I Had a little nap this afternoon and had a dream that Kiarash did not make a match thread and we went on to loose the match, I woke up and saw Ehsans match preview thread and had to pinch myself... Thankfully Kiarash is here

Lol

South Korea's defense is a mess. I can't believe they let Qatar score 2 goals at HOME.

I mean I'm not boasting about Team Melli's offensive tactics, but damn do I have every right to grill a top Asian side like Korea.

Come on Korea! Chop chop!

Let's keep that goal shut! Let's go, one more lap around Seoul!





Iran = #1 Defense Asia

Thanks for the thread Kiarash, well done as always!

As someone who has grown up with Koreans in a very highly populated Korean area, I get more pleasure beating them than I do Arabs. This rivalry is a legit rivalry - strictly about football, which is why I love it (unlike when we play Arab teams it gets all about politics and history).

Every match we have had against them is always a thriller, so as always this is a promising game from both fans stand points, we haven't lost to them in so long and we know they are hungry for a win. We need to be strong as a team like we were today and play with s sense of urgency....while we may be ranked #1 in the continent we always have a chip on our shoulder to prove it and a win will reassure everyone why we are #1

This Korean team is terrible Almost all of our defenders are playing in China now. They are out of shape and couldn't defend a weak Qatar team. We also lack any creative players so it's always the same tactics. You guys will win this guaranteed.

I hope to see Ashkan on Tuesday.

I agree with you, nevertheless we are both the greatest powers in Asia and this will be a spectacle and clash of the titans. Let's enjoy it.

Not necessarily. We still have problems finishing (not surprising). With your weak defense and our offense, this game has 0-0 written all over it. We're both group leaders at the moment, and both teams might be satisfied with counter attack football (which will most likely result in a 0-0 or 1-0).

But then there's the history and rivalry between Team Melli and the Red Devils. You guys will have extra motivation to beat us after losing three in a row. Korean players dislike Carlos because of the "fist of glory". Our fans still haven't forgotten Choi's choice of words. This is a completely new team South Korea will be facing.

This match is going to be exciting to watch!

Good luck! It's nice to have foreign members in PFDC
