very good points saeed!
the facts speak louder than words ... the current TM is an average asian team, if iran's TM cannot dicatate the game to its asian opponents in Tehran (in front 100k people), it's a serious sign of a weak team...
basically this team is spineless, lacks real characters ...we, as fans, should be realistic & realise that we lack talent at the moment... the team that was out there yesterday was tired, unfit & out of ideas ... we cannot blame daie (completely) for this shameful defeat, he simply does not have the likes of "bagheri, karimi, aziz, kia" at their peak in iran at the moment
the current team lacks fitness, talent - thats obvious but we even lack height & strong physique in places where it matters, i.e., centre forward, central midfied defence !!! the saudis won the physical game (and they had height),dominated us at corners & free kick...look we are talking about the saudi team & not a physically strong african/european team !
i still think if the players were physically stronger & fitter, they'd have done a lot better ... certainly better than n korea & saudi
