Is match is NOT EASY!!!
now the pressure will be on IRAN, and we all know, when we get the DAMN pressure on us. GOD SAVE IRAN.
the last match against MONTENEGRO we dont has any PRESUSRE on us, but know it will be clear
I hope Ayatollah CQ has a good tactic against this UZBAK. AND i hope people come and FILL theSTADIUM with 130 000 like the last time against CHINA. BUT IF Ayatolah CQ say on national tv: people listen to him, the will come, BECAUSE they love him like their mothers and fathers.

ALLAH AKBAR, khoda komak mikhaym va rozo , roze CQ kon!

The game will be shown on ESPN3:

yes, the 19-0 win against Guam in 2000 was played in Tabriz ;)

I feel a sweet win coming. Azadi will be packed for this final push. We got a great result against a much stronger team just now. Cannot wait for this one.

There are no easy matches at this level.

Uzbekistan is very much alive and they can turn the whole table upside down with a win. They did exactly that the last time.
having said that, I feel that short of a meltdown by our players, our team is good enough to handle Uzbekistan and get the win.

CQ will set his team up with the same plan as the game against China. Carlos has a long list of players (specially in the midfield and attack) that know exactly what their coach wants of them. they will execute the plan as they have before. the only thing that I have a little concern with is that our boys have not fallen behind in any of the previous games and hope that they keep the streak, but IF the Uzbeks were to score first, how would our boys react? will they remain clam and patient and stay within the game that their coach planned out for them? having Carlos on the bench is a huge difference maker precisely because of situations like that. Carlos knows his players and I am pretty sure that his players know him too.

I think our boys are anxious to celebrate this thing at home on June/12th and I think they will.

The game is being played at 9.15pm Tehran time. Is it because of Ramadan or has to sync with the times of the other matches? Nevertheless it is good as it allows everyone to turn up when it is that late. Hopefully the stadium will be packed.

Our key is the coach CQ. he can deliever the result to us.i believe in him and the players believe in him.we can win
