World Cup Qualifying 2nd Round MD 7: Iran - India @ Azadi Stadium, Tehran; 24-03-2016

All jokes aside, I think either Azmoun or Taremi will have a hattrick in this game.

My prediction is either 5-0 or 6-0, with a towdl of 12 missed opportunities.

We should play our experienced CBs against India so our attack has all the time in the world to practice gelling against an easier defense.

Against Oman we should play the younger CBs so they get used to playing a team of Omans caliber and above.

[Iran_19]

I want see this line up:
---------------Mazaheri-------------------------
--Rezaeian-PouraliGanji-Hosseini-HajSafi----
--------Ezzatollahi-Ebrahimi--------------
Jahanbakhsh-----------------Torabi----------
----------Ansarifard-----Azmoun--------------
Lets play with two forwards against a team like India.

Subs
-Taremi for Ansarifard
-Shahbazzadeh for Azmoun
-Shojaeian for Torabi

[Sarbaze-Vatan]

My line-up vs India:

Beiranvand

Ghafouri Kanaani Montazeri Mohammadi

Ezatolahi Haj Safi

Dejagah

Jahanbakhsh Azmoun Torabi

Subs:

Taremi for Azmoun
Shojaeian for Dejagah
Amiri for Torabi

Do not you remember Beiranvand got a red card against Guam? Dejagah is also suspended against India after getting a yellow card against Guam.

[Sarbaze-Vatan]

I go with this line up against India:

Mazaheri

Rezaeian, Montazeri, Hosseini, Mohammadi

Ebrahimi, Ezatolahi

Torabi, Jahanbakhsh, Amiri

Azmoun

So Gucci don't play?

So Gucci don't play?

With the way ansarifard is playing right now I think he deserves a chance.....it's better to make these sort of tests now rather than the next round of qualifications where you'd want to go with safe bets like Gucci.

Damn, that's a very young team. Apart from Jalal (who would obviously captain the team) and Ehsan.

I can only see TM getting better over the upcoming months that lead towards the World Cup.

[Z Joon]

Looking at the teams CQ brought in this stage of the last WCQ I think we can probably expect a very experimental and young team vs India, and somewhat of a "B" team vs Oman, which is a good thing as this is the perfect opportunity to have fresh faces show what they can do.

Also seeing what he said in his recent interview about "short/medium-term" and "long-term" call-ups we may also see some slightly older but more established surprise call-ups in the final stage of the qualifiers that will only be there for a few games

[Ghermez Agha]

Now with the final roster out, this is the line up I'd like to see vs India:

Mazaheri

Rezaeian Pouraliganji Pourghaz Mohammadi

Ezzatolahi Shojaeian Ebrahimi

Torabi Azmoun Amiri



....I'd ideally like to see Ansarifard get a good amount of minutes as well. Kamyabinia played well in his list TM match I'm interested to see if he can follow it up with another good game. For me the biggest player to watch out for will be shojaeian (assuming he will get a chance) he looks really, really promising so if he can play for TM as good as he does for Gostaresh he will be a real gem. Hope for a good game

[perspolis#1]

Apparently the God of FIFA, Sunnil Chettri is injured and wont make it to the game.

Things just got a lot easier
