2024 futsal world cup

FIFA should stop making host countries Seeded, and just go off the rankings !!

, look how weak Uzbekistan was last place in their group at home ! , now the whole draw is missed up ,,, if Iran wants the easier path to the finals, it be better that they throw their last game against France and lose 1-0 or 2-1 , or else the have Morocco , brazil , Spain just to make it to the final ,,,. Way hard ,

but if they finish 2nd then. They get Thailand Paraguay t Argentina. ?!?

what you guys think ?!?

Anyway, I would also definitely choose to lose to France and end second. This half of the bracket is much much easier.

Uzbekistan really disappointed. It was the most balanced group but very doable.

Chances are quite high that Afghanistan and Tajikistan will make it as best 3rd placed teams. Afghanistan have shown a very good debut, the 1-4 against Ukraine was much narrower than the scoreline shows and Ukraine is also a constant Top-10 team.

Guatemala and Venezuela from our group have really shitty goal differences, so chances are high that neither of them will go through. Same for Libya. Tajikistan definitely needs to win to go through but I am positive they will win against Panama after showing very good performances against Morocco and Portugal. Morocco - Portugal will be very narrow tbh, I would not be surprised if Morocco wins.

Regarding the Iran-France game - I would be happy with either a massive win to show dominance or any loss to simply get the easier bracket.

Rumor has it Iran's team has "anfolonza" and might not even attend the France match 🤭

Yes I saw that as well but that's only theater. I think they are planning for a defeat and justification.

TM lineup vs France is our bench. Looks like coach got the PFDC memo! lol

[Artaxerxes]

Hahah neither side want to score

[shahin2000]

What a disgraceful match fixing by both teams… neither team wants to win and end up in Brazil bracket.

[Artaxerxes]

This is embaressing, both sides are making mistakes on purpose and begging the other team to score, damn sissies....

[Artaxerxes]

DISGRACE from both teams, they are not even hiding their fixing, the crowd rightfully buuuu them both in halftime.

Disgusting and no respect for the sport.

Iran will still top the group whit a draw so why embaresse yourselfs whit this bullshit???

Smack them hard and build more momentum for the knockouts

[diz]

It’s truly comical. 0-0 after the first period with obvious deliberate mistakes by both teams.

at this rate I expect own goals in the second period.

”unfortunately”, Iran tops the group if it remains a draw due to GD and faces Brazil bracket.

[Essi]

Disgrace. Even if you want to lose, you can not be so obvious. French team even worse.

By now, I swallow my words when I said earlier to lose on purpose. They should just enter the pitch and beat the hell out of France to gain back some respect.

[shahin2000]

I sincerely hope both teams lose their next match. In fact I hope FIFA fines both teams.

[shahin2000]

Why is there even a halftime break? It’s not like they exerted any energy.

[Ali Doust]

Never seen two teams trying so hard not to score.

[shahin2000]

If I remember correctly in 2004 Asian Cup, football not futsal, Iran and Japan deliberately played to a draw to advance as top two teams from the group that pissed off Oman. I would have no problem with FIFA kicking out both teams due to match fixing. Neither team wants to end up in Brazil’s side of the tournament.
