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

I hope to see Limouchi integrated into the senior team as well considering how rough our winger situation is.

20 more days until Iran’s first game. We must all pray for the physical well being of our players over the next couple weeks. Taremi, beiro, saman, sardar, ezza (lol), maybe one or two others we must keep an eye on.

Torabi and Mohebi because otherwise we have no other wingers left, since ARJ is still recovering and Gholizadeh is injured again

He's a good player? Have any more info on Mehdi Limouchi?

This is the most hyped and anticipated tournament since 1998 France or 2006 Germany

Plot twist: the reason Kahveh was not in the squad list for his club match last week was because he is doing the paperwork for TM

(this is fake fantasy news)

Really? I feel like everyone is going into this with no hope at all. In 2019 we went in having had a wonderful WC performance , a young squad, and a extremely passionate coaching staff which compared to the lead up to this AC is basically the opposite . This is probably Taremi/Azmoun/ARJs last chance to grab a serious trophy for their generation. If we can avoid a mental breakdown we can make a serious run into the tournament. We need to play every match like we are down 3-0.

I'm the most sarcastic person in my family.

I mean not a single tv channel advertising it.

Most broadcasters who have the rights are not even showing it.

AFC isnt even advertising it and its in their beloved Qatar.

Headscratcher for sure

He was around Mahdavikia's time in U-23. His name always stood out to me.
A lot of raw talent and seems like an intelligent player.

Tends to do well in the counter and wide positions cutting in.

Had a solid cameo against perspolis. If he was on our roster instead Omri, we would be in the AFC round of 16 right now.

There is kori between 98 players and current players
on which era is better.

98 claim they are but they willing to admit current team is better if they make the final.

this has motivated the players and in their talks openly talking about final.

I never remember any tm players with confidence talking about final.........

This team have high confidence maybe the highest ever.........

Is having high confidence enough to take them far?
imo it won't hurt and maybe this is what is need it to finally ger over the hump. The talent is there.

I know we have lots of people with Arab last names, but his is very unique. Is he Algerian or something?

Lol Japan will bring them back to reality even if we make it that far. In a matchup with Japan I don't think we have more than a 20 percent chance of winning.

Japan game will be the final game . So they're not far off by saying they will make it to the final. Unless either iran or japan don't top their group then we will meet them in quater finals.

They said they will make it to the final because they know japan will be in the final too.

I have a feeling uzbekistan will top the group and beat japan in semi finals.

Iran/SK vs Uzbekistan in finals

Honestly I'm expecting Japan to get shithoused out of the tournament before they even get to us in finals. Mitoma and Tomiyasu are injured, including some others so they will be either out of form or won't be playing. The whole tournament is a game of who has least injured squad since it's in December.

Having said that, Id say we have about 10-15% chance of winning. We just don't have mental capacity to not have a breakdown.
