Iran vs. England match thread

[Artaxerxes]

Its very important from a footballing perspective (the revolution is nr 1 tho) that we put up a good performance and advance from the group for the first time, it will give us more international respect , more scouts will look for iranian players and this team will also be a role model for future generations, just like croatias wc 98 team was until Modric generation broke their achivement.

I hope one day we can watch the WC whit shir o khorshid flag , ey Iran anthem and whit the feeling that we can beat the best instead of the feeling now to just not get smashed against England.

And one last point, this team also need to openly in this WC support the revolution and gain good results to be that legendary olgoh

Tough task but lets hope.

Do we know if TM matches are being covered in Iran? Or IR is afraid as to what the players will do during the games.

Pretty sure they will show it, but of course with a 3-5 min delay so they can censor/ stop the stream in worst case, true IR Shia ISIS style.

Nothing hits like TM in WC, trust me, I'm nervous when my club plays, but it's nowhere near the excitement of TM in the WC, it's unmatched. I just hope they make an upset and shock the Football world. And all the haters of TM are fake, if for instance Sardar would score and he would make a solidarity move, all the haters become suddenly supporters. It's ridiculous anyway, also the haters know, that the majority of TM stands with the people of Iran and it's unfair to treat them like that.

ALL FOR TM, BACHEHA MA GOAL MIKHAIM!

England has questions to answer while facing Iran in Qatar 2022

DOHA, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- England kicks off its World Cup campaign against Iran on Monday in a game that will hopefully answer several questions about Gareth Southgate's side and also show us just how good Iran is.

England breezed through qualifying for Qatar, scoring 39 goals and conceding just three in a relatively straightforward qualifying group. They also finished as runner-up in the 2021 European Championship, after reaching the semifinals of the World Cup in Russia four years ago.

However, they came to Doha without a win since March after a run of three draws and three defeats (two of those against Hungary) in their last six matches.

Those games saw Southgate chop and change his line-ups and formations, switching from a back four to three central defenders.

It would be a big error to underestimate Iran, who once again has the experienced Carlos Queiroz at the helm following his recent success with Egypt. Queiroz replaces Dragan Skocic, who was ruthlessly sacked after he guided Iran through qualifying with 8 wins from 10 matches.

England's big question marks are in defense and with Sardar Azmoun, who has scored 40 goals in 63 games, being a threat (although he has struggled for form with Bayer Leverkusen recently). Meanwhile, Mehdi Taremi has 13 goals in 19 games for Porto this season, including five in the Champions League, and is another player who will have to be watched very closely.

The 4 pm kick-off time may also favor the Iranians with temperatures close to 30 degrees at the hottest part of the day in the Khalifa International Stadium.
