	Ali Karimi: Is he all show and no go? [Archive] - Irankicks Football Talk
		Karimi will be a big asset to Iran in WC2006 if he plays in Bayern's first team this coming season, I can see him shine in the world cup, but he has to work hard in the next 12 months and do what his coach asks him to do.
		Karimi had wasted his footballing career for many years in UAE and I believe that he has now just recognized that when he joined Bayern Munich.
		Karimi did show us brilliance for example in the famous solo run against China in the AC2004 semifinal, but then again he has to learn consistency, doing the right thing at the right moment not just ball hogging, and of course becoming stronger so that opponents harrasments won't bite.

		Ali Karimi has improved so much since he went to bayern, modern football is a 2 touch and then pass game.
		Karimi's prime was Asian cup in China - its all down hill from here on, but since he is with Byren he should extend his career to 3 more years where he can make a difference
