2018 WCQ seeds and draw

[Bessos]

D - Guam - Turkmenistan - India - Oman - Iran

My thoughts on each opponent:

Oman - One of the easiest Pot 2 teams, I expect us to deal with them. Also Oman is not a far-away country, so not much travelling needed.
India - I think India has lots of fan support so they should be fun matches to watch. Also not much travelling required.
Turkmenistan - This one is interesting. It is, I believe, the only AFC country where we have no positive record against! Time to deal with this.
Guam - 19-0

Group H is the group of Death since 3 and a half teams are in it to go forward. Iran doesn't have far travel times except against Guam and that shouldnt be a problem either. Qatar clearly got a helping hand getting a soft group except for China. In my opinion, Group F will be the most evenly balanced group.

I got what I wanted today by getting UAE and Saudi in the same group. A shady away match in Malaysia and the chance of dropping point to Palestine may mean that one of these two teams get eliminated in this round.

i agree, saudi dont look that good away, but i dont see iran losing any points, but the guam traveling is a issue, guam is really far

Turkmenistan - Iran, June 16th.

I like the draw.

Japan literally got the easiest group. They can send their C team and still win all games.

^It's you because Iran has been getting easy draws since 1998

I don't know, I remember Japan's AC group being easier than ours. Especially getting the worst team in the tournament in their group. We got 3 pretty good Arab teams in our group.

We've never beaten Turkmenistan in our history. Time to change that on the 16th of June

Nice group, no far travels besides Guam but we could basically send our Omid or even U19 there and still get a comfortable win. If Queiroz stays, we should advance to the final stage without much problems.

Now lets start the predictions

Iran - Guam 8:0
Guam - Iran 0:6
Iran - Oman 2:0
Oman - Iran 1:2
Iran - Turkmenistan 4:0
Turkmenistan - Iran 0:3
Iran - India 6:0
India - Iran 0:5

We advane with 24 points and a goal difference of +35. )

Overview of all the groups:

Hopefully CQ can experiment with a more attacking 4-1-2-1-2 formation against some of these weaker teams. I would love for us to lose one Defensive Midfielder and gain another striker in the formation. Imagine Gucci and Azmoun together up front.

And their striker plays for Chester who are in the fifth (semi-pro) division of England.

Lets prepare the excuses for an eventual loss

We can send a team of PFDC members and still win Guam IMO.
