that was typical old Iran. underestimating opponent, then losing focus after a controversial referee decision . I was really expecting Alekno to manage his team better. Iran simply lost the match after that point in the 5th set. he had to call the time out and calmed them down.
Iran was leading first set 19-13 or something like that and it looked like a quick 3-0 win. but then the "other Iran" (the ugly one) took over
this is the 3rd 3-0 defeat in a row. this time against the weakest team of VNL.
