[OFFSIDE_1]

Wow ! This is a shocker. I never thought they would put Iran games in the US, let alone in LA. This really is a 2 home game for us. Wish we could get us a real coach

[OFFSIDE_1]

This is wishful thinking brother, but not with Amir Ghalenoi as the head coach , if he the head coach , it be more like this

Iran 1 New Zealand 1

iran 0 Belgium 2

iran 0 Egypt 1

we not winning a single game with Ghalenoi as the coach ,,,, we be even lucky to get a draw with NZ ,,,

but compared to all the other groups we go a easy draw….compared to the other Asian teams …

well, check the group Qatar plays in.

[AminGP]

If we finish 2nd in the group we are against the runner up of Group D likely Australia or Paraguay. Win that and there’s a real chance we meet Argentina in the Round of 16.

If Iran finishes 3rd then most likely France next round.

[persiangodfather]

We're gonna finish 4th

[a_m]

well, check the group Qatar plays in.

Canada > New Zealand

Switzerland > Egypt

Italy > Belgium

What is the point they got a wayyyy harder groups then us ..

we have a fucken easyyyyyyyy ass group easy man


1st game again New Zealand win that you in the driver set , don’t lose against Belgium, you have 4 points you basically qualified for the 2nd round and don’t lose against Egypt you have 5 points probably finish 2nd place


we got the easiest groups but we have a god dam Maroon as the coach so I mean , even with this easy draw , I can not say how we will do , theoretically on paper it shouldn’t be super hard

but realistically we can lose all 3 or draw 1 and lose 2 …

if you serious think Qatar got a washed group you know nothing about football

these fifa rankings are bogus outside the top 10 teams …

Now that Tyler Adams is finally back USMNT seems to be doing a lot better the last few games. Can't see them losing to Turkey, their players on avg are better. Plus home boost

[Afat11]

I can see us, Egypt and NZ all tying each other since we all have similar deficiencies at the moment. 2 points each and whoever loses to Belgium the least badly or can steal a point will be ahead of the pack.

from our recent form, we can’t score. Our offense has weakened due to age and no gameplan, our defense is shaky. If we go with Ghalenoei as coach, it’s another lost World Cup opportunity for us. If we luck into round of 32, no chance we advance to round of 16. I am 100% in support of bringing a guy like Felix Sanchez who knows Asian football and probably did a lot of research on TM when he was coaching Qatar (overachieving with them I must add). Him, Skocic, anybody with even a semblance of tactic should get us to round of 16 with this bracket. We have the luckiest placement in any World Cup in our history, and of course we will squander it like we always do. Ghalenoei should retire at this point, his tactics are stuck in 2002.

Most analysts or even football enthusiasts on YouTube are already counting Iran out, whereas many Iranian fans consider group G to be an easy path towards advancement. It’s actually somewhere in between as Iranian football today is in a worse shape than it was 3 or 7 years ago, with its superstars’ skills diminishing with age and a coaching team of uncertain calibre. Another overlooked reality is the financial state of Iranian football and the political climate resulting from sanctions impeding its progress towards full preparation. Will the well-organized trading camps and quality friendly games be available to the team? Will the players be in optimal physical and mental condition? So the key to success in the group stage (and beyond) will be whether it prepares adequately. One last point to mention is that Iran often performs best when its back is against the wall. Low expectations have a way of firing the team up and helping it regroup. The players could very well rise to the occasion, just as they’ve done against Argentina, Spain, Portugal and Wales.

[Kavian]

Before Iran's match against Wales in the last World Cup, CQ famously said, "Iran's World Cup has just started." He was fully aware that Iran had little chance against England in its first world cup game, and that any hopes of advancing would depend on the two remaining group-stage matches. However, in 2026, Iran's World Cup will begin—and possibly end—with the opening game against New Zealand. This match is crucial, as it could determine whether the dream of progressing past the group stage will come to fruition in 2026 or be postponed for another four years.

Iran must develop a strong strategy and game plan for their first encounter with the All Whites. The team must capitalize on the overwhelming support from their fans in LA and secure all three points. A victory would not only place Iran in a favorable position on the table from the outset, but also provide the confidence needed to approach their subsequent matches against Belgium and Egypt with greater composure.

While New Zealand is certainly not a pushover, their style of play is comparable to that of Wales, meaning the match is far from impossible for Iran to win.

Amir Ghalenoi, no trick pony

CQ, 1 trick pony

AG
-he has no game plan
-no strategy
- no tactics
-no scouting
- the only thing he had was respect, but now he doesn’t even have respect
- old mind , lack of any flexibility,

CQ
- was disciplined
-had 1 tactical strategy only
- held players accountable
- strong defense
-scouted players
-no offensive plan at all
-had players respect
-old mind , lack of flexibility and able to change tactical if necessary

yes, CQ is a better Coach then AG, but he has no offensive strategy at all. He does not promote offensive players and he’s not willing to risk playing offensive football, in important games.


The best that can be achieved with a coach like Amir Ghalenoi, is qualifying for the World Cup, but we could never win an actual game or go to the second round with him as the coach. Not possible


With Carlos Q, you can go a little further you can qualify for the World Cup and you can get about 3 to 4 points in the group, he can win one game for sure , but you can never have enough to go to the second round

that is where both these coaches are very limited, they both have an outdated way of thinking about the game that involves tactics that are very easily scouted, CQ obviously is much better than AG but he is limited cause his tactics are outdated.


If we are going to actually achieve anything, we do need to make some changes whether it’s with the coaching staff or the players that are involved in this team to actually have a chance to win go to the second round maybe even the round of 16 it’s possible because we don’t have a very difficult group round and second round and maybe even third round.

[persiangodfather]

it doesnt really matter the coach, we have not introduced a new exciting prospect to this team since 2018 lol

[/QUOTE

Goon Dallal GN and his band of thieves aka coaching staff couldn't even put 5 past Afghanistan and were scored on by them and other weak teams--but we will put 5 past New Zealand..hahaha the delusion of some people. We will lose to belgium big, lose to egypt and maybe tie New Zealand..if this staff stays and the choice of their team stays.
