1) the ref is an idiot and deserves to be punished by FIFA (but i mean, reffing is a controversy at this world cup like brazil-croatia, mexico-cameroon, bosnia-nigeria, and costa rica-italy........and there's nothing you can do about it but wish for robot refs)
2) argentina outplayed us statistically to where they should've won 7-1, but none of their shots had a chance at going in until messi scored in the 91'
3) we outplayed argentina tactically and mentally until about minute 87' |

Some Argentine analyst's tweet completely agrees with what I just said.
They dominated only statistically but never tactically or mentally. |

wow one guy who was frustrated i'm so convinced
"They dominated only statistically but never tactically or mentally."
if they had nearly 80-20 possession, then yes, they were dominating you tactically. the only tactic iran had was to park the bus and send someone on a weak counter-attack whenever they cleared the ball |

"if they had nearly 80-20 possession, then yes, they were dominating you tactically." Possession was 70-30 you nut. That's a clear-cut difference than 80-20. http://www.espnfc.us/gamecast/383277/gamecast.html
"the only tactic iran had was to park the bus and send someone on a weak counter-attack whenever they cleared the ball" A tactic that almost got Iran a tie with a world soccer powerhouse that's ranked 6th(?) in the FIFA rankings and high on other rankings such as Elo, ESPN SPI, etc? Alright lol |

If Iran knew they had no chance at winning and planned on fighting the clock for the entire game and hoping for a tie, then they outperformed Argentina tactically. Otherwise, Argentina outplayed Iran.

how about you try reading for once. possession was 80-20 for the majority of the game, and only started switching towards the end of the game
"A tactic that almost got Iran a tie with a world soccer powerhouse that's ranked 6th(?) in the FIFA rankings and high on other rankings such as Elo, ESPN SPI, etc? Alright lol"
you play to win games, not to tie them. iran failed tactically.
what if argentina scored at least four goals like they should have? what would you say then? that it was still a tactical victory?
"If Iran knew they had no chance at winning and planned on fighting the clock for the entire game and hoping for a tie, then they outperformed Argentina tactically. Otherwise, Argentina outplayed Iran."
we clearly see who watches soccer every four years
a tie is a tactical failure. iran had some decent chances on the counter attack, and could've scored a goal had they not been so concerned about parking the bus. |

Argentina dominated, but Iran should've came out with the win. Iran had two good chances to score in the last 10-12 minutes - a header just over the bar & a nice counter attack. |

"how about you try reading for once. possession was 80-20 for the majority of the game, and only started switching towards the end of the game" All you said was "nearly". You didn't say for "nearly the entire game". Genius. Yeah I'm the one that needs to try reading. The final possession was 70-30. That's all that matters, because soccer is a game played for 90+ minutes, and not just 80-something. Messi scored a goal beyond 90 minutes and that put the exclamation point on the game.
"you play to win games, not to tie them. iran failed tactically." Tying Argentina would be like a win for Iran, I don't care what you say When Ventura County Fusion tied the Canadian national team, I took it as a Canada loss.
"what if argentina scored at least four goals like they should have? what would you say then? that it was still a tactical victory?" No. THAT would be a tactical failure.
"a tie is a tactical failure." I consider ties against elite teams as wins and, in fact, near-upsets. I never consider any tie a tactical failure unless you're the favorite. If you're the underdog heavily and you manage a tie, you tactically succeeded.
"iran had some decent chances on the counter attack, and could've scored a goal had they not been so concerned about parking the bus." This is your only point I agree with. |

you cried after the spurs lost once lol

wow only 70-30? that means iran is not a team that should've been blown out
"Tying Argentina would be like a win for Iran, I don't care what you say"
did iran win the game? did they get three points? well then no, it's not a win
"When Ventura County Fusion tied the Canadian national team, I took it as a Canada loss."
hmmmm a training game that i could only find a 3 minute youtube clip of and no other official record. i'm placing all my money that canada sent their best squad and not a bunch of youngsters that need training
VCF doesn't even have the game on their own official youtube lol
"No. THAT would be a tactical failure."
1-0 is still a tactical failure
"I consider ties against elite teams as wins"
you did not get three points. you did not win the game
"and, in fact, near-upsets."
this is even stupider. you had a chance to beat argentina for a little bit, but argentina still won. still a victory for the backwards country
"I never consider any tie a tactical failure unless you're the favorite."
well then you know nothing about soccer
"If you're the underdog heavily and you manage a tie, you tactically succeeded."
but you didn't tie. you lost the game.
"This is your only point I agree with."
yeah because you're biased |

"you cried after the spurs lost once lol" Nah, not cried, I was just furious with my face popping red. It wasn't THAT devastating, nor was this game. I was just angry, ready to punch people all night long.
"wow only 70-30? that means iran is not a team that should've been blown out" Iran should've lost 5-2 with that possession statistic. I consider 5+ goals blowouts, but you may not
"did iran win the game? did they get three points? well then no, it's not a win" Lol you're so literal
"hmmmm a training game that i could only find a 3 minute youtube clip of and no other official record. i'm placing all my money that canada sent their best squad and not a bunch of youngsters that need training" That's still pretty embarassing that a 4th division American soccer club with baaaaaaaaad sub-par players tied a national team
"1-0 is still a tactical failure" Not really under the circumstances of yesterday's match
"well then you know nothing about soccer" Suit yourself sports genius if that opinion makes you feel happy Fact my ass lol
"but you didn't tie. you lost the game." In stoppage minutes with 0 minutes of normal gameplay to go
"yeah because you're biased" Shouldn't anyone favor their favorite teams...? Oh wait, you have none lol |

"It was difficult to break down their defence and find space," Messi said. "It's tough to play against teams that close up like they did.

you were crying lol

they should've lost 5-0. iran wouldn't have scored
"I consider 5+ goals blowouts, but you may not"
ok
"Lol you're so literal" why wouldn't i be?
"oh no my team only lost 3-0. it's actually a win"
maybe if we were talking about friendlies you would have a point, but we are talking about the world cup aka the most important thing in soccer
"That's still pretty embarassing that a 4th division American soccer club with baaaaaaaaad sub-par players tied a national team"
tied a national team's reserves youth team
"Not really under the circumstances of yesterday's match"
which circumstances? the "it's the world cup and we better win the game to get out of the group" circumstances?
"Suit yourself sports genius if that opinion makes you feel happy"
glad to know that this is your preferred method of being ignorant
"Fact my ass lol" you have no ass
"In stoppage minutes with 0 minutes of normal gameplay to go"
cool. did you lose? yes
"Shouldn't anyone favor their favorite teams...?"
you shouldn't be a biased moron about it
"Oh wait, you have none lol"
where do you get this from? just because i don't think all the crappy teams i support will win everything doesn't mean i don't have favourite teams
