Iran are good. Strong physically, hard in the press, well organised and technically proficient. We are performing so much better than vs the Kangaroos. This is a good test.
He sure is. He will make some mistakes, but the talent is clearly there to be the fulcrum of our midfield for this next cycle. I am not sold with LJS. Drifts in too much and goes into ninja mode. Disappears.
decent 1st half. midfield needs to be better in defense though.... especially Hwang IB for me. he looks lost a bit, as the two way midfield player (a role much better suited for Paik SH imo.. if Korea can find a good ball winning DM as partner). in defense, too often.. Iran bypassed him easily (well, Hwang IB and Lee JS tbf) as they aren't very compact
Goal Iran. Bad marking from a corner and CHW looking uncharacteristically uncertain. EDIT: actually it was just unlucky, own goal.
Glad we're playing better than against the Aussies. This is a bit more promising. Our players need to bulk up a little more, we look so flimsy when push comes to shove.
