Afghanistan Football Thread

lebanon scores. Jamali is trash

 

Hashemi is big time at fault there!!!

There was no need to slide!!! He allowed the Lebanese player to easily side step him

 

intezar is an idiot

 

who got sent off?

 

Intezar

 

Not easy to stop maatouk

 

Game over 2-0. Not the end of the world at all, id say there were allot of positives to take from the first half. Will improve once we have real full backs return. The likes of Norlla, Sharif, and Kanishka returning will help too.

Congrats Lebanon.

 

Afghanistan 0-2 Lebanon.

2 mistakes, 2 goals. simple.

This is the difference between playing a competitive professional team (Lebanon) vs playing a mediocre amateur team (Sri Lanka)

The team requires more experience and need to be able to start building up the play and holding the ball, they either held it too long, and went the long ball to no one.

Players who should be dropped
-Jamali (did not hold his position, passing was rarely accurate)
- Hashemi (you cannot do silly mistakes like sliding for no reason, the difference of playing in APL vs international matches)
- Dastgir (Passing was rarely accurate, passed to no one late in the game in crucial attacking plays)

Only 3 players looked threatening, and showed they are a class above the rest of the team
- Popalzay
- Shirdel
- Amani

 

The second half was very disappointing. I can live with losing a close game, but not even threatening the goal in the second half is unacceptable.

 

the Afghan team forgot how to attack, how to pass, how to move, how to shoot. All simple physics of football.
Dastgir, Hashemi, Jamali should be dropped from the starting lineup.

Of the new players that were called up,
I thought Intezar was ok, and should be kept in the squad,
Zadran up front didnt do much damage at all, he should be dropped as I feel we do have enough attacking talent
Saber Azizi I thought had good touches when he came on, he should be kept.

On the domestic front - Hakimi (I think) who came on for Popalzay, I thought did some great work, given he is from the APL, he did impress me.

A few thoughts after I had time to process the match:

- Segrt needs to settle on a consistent back 4 and stick with it. No one is benefiting from the constant reshuffling of the defense.
- Subbing out Amani for Akbari killed whatever goal-scoring threat we had. Why take out a striker when you are down a goal? Segrt's substitutions were bizarre.
- The team showed some flashes that it can vastly improve its passing game. Maybe it is just a confidence issue? The over-reliance on long balls needs to stop.
- Rumours circulating that the domestic players were chosen by Kargar. If true, it points to a troubling trend where Kargar is constantly getting involved with the national team. Segrt must have 100% control over all personnel decisions.

 

I was impressed in the first half by how organized we were without the ball (other than 2 brainfarts). However on the ball we were garbage, constantly playing a pointless long ball when it would be much easier to keep possession with a simple pass or bring the ball forward. However I think this will improve once the likes of Norlla, Shayesteh, and even Zazai are back in the starting XI.

Hashimi and Saighani showed they are both prone to make a mistake at any time, but that attempt of at a slide tackle was horrible by Hashimi. I hope that he can find an actually find a real club so he could weave these mistakes out.

The biggest misses were Amin and Hadid, both going forward and in defense. Both link up play with the wingers is superb and they far more solid defensively than Jamali. I would play Intezar as a right back until Hadid returns.

All in all this team can be much better and it will once all the missing players return.

 

I agree with all your points but regarding the first, thats not Segrt's fault as Amin and Hadid were not available.

 

Next call ups for Malaysia should be:

GK
Ovays Azizi
Hamidullah Wakily
Aimal Gariwal

DF
Hassan Amin
Masih Saighani
Roholla Iqbalzadeh
Hassan Rahmani
Milad Intezar
Amed Arezou
Mohammad Hashemi
Anoush Dastgir

MF
Sharif Mukhammad
Abassin Alikhil
Faysal Shayesteh
Mustafa Zazai
Omid Popalzay
Saber Azizi
Kanischka Taher
Ahmad Hatifie

AT
Khaibar Amani
Jusef Shirdel
Zubayr Amiri
Mustafa Jafari
Norlla Amiri

Adding Mustafa Jafari who scored 12 goals in 21 games is a really great addition to the team. He is only 20 years old. Also Mukhammad should be called back. Rahmani and Arezou also should be great additions to the squad. And just always call up the same GK and Defenders so they can adjust to each other.

Moshtagh Yaghoubi played against Nadiem Amiri. Finland u21 vs Germany u21. Germany won 1-0. Amiri came in as a subtitute. Yaghoubi played the whole game. This was a qualification game for the European under 21 tournament.

What is the deal with Norilla Amiri? Not only has he been playing in a lower league but his production has plummeted and he is not even in the starting XI anymore.

 

His team was promoted last season and hes now playing in the Swedish 2nd tier. Though his lack of goals/assists is worrying. Though I think he should still be starting for the national team as he isnt a player who just looks to play a long ball immediately but is actually comfortable with the ball.

 

N Amiri is actually doing good in his career, he is playing in the Sweden 2nd Division and his team are in the top half, if they are able to notch back to back wins they will be in line for promotion to the Swedish Premier division!

His form has been on and off but he is still a important player in the team for both club and country

 

Poor finishing from Toofan cost them a shot at the semifinals. Then again if you can only win 2-0 versus Abasin Sape,, maybe you don't deserve to be in the semifinals.

 

Wow Shaheen 8-1 Simorgh. Crazy

 

Terrible day for the goalkeeper. 3 saves out of 11 shots is bad even for APL standards.

 

The horrible defense infront of him didnt do him any favors either. Spinghar Bazan and Oqaban are both stronger than this Simorgh team.

 

Some great goals by De Maiwand Atalan and Mawjhai Amu today

With a last min goal Mawjhai is still very much in it. Which provinces belong to Mawjhai again?
