MYM played better an created several good chances.
Iran played with 3 MD players, that is a very defensive strategy.


For those who think Iran should try to be 2nd rank perhaps they forget Saudi Arabia has no shame and will lose and even as a third team will advance.

[Malkay]

i agree. there is no pride in intentionally losing football matches. hopefully Vietnam or Bangladesh will punish them.

As for us, it looks inevitable that we'll play South Korea. I hope the boys are up to the test like Malaysia were.

Iran can actually eliminate the Saudis if they let in 2 more goals.

[shahname]

It is very easy to see that Iran not only has no intentions to win this match, they clearly like to lose it.

[SkyeKingu]

Myanmar continues play despite an Iranian player clearly on the ground and the entire iranian team asking them to kick it out...They score a second goal as result...

[St_Mark]

I lost all respect for Kranjcar He is no good..

I think Martin meant "are Saudi's third". Which, as things stand, yes. they're third

1 IRA 4pts +1 goals
2 KOR 4pts +0 goals
3 KSA 4pts +0 goals (scored less goals / head to head loss to KOR

whatever happens, 3 teams will qualify from this group.

it seems to be ending on a quite embarrassing note though.

[Martin-Reza]

Myanmar still could go through too...will be interesting final minutes.

[Malkay]

here's an interesting one though... what the hell happens if we concede another and both matches finish 0-3

everyone has 4pts, +0 goal difference, N Korea and Myanmar have scored more goals... head to head results are all over the place
