Persian Gulf Cup Updates (Iran's opponents)

PFDC members are so silly and unrealistic with their predictions.. You need to wake up.
Realistically it will be Iran 0-5 UAE


Seriously big lol @ people turning UAE and other sh!tty nations in to beasts..

[Farhad-7]

Guys calm down. UAE beat Iraq not Germany or Argentina.
It's true UAE is looking good and one of the favorites to qualify to 2nd round in Asian Cup for the 1st time but Iran should realistically beat them. Don't be surprised if it ends in a draw though. They could grass-roll for a draw.

If things go to plans, Iran should defeat Bahrain and Qatar.
I'm more worried about Qatar actually. They turn out really good when they face Iran for some reason but if we can beat them in Doha, then it can be done in Australia especially TM being better than that stage. Qatar on the other hand are somewhat at the same level.

[Superparsi]

It will be another 3-0 in favor of Iran!

[GoIran]

In my opinion, if we are going to aim for the title then UAE should not be a worry at all. UAE is still a minnow in Asian football. UAE never qualified for the 2nd round at the Asian Cup.

UAE advanced to the final in 1996 and lost to Saudi Arabia on penalties. They also finished fourth place in 1992, eliminating TM in the group stage (We got robbed in the final game vs Japan though).

We always have a dark horse, remember Japan drew with Jordan and they almost lost to Syria in the group stages, before winning it, not to mention beating Qatar 3-2 in Extra time...Asian cup is tough...everyone is going to be at their best...and if we are not, we will be eliminated.

In the Syria game Torki made a bad decision to give a penalty to Syria and send off Japan's goalkeeper. If not, Japan should have won with ease. As for Qatar vs Japan, the ref was obviously bribed by the Qataris. He did everything he could for Qatar (giving them easy freekicks, sending off Japan's defender, ignoring Qatar's dangerous tackles etc) but somehow Japan made it scoring legit goals the ref couldn't disallow. I couldn't stop laughing at Qatar.

Preparations weren't optimal so far but we played six clubs, Kuwait, Guinea, Belarus, Angola, Montenegro, Trinidad, Nigeria, Argentina, Bosnia and South Korea this year. With the two additionally planned friendlies we should be quite synced.

[saadat_abad]

there was rumors that we were going to play south africa?
if true that would be great because they beat nigeria in the african cup Q's!

[sarbaz]

Kaffashian has said a couple of times that in the South Africa camp Iran will play 1 club and 2 national teams

[CHaMiLLionaire]

Qatar beat Oman 3-1 in the semi final and is off to the final.
Ali Assad Qambar scored twice... he is originally from Bandar Lengeh but got the Qatari nationality after being born and living there.


UAE vs Saudi Arabia up next...

[OFFSIDE_1]

Yes, our friendlies schedule has been disappointing, but CQ has proven that a well conditioned team can overcome lack of high profile friendlies in the preparation stages.
