I have great respect for this player. He has shown some unbeleivable talent in his career. At times, I thought he would really be the next Iranian Ronaldinho..However, in this WC he has practically been invisible :-(

Why is wrong with him? is that he is too nervous to handle all the hype concerning him in the media??? or is it that he is just a wash-out who has let everyone down.

I have seen some videos with him doing some amazing things on the pitch. I beleive he is clearly talented. Perhaps, he is lacking confidence. Who knows..all I know is he is not the same player compared to all the videos I've seen of him..

Whatever it is, I am really dissappointed with his performance in the WC.

And, I am not even Iranian..

Your thoughts.

Peace!
 
He's coming off a long-term injury and should've never played in those matches he did take part in as he clearly wasn't ready. Still wasn't fit.. and lacked agility/sharpness and so wasn't able to show his talent.

Shojaei should've replaced him and played instead of him but he didn't because the coach is an idiot and has made 1000 mistakes which is why Iran had such a disappointing world cup and everybody wants to kill this guy! Mobali, who was perfect replacement for Karimi wasn't even called up to squad because Mr. Ali the 37 year old Pedestrian Daei doesn't want him in there after he made a tackle on him which he didn't like a little while ago! :roll:

To read more about just how this dumbass coach has screwed 70 million people with retarded tactics, bad lineup choices and HORRIBLE subsitutions! (Things that would make one who knows all these players think, he was trying to lose ON PURPOSE!) read my thread.

Regarding Karimi though, you got your answer. Not even Ronaldinho or anybody in world will play well when not fit and injured just like when somebody is tired and gassed out.. no longer matters how much talent or ability they have.. if ur tired or injured u just simply cant perform!.. thats why they shouldn't be played but our stupid coach didn't realize that and made him play where he lost confidence due to bad performances and also wasted opportunities of other 'fit players' we had available who could have done a job. Plus he was one of the many in 'backstage' fight with Ali Daei and so mentally and physically wasn't ready for such big occassion.

Yep, was looking forward to seeing Karimi, but the injury in the Bundesliga put paid to showing his true ability.
