Iran Grouped with Brazil, Spain & Mexico for the 2015 Beach Soccer World Cup

[Zamboor]

No direct flights from here as well. You will probably have to do a stop in either Frankfurt or Spain. But definitely go for Porto and spend the holiday there. The place where the competition is, is REALLY close!

Does carlos live in porto while he is not in Iran? XD

[O-ZoNe]

Iran has one of the best keepers in the beach soccer world. I expect a strong squad ready to contend with the best of them. If the lads try hard, and give their best, nothing should be able to stop them that is within their control.

Group D is ridiculously easy compared to the rest, Group C also is not too bad.

Should i take a flight or train?

It's going to be a 2 day train ride bro with all the connections and wait times and probably cost you at least 600 Euros each (return).

Flying into Lisbon would be much cheaper than that and I'd just rent a car from there and drive up to Porto, stop along the way for some fabulous sea food in one of the quaint Portuguese villages along the way.

If you have a car, you can also visit the most western spot in continental Europe (little west of Lisbon) and maybe cross the border on the north into Spain and go to Vigo (100 k north of Porto) or A Coruna for a night or two.

If you're into sea food, north Western Spain is the only place you can get Angulas (baby eels and a delicacy equivalent to Caviar) for a half decent price - highly recommended experience.

We have a decent chance to qualify from the group. I believe our coach is Brazilian? He might be able to analyze Brazil's play and outsmart them somehow.

I also believe Iran defeated Brazil before, on penalties at least.

Spain is just as dangerous as Brazil, but Mexico seems the easiest of the three.

If we somehow qualify from the group, we have a chance to win the title, because we are already facing the best teams during the group stage...


I predict the following teams will qualify from the group:

Group A
1. Portugal
2. Argentina

Group B
1. Italy
2. Switzerland

Group C
1. Brazil
2. Iran

Group D
1. Russia
2. Tahiti

It reminds me of our volleyball...

Iran is always being put in the toughest possible groups (Bazil,USA,Russia) but we ended up causing upsets every year, and now we are no less than them LOL.

That is what Iran is good at.... whenever it's tough, they perform beyond great. And vice versa.
