I expected a lot more from both teams. I knew Iran would park the bus, but better than this. Morocco on the other hand was shockingly garbage. They've played much better than this and it wasn't like Iran was pressing them enough to disrupt their game.
Iran played well in defense (as always). Midfield and attack were a big fat zero.
You know when saman won that free kick in the 95th minute I said about time we get a bit of luck for the first time in 5 world cups and then bang! 😍
I'm not taking any credits though...

I had that Messi goal in my mind and thought about time we get a bit of luck …...I think everyone of 80 million of us had some sort of wish for that ball to end up in the net ,Andranik Eskandaryan is probably the happiest one of us !
Thought Ebrahimi did a decent job filling in for Ezzatollahi. It was mostly Shojaei and Jahanbakhsh who repeatedly gave the ball away very easily. This rendered Azmoun and Ansarifard completely useless. No ball was reaching them.
That no 18 was very dangerous but our lads stood up to them like a rock , I said a few months ago that with the level of teams in the world cup we must make sure we take our chances well .
Sardar and Karim both had golden opportunity to score ,Reza Gucci would have scored both those chances.
Fishing in muddy waters?! I didn't see them getting emotional at all. If anything, they could've used some hot-heads to give them some urgency. They were uninspiring and lacked creativity.

Sure (yes am very pleased and impressed by Ebrahimi actually) but if Ezatollahi was there, I think the lineup and the tactics would have differed too. Shojaei may not have been there then.
