[Pluto2000]

Poor South Korea has to travel to all Arab countries for every away games in 12 hour+ flights lol

What a dream and easy group again. Thx god we avoided group B hahaahha

[Artaxerxes]

How the hell do Australia, Japan, Saudi always end up together? Lowkey group C was nightmare for us with Saudi and Bahrain. But my god Qatar and Uzbekistan again? So boring lol but I guess with ghalenoi I take it

So damn boring indeee but I take it before group c and the arab cluster in group b

[Artaxerxes]

Seriously if we dont end up top 2 in this group fire GN on the spot

[Essi]

Challenging group. Seems that we are always stuck with Uzbek and Qatar in qualifiers. Same goes for Japan and Australia.

[Ostad_Goosfand]

I wanted Australia but honestly group C was nightmare. Saudi always beat Aussie at home, and we would drop points to Bahrain. Probably finish third or second in that group.

[Ostad_Goosfand]

We can get revenge on Qatar I guess . Let’s hope we smash them both times and Uzbekistan finally doesn’t choke and qualifies for a World Cup

[Team Melli Fan]

Same boring groups as always
Iran vs. Australia would've been nice to see for a change
At least we didn't get the Arab sausage fest of Group B

Agreed, our group is on paper the "easiest "

It’s probably the easiest group we’ve ever had. No Japan, no Korea, no Saudi, no Australia, no Iraq. North Korea will take points of Uzbekistan and Qatar. We will win this group pretty easily

Arab fest wouldn’t be the worst just cause they take points off each other like 1-1 or 0-0 draws as we saw in 2022 qualifying. That’s why Korea and Iran so far ahead . But yeah I didn’t wanna face Iraq or Jordan

Winner: GN. He gets to cruise to the WC without a serious challenge. I do foresee one loss to either Qatar or UAE though and a draw with one of the weaker teams.

Loser: Iranian football fans who have to watch Iran play the same fucking teams over and over and over again.

[Hosseini]

Maybe the worst possible draw for us fans wanting something exciting. Playing Uzbekistan for the 10th time in 2 years is going to make me bash my head in the wall

This is even easier than Skocic era because at least we had Iraq and SK. Once again we will cruise to the WC with no serious challenge, so nothing will improve. Then at the WC we will get grouped because we faced teams like NK while Japan had the pleasure of playing Saudi and Australia 2x each
