World Cup 2026 Group G [IRAN]

I had the HIGHTEST hopes going in to the last WC with near home field advantage. And look what happened. I have the LOWEST hopes this time around and you watch, we will have our best showing. I think it might be best if we all lose hope. Lets try that this year after how many decades??! Lets go with no hope. Marg bar hope...

I am not saying we should lose hope, I say we need to be realistic with ourselves and consider the team and players we have. We will have the OLDEST team in the WC at this point and probably one of the weakest coaching staff. This is not a good combination.

I'm WITH you! Not being sarcastic at all. I just think we got the worst team in a long time and I have no hope. And every 4 years when I have hope, it gets shattered. Maybe this year is different. Not...

Our celebrated team of '98 with all its superstars was an absolutely awful team. The mistakes that our defense and midfield made in some games were just painful to watch. We had some players that looked like they were amateurs...like Ostad asadi! On occasion even Khakpour would lose concentration and make comical errors. Our coach was different every week. Defensively we were a complete mess.

Our current team is made of professionals. The standards have improved a lot and many of the players have experience playing outside Iran too.
