Case 5 - (not likely) South Korea get defeated by both

SArabia and Iran and NKorea beats SArabia.Assume Iran beat UAE the results will be:

SKorea 14 points

NKorea 14 Points

SArabia 13 Points

Iran 13 Points ---- Iran is out

Hey Guys

Calm down, before hoping that much let us await the result of the next match; maybe - without appearing pessimistic - the whole shit is dead and buried yet on Wednesday :(

Case 3: Let us hope for it!

 Thanks Analyzer, the Case 3 that you have calculated looks tantalizing:

 "Case 3- SArabia ties with both SKorea and NKorea,then SArabia will have 10+1+1=12 points and NKorea will have 11+1=12 points.

..........Iran must beat both UAE and SKorea to get 13 point for second place (automatic qualification). Tie with SKorea in this case mean 11 points and Iran is out. "

Arezou bar javanan Eib nist. Hope that happens!

Mehman jan,

thanks for the post and the copmliment!!!!!
I really think something good going to happen. I also think South Korea for the fact that they have already been qualified and not too crazy about North side may not play hard and may let most of her reserve players to play and gain some experience. That is when Iran should take advantage and win the game for good. South Korea without Park is not that strong. Park may only play a little because he has big contract with Man United and doesn't want to take the risk of getting injured

Kaleh joon Souri,

The next game is with UAE in Tehran at 7:30 AM Pacific or 10:30 AM Eastern time on Wednesday June 10. The last game is with South Korea and that I believe is at 4:30 AM Pacific or 7:30 Eastern on Wedneday June 17. Both game will be shown live on Fox Soccer Channel. If you have comcast cable that would be Channel 401.

Let's say in summary:

Case 1- SArabia tie with SKorea but beat NKorea, then SArabia will have 10+1+3= 14 points and NKorea will have 11+0= 11 points.

........Iran must beat UAE and tie with SKorea to get 7+3+1=11 Iran will be 3rd place. Even if Iran beat SKorea will only end up with 13 points still will be 3rd.

Case 2- SArabia get defeated by SKorea and beat NKorea, then SArabia will have 10+0+3=13. As you see it does not matter if Iran has 13 point as in case 1.

Case 3- SArabia ties with both SKorea and NKorea,then SArabia will have 10+1+1=12 points and NKorea will have 11+1=12 points.

..........Iran must beat both UAE and SKorea to get 13 point for second place (automatic qualification). Tie with SKorea in this case mean 11 points and Iran is out.

Case 4- SArabia looses to both NKorea and SKorea, then SArabia will have 10 points, NKorea will have 14 points.

.........Iran must still beat UAE and at least tie with SKorea to get 11 points for 3rd place. Even if Iran beat SKorea in this case will not get the 2nd place.

Conclusion: The best case for Iran is Case 3.

Correct me if I am wrong!!!!

GO Iran - - We need Nekunam back and Karimi and Shojaiee must work much harder. Karimi is not the same karimi of few years ago.

تحلیل مختصر

خوب بازی تمام شد اما تحلیلی از بازی ضرر ندارد:

1- اولین ایراد من به آقای قطبی استفاده نکردن از خلعتبری از اول بازی یا حداقل از اول نیمه دوم است. خلعتبری پدیدهء فوتبال ایران و بهترین هافبک کنونی است که می توانست با بازیسازی و پاسهای عمقی و دریبل های خود دفاع کره را متزلزل کند که از او استفاده بهینه نشد.

2- علی کریمی یکی از بدترین روزهای خود را می گذراند و با بازی کند و ضعیف خود و پاسهای غلط (به جز یک مورد) همه را غافلگیر کرد!

3- نصرتی در دفاع چپ خیلی ضعیف عمل کرد و کره از همین جناح چندین حمله کرد. در زمان دایی زارع جایگزین نصرتی شده بود که قطبی دوباره نصرتی را برگرداند و از همان جناح نزدیک بود چند گل بخوریم

4- مسعود شجاعی به علت بازی در اسپانیا و خستگی سفر ضعیف تر از حد انتظار ظاهر شد. قطبی می توانست او را زودتر با معدنچی تعویض کند. معدنچی با ورود به زمین با خلعتبری جان تازه ای به تیم دادند ولی وقت کافی نبود.

5- مهدوی کیا هم متاسفانه روز کند و بدی را پشت سر گذاشت اما کعبی بد نبود به شرطی که سریعتر پاس بدهد.

6- دفاع ایران در نیمه اول خوب بود اما در نیمه دوم چند سوتی وحشتناک داد که اگر رحمتی نبود گل خورده بودیم.

7- جواد نکونام به علت خطا ی قبلی محروم بود و آندو بجای او خوب ظاهر نشد.

8- از زندی خبری نشد!

9- گلرکره شمالی هم خیلی خوب ظاهر شد و چند شانس مسلم را از ما گرفت (کره خر)!

10- مشکل اساسی بازی تیم ایران به نظرمن خط هافبک است. فاصله بین هافبکها و خط حمله و سرعت و دقت و بازیسازی هافبکها کلید حل مشکلات است. امیدوارم در 2 بازی بعد و در بازیهای پلی آف قطبی از خلعتبری و زندی و معدنچی و مسلما نکونام استفادهء بهینه کند.

yes, you are right

I think I gave the most accurate sport analysis on this game :

wasn't worth getting up 4 in the morning. :( 

What time  is the next game on Wednsday?

No more early morning kaleh pacheh, I hope?  .... lol

majid, mehman, souri

i agree with majid's choice for the player of the game: rahmati. he was amazing, he saved at least 5 well-placed balls by the koreans. iran ghessel dar raft.

i agree with mehman that iran had a good first half and a bad second half.  the koreans had much better chances in their second half with their counter-attacks. otherwise, the koreans were playing a defensive game.

i agree with souri that it wasn't worth getting up 4 in the morning. :(

i agree with all those who said the chinese referee did not make fair calls when iranian players were fouled.

Great job man!

Thanks Anylyzer!

Your brain is for sure working hard! good calculations...

The worst thing that can happen to Iran

is that SArabia tie with NKorea in the last game. If that happen Iran must beat both UAE and SKorea. SArabia must beat NKorea and Iran must beat UAE and at least tie with SKorea. That is it!!!!!

OK !!! It is not over yet,

As i stated in my last post now that Iran tied with NKorea she must beat UAE at home and tie with SKorea and of course SARABIA must beat NKorea at home. If this happen Iran and NKorea will both have 11 points and Iran will be 3rd since they beat NKorea at home. Please consider that SKorea has already qualified and do not like NKorea and they might take it easy with Iran so that NKorea don't make it.

No problem, glad you liked

No problem, glad you liked the blog!

The Chinese referee I should say was a bit siding for them, but on the overall there is no justification for our weak play in the second half.

Dear "Mehman",

Also many thanks for your efforts to keep up the football section.

نیمه اول خوب نیمه دوم بد

نیمهء اول ایران خیلی بهتر بازی کرد و حداقل دو شانس مسلم گل داشتیم و توپ و میدان در اختیار ایران بود.

ولی در نیمه دوم بد بازی کردیم و قصر در رفتیم و اگر رحمتی ندرخشیده بود گل می خوردیم.

بازی آشفته ای در نیمه دوم کردیم.  خلعتبری و معدنچی که آمدند تیم بهتر شد.

الان فقط باید تلاش کنیم تا سوم بشیم و برای پلی آف بریم .

با تشکر از همه دوستان عزیز

... بازی کرهٔ شمالی در مقابل برزیل ببینیم

Where in this sentence did you read, Korea would beat Brasil next year? Besides, our team is very weak, good guys, but fighting and running hearts out is not enough.

And yeah, we know, it's always other persons' faults, referee's, stadium's, opponents', weather's, ball's, TV's, spectators' ... Typically Iranian habit, not the best precondition to improve. Pitty.

Base dige baba

Ajab bazi booda.

We obviously missed so many chances and our team seem to have gone into the game hoping to come out with a tie! they appeared so relaxed at times.

I hope that some people do stop their  "joosh zani" and not give korea more credit than they deserve (such as We will see them beating brazil next year) and denigrate our team, more than they should be.

The referee sucked indeed. We lost so many free kicks( taken away from us) and many chances to turn the game over. in fact the moment i found out that the referee was a chinese, i knew something was gonna go wrong.

یادش بخیر قدیما

 مربی ها اونوقتا همیشه به بر و بچه ها میگفتن........« اگه توپ ازتون رد شد بازیکن نباید رد شه!»  یعنی به هر قیمتی شده باید جلو شو بگیرین! فوتباله، پینگ پنگ که نیست!

ما رفتیم بخوابیم آقا.......شب خوش، صبح بخیر.......تا بازی بعدی که چهارشنبه صبح باشه........

The Red Devils

Our only hope (chance for 2nd spot),,,
10-06-09 in Seoul...

Majid, did you see?

The Korean? they were playing the victims all the time!! I was disgusted. Every two minutes, there was one Korean crying on the ground ...!

Ah, che nazok narenji !!

shab(ya sobh) hamgei khosh

........

ایران بهتر بازی کرد (حفظ توپ و باز کردن جبهه های مختلف) ولی زیاد شانس گل نداشت، کره شمالی هم که خاک بر سرش با اون ارتش سرخ آوردنش ! غیر از ٦-٥ دقیقه اول نیمهء دوّم  بقیهء بازی پُخی نبود! ما راحت میتونستیم بازی رو ببریم.

ستاره های بازی بنظر من هر دو تا دروازه بان ها بودن.

Good game!

It was a good game overall. Much better than the one with Saoudi Arabia........But not worth getting up at 4am :))

There's still hope for Iran. All is not lost yet.

Rahamati : wonderful player!!

Those Were the Days

For the best moment, go to 03:32 :)

Star of the game

Rahmati all the way!

Merde!

0-0.

بازی مساوی تمام شد

نتیجهء خوبی نبود ولی از باخت بهتر است!

برای بازی پلی آف هنوز شانس داریم.

بهترین پیشبینی ازآن سوری خانم که نزدیکترین بود!

گند زدن

ساله دیگه میتونیم بازی کرهٔ شمالی در مقابل برزیل ببینیم

این چی‌؟

لامسبا دارن فقط دیگه گند میزنن - بارک الله و آفرین به رحمتی

‌؟‌؟‌؟
