[ehsan singapore]

the less arab the better, but honestly i am not scared who we get, we are the top rank asian side for a while, we have beaten everyteam, and not to any since 2013 when uzbekistan beat us in tehran, i am sure all teams prefer aus over us

[teammelli91]

I want Saudi Arabia.

[shahabGAOL]

YES WE ARE THERE!!!!!!!! RUSSIA THE PERSIANS ARE COMING!!
I hope we will be in a easy group by 12 april!

1. IRAN
2. S. Korea
3. Uzbekistan
4. UAE
5. Iraq
6. Syria

Iran and South Korea will be in the World Cup 2018 I feel it, if this would be our group!
Syria and Iraq has no team, there country is almost destroyed by war. specially Syria, there is no any football. UAE over China, I think UAE will be more easy for us. but I think we would not have any problems of defeating China.

anyone know when the draw for the next round is?

The third round draw will be held at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Kuala Lumpur on April 12, where the 12 teams are divided in to two groups of six. The six teams in each group will play each other on home and away basis where the top two sides from each group will book their place at the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals.

The two third-placed teams will then face each other over two legs, with the winner taking on the side that finishes fourth in the fifth round of the CONCACAF qualifiers in a two-legged inter-confederation playoff.

the more Arab teams in our group, the better.

less arab the better, qatar get on my nerves alot, but i dont mind kicking saudi ass hard

[saeed_noro]

Too many arab teams. Replace UAE and Syria with Thailand and China then it will be perfect.

etevaghan khubeh, arabaro bendazim juno ham dige, and short journeys for iran, we make sure we always play "late" or "later" as Japan, when Japan has their home game. we know the results before, can be a big advantage for us. also japan big journeys always to west asia. iraq can give saudi a big match, and also UAE AND Qatar are equal and so i predict some draws. Also Syria will fight Saudis because of politics, and probably syria and iraq stay in Iran for the matches...

So it looks like the teams are:
Iran, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Qatar, Uzbekistan ; Syria, China, UAE, Iraq

Edit: Fuck, I really wanted Iran to play against 'Arry's Jordan side

Iran possible 3rd round draws for WCQ 2018

Haha, North Korea concede 2 late goals vs. Philippines and are out, cheque from UAE & Saudi arrived in time...

[MR.S]

is it only me that wants saudi arabia in our group, they so weak that even a natural field and afc can't help them this time. Watch and see how they will get trashed by Asian minnows and finish in the bottom of the table.

[saeed_noro]

qatar che zuri dare mizane ke emarat biad bala, ajaaab...

actually china qatar is a good game right now, you can feel how the chinese must win and do everything and qatar also do everything for UAE to advance before kick off and saudi to win later for pot 1.....they want to combine their chances to land in ONE GROUP (Saudi Pot 1, UAE Pot 3, Qatar Pot 4 = possible) to make sure that one or more of them qualify for world cup. gawbandi at the final stage vs. australia or korea
