Khoda az dahanet beshanve. Considering most games will likely be played in June in brutal Persian Gulf heat and humidity after a long European season for most of our legionnaires, I'm not very optimistic about our play and chances unfortunately.

I agree that club success does not guarantee success at country level AND there is clear evidence that if and when a national team of great club talent has been able to stay in a tournament (e.g. Spain in WC 2010, England in WC 2018, France in WC 2018) they have been able to do quite well and start gelling together. The example of Spain WC 2010 is a clear one since they started the tournament with a loss to the Swiss and went on to win the whole thing. Notice that I have taken the home court advantage out of the equation since it throws things off and that's why I did not use the examples of France 1998 or England 1966 for that matter. Here I am going to my previous point about a centralized tournament style matches in Qatar in June for the remaining four matches of this WC qualifying stage. We already have great talent playing in decent professional levels with good results (notice I am trying to be conservative here). At least from quantity of players perspective, we have never had this many in Europe. I think the scenario of centralized WC AFC qualifiers in Qatar in June could translate to great success for TM assuming most of our best players stay healthy and fit and our technical cadre does the minimum required that I think they will.
Go TM!

Originally posted by Futbaldoost View PostAgain, the Stadiums in Qatar have a great air conditioning at the pitch level. Heat will be a problem during training not during the matches and it will apply to all the teams. All the other teams in Iran's group may have a slight advantage since they have high temperature humid summers in their countries yet I don't think it will be a big factor against TM.
Go TM!
Mental and physical - I'm not concerned about the technical as we are the best in Asia on that account.

Arab teams play us with passion and its their goal to bring us down. They absolutely want us to lose/tie more than any other ambition they have. They play quite negative football sans Qatar. However, if we start off well enough and get early goals they tend to falter and collapse. The important thing for us is to start games strong and really push it to them once we have a lead. At their baseline, as long as the referee isn't an AFC hack, they are undisciplined foulers and offensively inept otherwise.
Even in the Iraq game, Iraq was one foul away from getting a red card if it wasnt for Shojaei's bone headed move.

If we score early, they're forced to open up and we can pounce on them.

TM has three home games and one away against Cambodia, so the odds are in our favour.
