Iran vs Egypt warm up talk

[Doctor DOOM]

Or do we still have a chance?

If Uzbekistan holds Congo, yes
Or if Austria beats algeria.
we'll advance at the expense of korea as the last 3rd placed team

[Keano]

Number 2 was filling the offside, however the commentators were saying apparently 2 players must fill the offside which is real bizarre to me

[allan123]

Iran need for advance:

Ghana Win against Croatia

or

Uzbekistan win or draw against Congo

Or

austria win against Argelia

Or

Argelia win against Austria

[Raptor]

That was NOT offside.
There was another egyptian player near the 2nd post that played shoja in.

But the VAR replay totally removed that player !!!!

But this is what we take when we are the hated nation in the world with no friends. Fifa once again showed politics is intertwined with football. In most dirty corrupt way possible,

Yes, but the goalkeeper was further up from the goal than Khalilzadeh. You need to have two players ahead of you to be onside, Most people don't know the goalkeeper is usually counted as well in most other instances where there is an offside.

[persiangodfather]

Most likely Iran is thorough, however still depends on the upcoming match results

Not most likely there are many scenarios we dont make it

[persianballer]

Was it offside or not?

[Dubxl152]

What a game. Im at the stadium lost my voice and had my heart broken. We had many chances that didn't go, they never showed var on the big screen.

The Key Matchup will be Austria vs Algeria.

This Game "just" needs to have a Winner and were through.

Forget about Ghana's Carloz Parking the Bus beating Croatia and even more Uzbeks getting even a draw from Congo.

According to Gemini (take it with a grain of salt)

The Final Scenarios Iran Needs (Pick Just One)
To officially cross the line, Iran needs just one of the following scenarios to happen in the final group stage matches on Saturday: [1, 2]

Scenario 1: Group J (Algeria drops points)

• Current Status: Algeria has 3 points and a -2 goal difference before playing Austria.
• What Iran Needs: An Austria win or a draw. If Austria wins or ties, Algeria will either stay on 3 points with a worse goal difference or drop lower, keeping them safely behind Iran. [1, 2, 3]

Scenario 2: Group K (DR Congo fails to win big)

• Current Status: DR Congo has 1 point (-1 GD) and plays Uzbekistan.
• What Iran Needs: Uzbekistan to win or draw. If DR Congo does win, Iran is still safe unless DR Congo wins by enough goals to leapfrog Iran's even (0) goal difference. [1, 2]

Scenario 3: Group L (Croatia loses or Panama stays down)

• Current Status: Croatia has 3 points and a -1 goal difference before playing Panama.
• What Iran Needs: A Panama win or a draw. If Panama pulls off an upset or holds Croatia to a tie, Croatia finishes with a maximum of 4 points but leaves the 3rd-place team of Group L trapped below Iran's 0 goal difference. [1, 2, 3]

Because Iran has an even (0) goal difference and scored 3 goals, they hold the tiebreaker advantage over almost every remaining bubble team. It would take a highly improbable combination of massive blowouts in all three remaining groups to knock Team Melli out

Iran need for advance:

Ghana Win against Croatia

or

Uzbekistan win or draw against Congo

Or

austria win against Argelia

Or

Argelia win against Austria

Conflicting scenarios

[persiangodfather]

Why wouldn't Austria and Algeria jist play for a draw. Croatia is gonna beat Ghana and probably Congo beats Uzbekistan. Were fucked

[Raptor]

The way Australia - Paraguay went for an obvious draw yesterday, it's hard to see Austria and Algeria not settling for the same. Just as when they expanded the Euros from 16 to 24 teams, teams minimize risk taking in the final round and only prioritize qualifying for the next round.

As for Ghana beating Croatia, hard to see that happen. They barely beat Panama. Maybe they could manage a draw, but that won't help TM.

Uzbekistan has been terrible so far, they have a poor defense and lack experience, but maybe this is something we could hope for.

[Karimi_1]

Iran advances if ONE of these happens:

1. Austria beats Algeria. They will probably settle for a draw both of them
2. DR Congo does not beat Uzbekistan. Afraid Congo will win pretty easily
3. Ghana beats Croatia. Will CQ finally get us to the next round?
   
   I think we are pretty fucked but lets see....

[Keano]

Freaking FIFA did not show Iran's fans until they found a pro-IR fans with the IR's flag and then kept showing that couple. How pathetic!

[a_m]

Can someone explain if this was offside or not ,,,,

the far player was keeping him on thought from what it looked
