I have a good feeling about this team.

Amin Hazbavi will now join late bc of foolad advancing to QF.

He is the captain and starter in heart of defense next to tractor regular Milad kor.

CB Is a position our youth sides have generally struggled with. Last u20 in WC had shekari as standout player, and managed win vs Costa Rica before narrow defeats to Zambia and Portugal (where shekari continued to shine). Other standouts in that team included ghayedi (limited to bench minutes), aghasi, mohammad soltanimehr, and gholami. Nobody really made it to anything greater than pgpl regular, with none becoming TM regulars. Although after 1 full game plus 50 mins of the Zambia game they were primed to guarantee progression to RO16 before even kicking off the third match, then proceeded to concede 4 goals to Zambia in the space of half an hour and failed to recover mentally.

maybe the future of guys like shekari, soltanimehr would have been different with a deeper run. As u17 proved around the same time, a run to QF of youth wc guarantees good euro opportunities for the star players.

This u20 asian cup also marks first appearance of some main Kia guys like erfan ghorbani, amir reza eslamtalab, both of whom have been invited to Germany for trial periods before turning 18.

None of us are even st-mark index finger
when it comes to covering an event.
But show must go on.

Shabake varzesh should have all tm matches
broadcast.

This is very tough group.

[taremiscores]

With Saman Fallah, Amin Hazbavi, and Milad Kor - we have a great core of young CBs. Obviously, Fallah is too old for this tournament but the point still stands.

[oracle]

Australia
iran
To advance from the group.
I am sure Vietnam is no pushover in that age group....we have done poorly in the paSt, SAMAD MARFAVI hS done good job.
if we do good in this tournament
omid team still cochlear
Samad is good choice.

Up to this point everything as predicted.
Australia top group ,iran runner run.
it would make miracle to win qf against pack house uzbak team.......
THAT WOULD BE GREAT TO WATCH TMU20 IN THE WORLD CUP.


SAMAD SAR TALAIE
SARVAREH UZBAKAIEEEE

It’s a good team but they haven’t had enough prep compared to opponents. Don’t expect much.

They have actually had quite a good prep this time around. I expect at least a semifinal apperance and a WC-place.

[PSGman#19]

Do they play like u17 and typical youth teams (bezan ziresh, no (good) passes? Or like IPL that at least do some decent passing here and there

They played some good football in the qualifiers. The opposition will of course be much tougher now.

They’ve also had a good amount of friendlies and Samad seems to have great connection with the team.
He’s aware of this : No WC = He’s fired.

All in all i’m optimistic and expect at least a semifinal place.

Even if this team fails,
marfavi should stay hc.
In his short time as u20 coach
He already have interduced so many young talents.

This level of tm has only been to 2 wc since 1977(overall 3)
the expectation really is not there.
my expectation is max qf.
