Bro you are the man
A gift; thanks.
Another great podcast guys! 👏🏼❤️
Steven needs to join you guys more often. His knowledge especially concerning the defense is great. Thank you all.
Saman was the best player on that game
Very good podcast guys, I had a lot of fun watching it
BEITA!! What a legend. Grew up watching him on Team Melli and during his long stint in San Jose. Thank you for your service 🫡
I would really like to see Gholizadeh start in this game
A great footballer, a true patriot, and an awesome guy. Thank you GOL BEZAN for bringing Steven on. Viva Iran minus puppet mullahs and their backward cult (Adventures of the desert 3)
iran is not a defensively solid team anymore, i thought that's obvious, with the new manager putting his focus into offense, team melli has shifted its priorities back to pre quiroz era standards, preferring to win 4-2 instead of 2-0 during quiroz's time. naturally we will be vulnerable in defense.
The fact we don't play quality teams worries me. When we play the top Asian countries we may be in trouble defending attacks. Those teams not only have quality but speed as well. I'm a little worried defensively. We don't necessarily have the youngest team in transition. But hoping for the best
Good episode. I think the game against UAE will be very telling.
Great content, as always. Appreciate the analysis!
