Yikes. Japan is slipping. I am sure they are not happy about that.

DAMN, why so early. I enjoy the game much more when its at night like the Qatar game.

Sunset on that day will be at 17:34, 41 minutes before kick-off. Don't worry

به گزارش خبرگزاری فارس،

Iran will play Syria in Malaysia.

تیم های ملی ایران و سوریه از هفته پنجم رقابتهای مقدماتی جام جهانی در تاریخ 25 آبان ماه امسال در کشور مالزی به مصاف هم خواهند رفت

.کنفدراسیون فوتبال آسیا امروز سرانجام تصمیم گرفت تا کشور مالزی میزبان دیدار تیمهای ملی سوریه در مقدماتی جام جهانی 2018 باشد.


این در حالی است که پیش از این و با اعلام فیفا، لبنان و ورزشگاه کمیل شمعون در این کشور به عنوان میزبان دیدار تیم ملی سوریه در رقابتهای مقدماتی جام جهانی 2018 روسیه در منطقه آسیا معرفی شده بود که AFC پس از بررسیهای دقیقتر میزبانی این کشور را رد و مالزی را جایگزین لبنان کرد.با این حساب تمام دیدارهای سوریه در مقدماتی جام جهانی از از جمله دیدار با ایران در این کشور برگزار خواهد شد.

This is great news as TM will fly charter and the Syrians will use cargo class and arrive tired and fatigued! Advantage TM!

That moment when Japan isn't in Asia's top 5, but Saudi Arabia is......

FIFA ranking is BS to be honest....

LOOOOOL and this fifa ranking means, Iran is ahead of the following countries in no particular order:

Sweden, Denmark, Russia, Senegal, Cameroon, Serbia, Greece, etc.

This is a joke!

And why would it be funny or a joke? All those teams you mentioned are by no means superior to Iran. We would give a good match to any of them. Are you just saying it because they are European teams? Except for the 2 African nations, which we never lost to at a WC.

[YeCheesi Tala]

^ also Ibra quit international so that is a big hit to the swedish national team.

[Taz]

What a strange choice of argument if you wanted to demean the FIFA rankings. I can't see a single side in that list that would be heavy favourites against us on a neutral ground. In fact, we'd probably be favourites against the two African sides.

Lol at Wales' position, sure, but gtf with that argument above.

[Sly]

LOL...yeah we gave a good match to Argentina in the WC2016 too! So we could actually be first in the list ahead of the whole world! You guys are too funny!

[Taz]

Team rankings based on actual results of matches played, I know, mad funny lololololololol

Youre kind of contradicting yourself here. Didn't you say that top ipl teams would finish in the mid table in the bundesliga? Then you think it's a joke that Iran is above mighty Greece, Cameroon, and Ibra-less Sweden? I don't mean to be rude but I have to say that your views are kind of weird.

What does a league of a country have anything to do with the best 11 players of that country?! More than half of Iran's starters don't even play in IPL. If you remember that statement you mentioned from me, you should also remember that I said Iran's best players are comparable with Europe's good players while Iran's good players are comparable with Europe's average players! In 10 official games, Sweden's best players would beat our best players more than 5 times, even without Ibra! I don't know how that's contradicting myself. It's actually confirming what I've been saying!

Then that makes it even mor e contradicting. If more than half the starters of TM don't play in ipl and you think that top ipl teams would finish mid table in the bundesliga than that means that players who mostly aren't even good enough to play for TM are good enough to come together and finish mid table in the bundesliga. Surely then the TM starters are mostly better than those players and would do great in the bundesliga by your logic. Yet you also think that's it's a joke for Iran to be above Greece, Denmark, Sweden, Cameroon, etc? I mean just look at those countries. Most of them didn't even make the 2014 World Cup and most won't make the 2018. Maybe some are overall better on paper but it's surely not a joke for TM to be above them in ranking.
