Everybody starts to praise the 'parking bus' strategy. We saw what Iran did today that made many people think that they are unlucky and played Top Class. I think it will be a new trend in football.

Unlucky Iran, should have a penalty, but Messi, stunning goal.

Well, despite the loss to great Argentina, our team played very well and had great chances.Most people don't know the restrictions and lack of resources Iranian team has.Our f'ed up government and football federation cannot even arrange friendlies against good teams.Overall, I think this was a great perfromane

The only thing "class" about argentina is messi. the way iran played yesterday, they would be a better team than messi-less argentina.

Why is it everytime a team plays on the counter and defends well, people moan about parking the bus? Considering the amount of offensive talent that Argentina posses, surely it would be completely ridiculous for a team like Iran to go with a full on attack strategy? Just a lame excuse to hide the fact that Argentina played terribly in both their games in my opinion

Iran is a disgrace of football, a bus full with diver. Please go home faster, ppl dont even wanna watch their last match!

Haha wait what, coming from a Mourinho/Chelsea fan?

Mojo 12 years ago

Talking of disgrace...how about when your team parked the bus in champions league 2011-12 to win it all. I remember seeing the whole team defending with a formation of 10-0-0-1 against Barcelona..I think Iran played incredibly well given their players limited exposure to international football, to play a clean organized game against the likes of messi, aguero, di maria calls for great respect for them.

I can't deny how good Iranians played. Great team.

THAT MESSI RUN NEEDED A DEFLECTION TO MAKE IT EXCEPTIONAL!! But regardless he got his stunning Goal at the end!!

What Messi run needed a deflection?That goal at the end was priceless and perfectly aimed, not deflected in.

Luis G 12 years ago

@DardoJS89 Watch the game before commenting dude! Messi had a great run early in the 2nd half which was inch close to hitting the cross bar.

Luis G 12 years ago

ARGENTINA DEFINITELY NEEDS Plan C.... EVEN D!! 4-3-3 doesn't seem to work!!

Iran just parked the buss and everyone praises them :/

Logic 12 years ago

Do you have any idea how difficult it is to park the bus? The amount of tactical discipline required? The fitness levels required to press/chase the ball while keeping your shape for 90min? When your team is full of lesser- (if at all) known players up against a world-class attack? Some news for you: if you want results you've got to defend soundly as well.
