Iran deserved to win that match in 90 minutes, but honestly the real mistake Iran made was losing to qatar which shouldn't have happened not only that it forced us into playing Japan.... Next time hopefully we will have a better coach and probably won't accept the bribes from the QFA

[pongpojvorapongse]

before we(Thailand) play with Japan, I thought that we could have a chance to win you guys since our football team improved a lot, but once we played you (Japan), i realized that we are still far apart and Japan is really the best team in Asia right now. all players are high skills and fair playing. unlike another country in Asia...

Respect Japan from Thailand

[MrAshkanblue]

Iran lost concentration and lost the game to themselves. Just speechless, saddest day in history for Iran's football
