that the pitch and ball were just aweful. Even the English commentators on Toofan's clip said it a few times...it was just an impossible pitch to play on and the Bahrainis had the advantage because it reduced our ability to play a technical game. So I expect that Japan will have the same problem in Bahrain if they use the same ball and pitch.
I think after some re-grouping... we should be able to tear bahrain apart at Azadi. I think Zandi will be ok in that position, but hashemian definately will have to pushed up along side Daei or without Daei. I also think the 4 defender concept is better...we arent as stretched as before. So the conclusion is that either Daei or Hashemian will have to start up-front...we just cant play hashemian as left-attack...thats better position for nikbakht.
