Oh man all of Pot B teams are juicy. I want:

Iran
Australia
Iraq
Jordan
China
Indonesia

[Super Shojaei]

Iran
Saudi Arabia
UAE
Bahrain
China
Indonesia

Indonesia might be hostile away day but better than North Korea
SaudI Arabia at Azadi would be fantastic
UAE would be an easy team to beat as would Bahrain
China are in free fall

[Nokhodi]

Iran
Oz
UAE
Oman
kyrgz republic
Indonesia

This setup would get us the least outside of the field interference.

if we’re in a group with Saudi or Qatar it will be zahre mar.

Jordan defeated KSA 2-1 away and the fact that they reached the final in the AC shows that have immensely improved and would be a worthy opponent if they end up in our group.
