Iran with 1 day preparation is still better than Qatar with 100 Gulf Cup victories. They know that, we know that, but nobody wants to admit it. Iran's preparations have been shit since 1979, that hasn't stopped us from 3 world cup appearances and dominating groups in AC play in the meantime.
Really, what's new this time around other than us having a better coach and more quality players, especially defensively.
Anyone who tells me Iran is worse off now than we were in 2011 with a closed-door 1-0 victory with Angola and a tie against Qatar in the lead-up and Afshin Ghotbi coaching the likes of Gholami, Rezaei, Nouri, other Nouri, and Ansarifard being the star player... needs some help.
Doom and gloom is everywhere. We all need to be a little realistic here about how far Qatar and UAE have really come.
