With all due respect, but I will never understand the mentality some people here have. Why would you ever want to be champions, if you had the easy road? How could you ever be proud of your achievements, if you knew, you had it easy and didn't beat the best? In my humble opinion, this is the very idea of a WORLD CUP. Play the very best. Winning DESPITE the odds! I would prefer Iran to lose fair and square against the best, rather than them reaching the finals by beating weaker teams only because of a strategic loss in the group stages. That is not sportsmanlike behavior and in my opinion there is no honor in winning like that. I know other teams do this as well, and in 20 years most people will only see the title, and not the way it was achieved. But deep down we would always know how we would have reached that title. I for one, do not want such a title. To quote a metal song from my youth: "We would rather fight and die with honor, than to live with shame"
Believe in the boys. This is Football/Futsal and anything can happen! They have beaten Brazil before!
