Weakest team of Iran Group in Asian games is Myanmar u23. They will unlikely to get a single point from playing against Iran, n Korea, and Saudi Arabia.
They are currently playing in the Alpine cup with Bahrain u23, Thai U23 and S Korea u19 ( not U23).


Yesterday they lost to S Korea u19 3: 4, tomorrow they play Bahrain U23.

A game versus China is a good choice and test for TM U23 & China U23. China will finalize their list of 20 after games versus Malaysia (Sunday) and Iran ( Thursday).
Their extended squad is their U23 team that includes few who play also for their senior team ( Yiming Liu ,Chao He,Shihao Wei ,Zichang Huang,
Binbin Chen. &Yuning Zhang ) . Huang ( # 25)& Zhang are good forwards. They are coached by Italian Massimiliano Maddaloni.

To me it all looked to be good calls except the very first one. I think the player in white should have been given a yellow card.

I don’t understand something here. If Delfi is a member of this team why not any of of teammates from Chamanian’s team that did very well in the WC? There were a lot good players on that team.

Too young ... many of them are 17 years old ... against 22 year olds, that's a big gap. Delfi is just an extraordinary talent. Allahyar is one too, but he's needed at Esteghlal.

They were all invited and participated in the first two invitation camps but I think Kranjcar decided to go with U20 WC squad. few more of U17 WC will be invited later on for Olympic 2020, They will be a year older and few may have a chance.
Esmaeili, Sharifi, Ghobeishavi, Shariati, Hozzeinzadeh & Allahyar were invited but did not make it.

Hopefully:

Iran's main opponent in Group F is Saudi and both teams will overcome DPR Korea & Myanmar.

If Iran win the group will avoid S Korea in Semi and will face Japan.If Iran is a runnerup they will face strong S Korea in semi.


Japan team is younger than Korean.
