Saudi Arabia, Japan & Australia only play 3 matches in June, yet Iran has to play all 4 matches in June.

How is this even possible?

This is so confusing....Saudi's are playing in March 30th? Same as Japan?

A quick google suggests the Aussie game has been rescheduled to June but let's not let facts get in the way of a chance to cry a bit more.

Australia yes - has been pushed back, but Japan and Saudi Arabia are still playing in June.

We could have played in March as well against Hong Kong or Cambodia.

well thats one thing afc done right in our favor lol. Who would want to play in march. We don't even have a full squad ready. I don't even mind if they delay the games to october or november or even december

what are u talking about it? If we were to play Hong Kong or Cambodia, we would have been in a much better place then being a friendly against Syria.

no they are different topics. has nothing to do with each other.

Well as of right now we have couple of players injured and one player has covid. Skocic doesn't even know which format he gonna play.
I think even june is too early for us to 100% ready.

Iran with Team B would win against Cambodia easily in March (if they were to play)

It's the inconsistency with AFC's rulings that's the issue:

-Some teams play in March, others delayed till June
-Some teams can host home games, while others can't
-TM remaining group games are at Bahrain (robbing Iran of home 3/4 home games remaining, making Iran play in the hot summer months of Bahrain, etc)
