Iran's most probable path to advance

[persiangodfather]

The VAR makes it merely impossible for FIFA to fix the game for Portugal to win. If it is clear and obvious on national TV, the refs cannot screw us over. Both games they have been fair, no matter what anybody says. Put this FIFA corruption negativity out of your minds and pray for the boys to write history. We have the team, the courage and strategy to create this upset. Portugal = Ronaldo..... nothing terrifying. IF we can almost beat Spain who is full of superstars, I am sure that CQ has a special plan to knock out Portugal for the last match. The man is a genius and an outstanding coach

They will choose when to use var and when not to

Well khoda kode that does not happen

Don't underrate Portugal. They played like that too in the Euro and became the Champions. Their manager built a team that gets results with ugly football.

Only scenario we have to focus on is beating Portugal because it guarantees us advancing.

Shame Morocco couldn't tie Portugal...our job would have been way easier, requiring only a draw against Portugal to advance. Or if we tied Spain today and Morocco tied them next week, again all we would need is a tie with Portugal.

[Damavand]

Yes, but VAR makes it much more difficult for FIFA to be corrupt.

Not really. Morocco were clearly denied a penalty against Portugal. Renard was screaming at the 4th ref demanding a VAR review but to no avail.

Iran 0-0 Portugal - Unless Carlos realizes his players are much better at going forward than they pretend.

Spain 2-0 Morocco

We need a win, a tie is useless

Wrong. Azeem is right. If somehow Morocco win by 2 goals, a draw gets us through. Obviously we should play for the win, but a draw is not “useless.”

I said what i think will be the possible scores, only if Iran plays the way they did against Spain after conceding than they have a chance of scoring.

[Payam_Ali]

Can't understand why people are so quick to dismiss Morocco against Spain. The same squad that just dominated Portugal (allegedly - I didn't watch) isn't capable of drawing Spain?.

Morocco drawing Spain does not help us at all though...

i wouldn't keep my fingers crossed lol

ohhhh got it

yeah we definitely showed that we have a dangerous attack. we don't have a build up however, it usually starts as a counter, turnover, or a header from a long ball. but ill take it, possession football is boring anyways

Morroco wining by two goals is impossible. We have to beat Portugal and we are capable of doing so. And even if we had drawn Spain, we still had to beat Portugal. What made the biggest difference was the fact that Portugal got all the three points against Morocco. Had they only got 1 point, then we could have advanced with only a draw against Portugal. Now we have to beat them and the match against Spain didn't really make any difference unless of course if we had beaten Spain. But who would have thought that in his right mind?
We have to use the experience and the confidence we got from the Spain match to play even better against Portugal. The Portugal I saw against Morocco is totally beatable.
I think we will beat Portugal and meet Russia in the next round and we will eliminate the host in penalty shootouts :0)

Azeem has Morocco losing by 2 not winning by 2

Guys its not like Portugal wont come to win they will come to win against us. Because they want to get the 1st place in our group we should be patient and try not to give Portugal a lot of space, we will have the chance the score but we should be patient. “Nabayad javgir beshim.”
