Round of 16 other teams chat - Not Iran's

[Damavand]

who was this? what happened?

WC 74 West Germany lost to East Germany in group stage to avoid being in the same group as Holland, Brazil and Argentina in the next round.

WC 78 Holland lost its last game in group stage to Scotland to avoid being grouped with host Argentina and Brazil in the next round.

On both cases they made it to the final with West Germany actually winning the trophy/

It is called being smart. They are and we are not

They have to play Saudi now. Ena bena Klinmannolah

When we beat Japan I'm going to feel smug as anything, after all this chat about iran should lose intentionally etc.

If we don't win then all of us should apologise to Khodadad Azizi, Mashsaeed, Webmaster and others who said we should do a Klinsmann

[rdwrrr]

Overall
I think we have the lighter side of bracket

We will avoid Australia, Korea, Saudi or Iraq until final
Hopefully Japan is not 100%

[DR Strangemoosh]

i wonder if saudi will now lose to thailand loll.

[Damavand]

Varzesh TV are saying what a joke of a game the Korea - Malaysia game was.

Even Korea U23 would beat Malaysia .Truly shameful.

Japan Is on another level and Klinsmann knows that. Saudis can easily be undone
Saudis might want to avoid SK and we will find out soon!
GN will find out about Japan in QF!!

If ksa lose they come on our side. I am sure they will lose to thailand today

Bahrain is going to give Japan trouble. They are not a weak team. Again, their striker Yusuf is of high quality and they have good wing play. Watched their match vs. Jordan.

[rdwrrr]

How about Korea's Defense.
Giving up at least 1 goal every game, 6 in total

[DR Strangemoosh]

Korean fans on bigsoccer seem as scared of us as Japan lol

I wonder if they didin't have Klinsmann if they would be more confident. poor team, they didn't deserve this

[Essi]

This is funny. I'm switching between Shabakeye Varzesh with Khiabani/Tootoonchi and IRIB3 with Misaghi. Varzesh people are pissed and sure that Korea did not win intentionally while Misaghi and IRIB3 are saying the opposite. That Korea did evertything to win.

If we beat Japan our bracket side is actually not so bad. Japan showed they can be beaten.
to be honest none of the big teams looked particularly infallible this tournament. The other side has Saudi Korea Aus.

Don't judge them vs Jordan. Jordan also didn't want to come in first.

Azizam, SK did not intentionally draw. Did you watch the game? Malaysia were superb. The finish for the third goal was honestly sublime!
