especially when the videos are available for all to see.
Thank god the videos are there for everyone to see and review (in case they didn't see it or forgot about it). One can only imagine what some people would makeup and say if these weren't available!
I reluctantly saw this video again just to see what you guys are talking about , it sure is Rahmati's indecision and his standing position that allowed this goal .
You can see by the way the player who is taking the kick is standing behind the ball how he is going to play it , he is not going to take a shot at the goal and he is clearly going to swing it in so rahmat should be standing a couple of feet in front of the goal line to give himself a chance to go and intercept the ball before someone else if need be ...
Ok , so the defenders ,specially the one who failed to jump as the ball went over his head were at fault too , but a smart keeper should not allow a ball like that reach a opponent on his six yard line , he has to be in a position to give himself a maximum chance of reaching the ball , if he is on goal line it is that much harder to get out on to your six yard line quick enough and that is why he conceded goals like this one , in one or two others he came out and was too late and found himself in no man's land .
Problem with him is he has too much ego and would not listen to team melli coach who used to be a keeper himself ! he was going to be benched and he got the hump and left to be begged to come back , well it didn't happen with this coach who worked with Man utd players and Portugal and Real Madrid , he could not intimidate CQ like he had done in Iran football with locals .
Personally I am glad to see the back of him who turned his back to his team melli at a critical time.
