    2024 futsal world cup

    Iran
    France
    Venezuela
    Guatemala

    Group F.

    Sept 16
    iran vs Venezuela

    Great draw Group stage .

    Group f and e 1st place won't play any 3rd place teams in r16.

    Dose that mean Group f 1st and 2nd play Group e 1st and second in r16?

    If yes we are in a bad place since
    We have to play either Portugal or morroco in r16.

    Need to confirm statement above

    Scrolling down, 1F plays 2E, 2F plays 2B.

    In our group, France seems to be 2nd tier UEFA, it came from the same qualification group as Croatia against Slovakia and Germany, the latter having basically no professional futsal culture. Only worthy team they hardley beat was Serbia.
    Guatemala is one of the stronger CONCAFAF teams, but we should beat them like we did multiple times before.
    Venezuela is hard to tell, also rather 2nd tier CONMEBOL. Got a solid 3rd place in CONMEBOL qualification, losing 3-0 to Brazil.
    My ranking would be Iran > Venezuela > France > Guatemala, with all games relatively narrow.

    Group E is Portugal, Panama, Morocco and Tajikistan. First glance is upper half Portugal/Morocco, bottom Tajikistan/Panama. Tajikistan did perform very well but its their first world cup. Morocco really has a good run, check their 2023 results against Argentina, all African teams, some Asian teams, they did not lose and often win by decent margins, comparable to Iran:

    Portugal is still strong, no doubt about that.

    If we win that game, quarterfinal would be the winner of 1B/3ACD, so probably 1B = Brazil

    Best strategy is therefore to not to become first in our group


    If we become second in our group, our next opponent would be 2B.
    2B could be Thailand/Croatia/Cuba, while Croatia is imo the weakest UEFA team. Cuba is also not the strongest CONCAFAF team, rather Guatemala/Panama and we won against them.
    If we win that game, quarterfinal would be the winner of 1A/3CDE. Group B is rather weak but balanced (Uzbekistan, Paraguay, Netherlands, Costa Rica). The 3rd places from CDE could be for example Afghanistan, Libya, Tajikistan.
    In any case our quarterfinal opponent would rather be a 2nd tier / not top 10 team.

    To be honest, would prefer the second path, after that (in the semis) we get to the likes of Argentina/Portugal and final Brazil or Spain.

      Good to see Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan all qualifying, along with Uzbekistan qualifying as hosts

        100% Let's finish second I agree with you.
        but majority here will disagree for team finish second on purpose but maybe they learned from ac failure.

          2 e is most probably morroco Africa champ.
          tm played them in friendly before ac and lost the game and big fight broke out...most probably tm will play them.it be fun to watch.

          Finishing 2nd will take us to semifinal.

            AC failure had nothing to do with with being first/second in group and more had to do with coaching mismanagement from our coach and staff in terms of player selection and tactics. Let's not blame anyone else other than GN for waiting till minute 90 vs Qatar to make tactical subs

              Instead of
              syria then 8 days off for players have TIME FOR orgy ,cheating wife chasing cheating husband to hotel
              drama , then japan and only 60hours rest THEN HOME TEAM ref favor qatar . OTHER SIDE OF BRACKET if finished 2nd it would of been minimum final appearance...
              if that ac didn't convince people to play for much easier road to advance in tournment then nothing will...

                  As I said if that ac didn't convince people that creating your own destiny is best way of winning a tournament then nothing will..

                  Lakers had chance of losing to pelicans then beat kings finish 8th to avoid Denver and Minnesota 1st and 2nd round...they choose to beat pelicans and take their chance with nuggets and we saw how that worked out.. instead they could of played
                  Okc, Dallas both very much winnable teams and be in west conference final...their hc said we will not do that and guess what he is fired now😅😅😅

                  Sport is different than real life...in sport tournaments and playoffs destiny is in your own hand and many teams have won trophy chasing seedings and easier road and no one cares they did that everyone remember they won the trophy..

                    Tbh thats just excuses for us to feel better. How many fresh players did we have? We had Torabi/Gholizadeh/Ghaedi/Taremi all ready to go. That short rest time never really mattered because mister general decided to bring 6 strikers and only 4 midfielders (he could have brought 4 strikers, included nourallahi and an extra CB/fullback).

                    We lost because GN has bad philosophy with substitutes and randomly decided to change tactics to 4-2-3-1 full time after Japan game (With Taremi as LW for first time in 2 years)

                      From different angel looking at situation.
                      our players suck on 3 days rest and qatar match was 2 and half...history has shown tm suck on 3 days rest....both cq and general made mistake fielding almost same players after beating wales and Japan......both got scared touching wining line up and tactic....cq even dug his own grave by playing injured biravaNd over game ready hossini.

                      MY FINAL OPINION STAY THE SAME
                      WE DISNT ADVANCE FROM 22 WC GROUP DUE TO MAHSA AMINI
                      , AND WE DIdNT ADVANCE to ac final because we
                      Choose finish 1st instead of second.

                          Croatias national futsal team cancelled their visit to Iran because of the tensions right now.

                          I.R has turned Iran to a real shithole in every way.

                              Not being good enough is also a reason.

                              Our most experienced team ever could not beat young youthful USA. Nothing to do with Mahsa Amini RIP

                              Anytime we lose to Qatar is shameful especially now that they dont have so many players named Enrique Iglesias or Pablo Escobar or Umbabu like they normally do
