Tarami burned history again!

Jam Jam online – We remember the tears of Mehdi Tarimi after the match against Portugal, that critical and vital match in which Iran tied 1-1 with Karim Ansari Fard’s penalty. Taremi missed a golden opportunity and 100% goal in that very sensitive match, so that after the game he cried as if he was mourning. But Mehdi Tarimi repeated history again. In other words, it burned history! This time, in the 2026 World Cup, he denied the historic opportunity to advance.
All this glitter, but what’s the point?
What is the point of scoring so many goals and giving assists, but then you blow everything away?! This is a complete description of Mehdi Tarimi. The vital penalty that he missed against Egypt could be expensive for Iranian football.
Sometimes a scene, a hit and a decision can change the entire narrative of a game or even a tournament. It is precisely at this point that Taremi’s name has come under the microscope again in the recent match between Iran and Egypt.
Iran had some shows during the game and took control of the match in some minutes, but in the end it was the details that determined the result and one of the most important details was the missed penalty.
Of course, Tarami’s overall role in the match cannot be ignored. In several scenes, he was able to create positions with his football intelligence, participate in team pressing and play an active role in designing attacks. But the main thing was the penalty. Whether Iran ascends or not, no one will forget the opportunity of burning Tarami.
Tarami and history of ruining golden situations
This is not the first time that such discussions are raised about Mehdi Tarimi. In the 2018 World Cup in Russia, in the crucial match against Portugal, he failed to take advantage of a golden opportunity in one of the best possible situations, an opportunity that, if converted into a goal, could have changed the history of Iranian football and paved the way for the national team to rise. At that time, they talked about “neglect in big moments” and now with the repetition of such a scene, this discussion has been revived.
Can a player still consider himself the undisputed star of the national team despite such decisive moments he missed? Taremi is undoubtedly one of the most high-quality strikers of his generation in Iranian football, and his statistics and club performance at the European level show that he is a professional and effective player. However, he is one of the worst misses in the history of Iranian football.
Critical moments, big decisions
A perfect soccer player must make the best soccer decisions in the most difficult and sensitive moments. This is one of the most obvious features of modern football. Decision making in critical moments involves many things. Deciding to clear the ball in front of the goal or deciding for a player to score a goal in front of the opponent’s goal or to give an assist.
The fate of Iranian football was sometimes tied to Mehdi Tarimi and his shaky decisions in the worst circumstances. Maybe if another player had been in that golden position instead of Taremi in that meeting with Portugal, and maybe another player had scored the penalty kick in the meeting with Egypt, the fate of Iranian football in both World Cups would have continued in a much sweeter way. But alas, Tarami ruined everything. He could be the man of our difficult moments.
