It was not the fact that TM is almost out and needs a miracle to advance.. The sad things are:
1- This is the best we have. We saw it in 5 previous games.. and we saw it on club level. Currenlty this is the level of Iranian football.
2- The fact that in a football crazy nation like Iran, the best strikers it can present is a useless Hashemian and a cholombeh Khalili !
3- The fact that whether the coach is a gentelman like Ghotbi, an arrogant Daie, or even son of a VIC Branko, no one seems to be man enough to take risks and use some young talents and bench the big names when they are not performing.
4- That only in Iran, you score a few goals and you are guaranteed a spot in the NT for 8 years to come!
I am personally not excited about TM anymore.. even if they qualify to the WC, we should not expect any better performance than 2006. It is not about the coach, it is the whole system of Iranian football which was already bad, and during Ahmadi Nejad it became worse.
See you all in 2014. Maybe by then we will discover some new talents that will revolutionize iranian football like 1996
