My comments:

The author of the article knows a fair bit about Team Melli. I'm impressed. However his wishful thinking of Gucci moving Down Under to a micky mouse league is quite hilarious. He forgot that Gucci is in Kuwait on a loan deal, and also it was perhaps a financial motive to move there. Bankrupt or heavily indebted A-League clubs are surely a no go for any sane Footballer in their prime or peak

Very well said and put together, this guy knows what he is talking about. Breath of fresh air to see such articles!

"ROAD TO ... ASIAN CUP 2015: IRAN
December 17, 2014 | Asia & Oceania, Iran

HISTORY - 12 appearances in the Asian Cup Iran from 1968 to 2011. 3 victories, all in a row (1968-1972-1976), 2 when the competition was held just in Iran (1968-1976). The Team Melli (so nicknamed the Iranian national) never disfigured in continental competition, arriving always at least the quarter-finals. Well even in the West Asian Championship trophy confidential memo to the national not invited to the Nations Cup of the Gulf, Iran won four times (2000-2004-2007-2008) and with a final appearance (2010). If at continental Team Melli is considered as one of the major football powers, globally the situation changes radically. Have only 4 participations at the World Cup and has never gone beyond the first round, winning only one game (US-Iran 1-2 in Lyon in the French world of 98).

LA ROSA - Confirmed the block that has performed well at the World Brazilian coach Queiroz (Portuguese born in Mozambique, the former Real Madrid and Portugal but also with experiences in Japan, US, UAE, South Africa, according to Fergusson for Manchester United who won Champions League 2008) points out of 14 players from the league Iranian and a block of players abroad. 4-4-2 module probable (4-5-1 being not posseso). In goal should (the conditional is necessary because with Queiroz has never sure) starting Haghighi (Penafiel); defense 4 with Montezeri (plays in Qatar) and Hosseini (Qatar) with the sides Heydari (Estehlal, still the Iranian league) and Hajsafi (ditto). In midfield you point a lot on the Osasuna Nekounam (Osasuna), on the wings act Shoajei (Qatar) and Jahanbakhsh (Nec Nijmengen in the Netherlands), while the role of box-to-box midfielder will be covered Teymourian (well he all'Esteghal in Iran). Tandem attack safe with Dejagah (Qatar) and Ghoochannejhad (Kuwait)

STAR - Reza Ghoochannejhad, name as complex in pronunciation that fans have renamed Gucci or RPG7. He moved as a young man in the Netherlands, where it makes all the rigmarole of the Dutch national minor and dell'Heerenven with which debuted in 2006. Leave the football to study political science, then return two years taridi, after meeting Marc Overmars, at the time in the technical staff of the local Go Ahead Eagles. In the day's second debut marks the fastest network in the history of Dutch football after just nine seconds. After long wanderings of the loans Hereenven downloads it leaving just at Go Ahed Eagles. 6 goals in 10 appearances and transfers it to the team Cambuur. Here you have the best experience with his 15 goals in 33 appearances but not worth the reconfirmation. Moved to Belgium to Saint Truiden scores more than one goal every two games and you earn the call of Standard Liege. Here too, the club does not believe in him and is released after only 10 appearances at Charlton. In 14 appearances for the national team has scored 10 times with 8 centers in the last 10 games. Iran is also the only player to have scored in the Brazilian world and the only player in the history of Charlton to score in a World Cup. Gucci is a bit not very gifted physically, but with a great speed, good dribbling and a great left, can be fatal couple with Dejagah, or even be deployed as a lone striker in a 4-5-1 with Dejagah behind.

GAMES AND ROUNDS - With this background, Iran is one of the favorites to win; raffled in Group C, should pass without problems. Debut on January 11 against Bahrain in Melbourne, before moving to where Sydeny January 15 will face Qatar. Closes the round the match with the United Arab Emirates January 19 in Brisbane. Important for Team Melli finish first and avoid Japan possible opponent in the quarter-finals."
