[perspolis#1]

37 days until the event.

How many days before the event are they required to submit the squad?

This is hongkong first ac appearance since 1968.

tajikestan making ac debut.

Iran and s.k share the most appearances.

Ksa made the finals of asian cup 5 times in the row and 6 out of 7....THAT IS IMPRESSIVE.

37 days until the event.

How many days before the event are they required to submit the squad?

Approximate date is around 4th of jan....

With 23 players only it will be very difficult time for general.....

truly back to pre 2012 era, only thing left is dropping back to FIFA rank 30s or 40s

with Branko I think we got to top 15 or 16 in fifa rankings. Meaningless but true.

23 Man AC roster I'd take:

Defenders:
GK: Beiro, Niazmand, Hosseini
RB: Ramin, Moharrami
LB: HJ, and the best performing LB in PGPL (anyone but Milmo please)
CB: pesar tala googool magooly Kanaani, Hazbavi, Majid, and Shoja

Midfield:
CM: Ezatolahi, Ghoddos, Amiri, Hosseinejad, Karimi (He's not bad, he just isn't used properly by GN. He is decent as a EZA sub, not playing next to him).
Wingers: Torabi, ARJ, Gholizadeh, Mohebi

Attackers:
CF: Taremi, Azmoun, Ansarifard



AFTER AC:
Force into TM retirement: Hossein Hosseini, Shoja, Amiri, Ansarifard, Ramin (unless his form stays as good...he will be 36 next WC) and HJ (maybe after he gets his most capped title, he's earned it at this point imo)

Players I'd like to see introduced after AC (unlikely): Rostami, Khodabandelou, Yousefi, Razza, Andarz, Shakouri (yes they are good enough that we can afford to give them time against shitty teams like cambodia and develop them). ESPECIALLY RAZZA, he will be 18 soon and for a player of his size to have such intelligence and speed, he's like a raw Vahid Amiri but 4 inches taller, Obviously much more raw but...its a good idea.

Alipour for sure no....he hasn't played professional game in over 350 days and has barely come back. Out of all of those I'd for Amiri, Hosseinejad, Noor maybe (he's alright against bad teams like HK who we can play instead of ghoddos so he doesn't get injured)

[diz]

with Branko I think we got to top 15 or 16 in fifa rankings. Meaningless but true.

And we crashed and burned in WC06 with some of our best talent possible.

We need to stay away from that snake with every ounce of self-respect we have.

Very Possible noor is not invited.

FOR ME IF NORAFKAN IS HEALTHY which he is
Noorafkan is must.
he can play lb,dmf,lmf...

Bronko like skocic good club coach and mediocre
nt hc....

Let's see how far he takes Oman
He is not our fathers bronko
He has learned to become an a hole which hwm being so nice in 06 was top reason for failure.overall not bronko fan specially his 4-4-2 looozi system

This generation we got forced into 4-4-2 since Taremi and Azmoun up front was all we had. I hope I'm alive one day when we can do a proper 4-3-3 and control midfield. Maybe not this generation but hopefully in next 10 years (wishful thinking prob hah). I hope we can get a coach as talented as Morocco's new coach that took them far in WC. He is very passionate, loves playing similar Diego Simeone style defense and controlling wings
