Warm Up Talk: Countdown Until the 2023 Asian Cup - 48 days away!

[Hosseini]

Given we have no matches scheduled until the first match against Palestine on January 14th, we can discuss the event details and have a 'warm-up talk' in honor of Oracle 48 days until the tournament starts

Don't we have closed doors friendly against Indonesia before AC?

What if they order go easy on palestine
let's say tm win 1-0....then palestine let uae score
a lot of goal on them , and uae get tie last day against team melli, and tm finish 2nd.

Finishing second
means china or qatar in r16
and Japan in qf....

This is an important point. Also the Palestine game won't be that easy. Given everything that's happening they will play with a lot of pride and given the fact they only lost to Australia 1-0, it's impressive

Qatar in R16 would be a real fkcing headache 😅 We could lose

China is no walk in the park either.

Technically counts as match fixing so we would get suspended if FIFA hears about it.

We need to beat Hong Kong and Palestine woth a higher GD

Ahmad noor said,
he didn't disrespected anyone and hope to be in ac. He had great match in his team 4-1 victory.

maybe in 2035 iran can host ac.

The new stadium in Tehran
They signed the contract with Chinese designer firm
to start the design...
Persian gulf sports complex is the name.

Its not only a stadium issue, a total new I.R free government also need to be in place, they will never let us host the AC as long as I.R dosent meet their total fall.

With that historically correct name, the Arab Football confederation, possibly the most thin skinned people to exist in human history will raise issues everytime they have to go there.

meh... yet to see anything special from TM recently that would suggest we could legit beat a more solid asian opponent (SK, Japan, Aussie, maybe even the resurging Saudies..) in a KO round..!?
so for time being im still betting on a 1/4final exit or at best semis if we get lucky and brackets match-ups favor us a bit.

We are our own master of choking...it's always something . Like Kanaani in AC 2019. Just tamper your expectations, TM is the only team where the floor is group stages and ceiling is finals. We're like bad enough that we choke but good enough that we can clutch if our team plays with physicality and at their best (like Wales)

Saudiand Australia maybe because Saudi play very attacking and we also play very attacking and can outscore them.

Australia maybe because they are just a weird version of Wales without the premier league players.

Japan and SK I highly doubt it they know us too well and know to patiently wait until we shoot ourselves in the foot
