Afghanistan Football Thread

6:30 pm Kabul time. This is the kick off time for the friendly with Kyrgyzstan.

 

hey guys we've reached our highest place in the fifa rankings before we were already at our peak 127th now we are 122nd!!!!!!!!

 

So close to the top 100!!!!

 

@Footballnameh Since Milad Salem and Mustafa Amini wont be joining us in the challenge do you know if Moshtagh Yaghoubi and Sharif Mukhammad will join too and if Shabir Isoufi will be invited?

 

I am afraid there is no good news on these players, sadly.

 

Guys I don't think moshtagh yaghoubi will join us because every time Finland u21 have a friendly he gets called up,let's just hope that sharif mukhammed join us and aff had invited shabir isoufi to the camp in Qatar but none of them came I hope they do cause the challenge cup is not saff and we are in the hardest group against the likes of Turkmenistan and the Philipines...

 

Man that sucks was really hoping we would get allot of great players for the challenge cup.

If we win the challenge cup then i think they will join hopefully.

 

I cant find which team Hamid Sadid plays f0r but looking at highlights on youtube heseems to be a pretty good player.

Afghanistan 0-0 Kyrgystan.

Overall decent match, Kyrgystan did not create many chances.. Afghanistan missed a PK and missed 3 clear cut chances. Good hit out..

Faysal Shayesteh had a good game on the left flank.

 

In my opinion that was the worst game we played in years

 

What I learned in the friendly vs Kyrgyzstan:
-Belal Arezou and Ahmadi need to be dropped.
They have been underperforming for the past year and they keep getting worse and worse.
-Hatifie and Mashriqi can not play together.
I remember back in 2011 when Yamrali and Mashriqi were playing with each other they were great. and in 2013 when Hatifie and Habib played together they were great I hope we can get Habib or Yamrali back or atleast start a APL player like Rafi Barakzai or Sayed Maqsood Hashimi who played played great in the APL.
-Dawodi and Sadid were good while Shayesteh was decent at best.

 

Shayesteh played very good. First half made alot of runs down the line and is a good dribbler. Missing the PK put him off.
Mashriqi is too slow, touch is not there, we need a midfielder who can control the midfield. I am hoping Sharif Mukhamad (from Anzhi) will fill the void.
Dawoodi and Sadid did not have much game time to show themselves but from the few glimpses, showed good promise.

Up front Belal and Sandjar were poor, however, the midfield was not getting many chances created for them too. Milad Salem would of been a good addition but he doesnt want to play. It will be interesting to see if there will be any changes to the team against Tajikistan.

One thing Kargar did not do was change the team and give all players a run... Its a friendly and would of been good to give more game time to all players.

 

Guys I thought Shayesteh was a central midfielder. I think Mashriqi has to be dropped we need mukhammad or isoufi because Yaghoubi I don't think he will come to us. Overall our defence was pretty good, I hope the new coach will do something and if AFF is not good at organizing friendlies then they can play against domestic teams (Toofan Harrirod,Shaheen Asmayee etc..) The Philippines are well prepared I think they will beat us...

 

Phillipines are a very strong team, stronger than Turkmenistan.

A Domestic based Filo team easily beat Nepal 3-0.... now imagine if all there european stars come..

 

And that's the reason why Kargar and Rutemoller have to do their best to get the best players and organize more friendlies.
