He's not a starter so it's not that great unfortunately

[M.U.F.C]

What a shame for IFF and TM
They travel all the way to South Africa so they can train in peace without one single friendly vs a nation
Instead they have to play the B squad players of a local club team !!,!!! Wow
I am starting to realize that with all the Sarbazi issues of the players CQ needs and lack of friendlies ,there maybe a conspiracy going on for TM not to succeed in AC
You mean to tell me that IFF dint have $50k to pay Kenya and Zimbabwe for a couple of friendies????
I am not buying it
Because of that I predict a second place finish in our group then we will have to face Japan in the quarter finals then it will be a quick exit out of the tournment
I sure hope that I am wrong

I predicted group stage exit from long time ago. There was no reason to pay that amount of money when the budget of the federation is low according to many football experts in Iran.

Let them do it. They will be forced to show video of our team, when TM lifts the trophy.

Look at their recent results, they can't beat Qatar and UAE. If they did, they wouldn't be ranked as bad. It's deserved unfortunately for them.

Looking forward to the clash against Australia on Australia Day..it would be even worse for the Australians to lose that one

[sarbaz]

Common guys Australia is a lot better than their current 100 th ranking.

Australia dropped significantly after the world cup, i dont blame them they were in a tough group, but they dropped alot, defenitely dont deserve to be 10th in asia thats just dissing.

[Superparsi]

We will beat this team, mark my words! 100th ranking for sure does not justify them, but we are a better team all around! The only worrisome reality is that they are the host and have a nation behind them, so if get to play them in semis, it will be a juicy exciting match to watch!
