They should put a warning on the label : Those with heart problems, please avoid watching Iran's games in the final round of qualification. It can give you a heart attack and you may actually die!
Jenny Craig will be selling Iran's game package as part of their lose weight in no time special !!!Comment

Call me crazy, but I would very much welcome a tough group. With our history of friendlies prior to previous world cups, It can only prepare TM better for Russia 2018. Bring on the Arabs and their ugly game, CQ is a master of mind games.sigpicComment

Alright here is the analysis.
Basically every team that has made it to the final round has its PROS and CONS. So this time around, there is no group of death or an easier group. Both group A and B are pretty much going to be equally difficult.
These pots are not confirmed yet, but many of you have already made the calculations and this is what how the pots are going to look like:
POT 1 (Seeds)
IRAN ((King of Asia))
AUSTRALIA ((Champion of Asia))
POT 2
South Korea
Pro: We have faced them many times before and know how to deal with them
Con: It is about time they take revenge
Japan
Pro: They are underperforming and might be overrated at this moment
Con: We have played them less than S Korea
POT 3
Saudi Arabia
Pro: Weaker than Uzbekistan
Con: Will be drama, and no idea what is going to happen before / during / after the game
Uzbekistan:
Pro: No drama
Con: Stronger than Saudi Arabia
POT 4
UAE
Pro: CQ knows how to deal with them
Con: Stronger than China
China
Pro: Weaker than UAE
Con: We don't know much about them, the Chinese could always pull off a surprise
POT 5
Qatar
Pro: -
Con: Stronger than Iraq
Iraq
Pro: Probably 2 home games for us
Con: They always give their 110% against TM
POT 6
Syria
Pro: No home game for them
Con: Arab team, you don't know what they will pull off against us
Thailand
Pro: Might be weaker than Syria
Con: Away game may be hard, because of their hardcore fans
So basically it does not matter what teams enter our group, with the exception of pot 5, where Iraq is prefered over Qatar.
Being the seeds and leaders of the group, our boys should show a great performance during qualification and be an example for the rest of Asia. I have no doubt that Iran will finish in the same spot as it entered the group: the topComment

Bare in mind, should we be grouped with saudi arabia, the AFC will likely require that we move our fixtures to neutral grounds. This is the real reason the saudis payed the AFC to move the Champion's league venues to neutral grounds, it was to pave the way for their national team not to have to deal with the cauldron that is called the Azadi Stadium filled with 90K Iranians, in the event that they are grouped with us.
No matter, they are doomed either way!!He who joyfully marches in rank and file has already earned my contempt, for he has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice. Albert Einstein
Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted, the indifference of those who should have known better, and the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most that has made it possible for evil to triumph.Comment

i don't want saudi, too much hashiye, players will play angry and stupid, we will not get enough points from them.
I want them to be grouped with SK and get their asses beat, I personally just want nothing to do with them.AKP Parti, Turkiye - Haj Bernie SandersogluComment

Iran, Japan, Uzbekistan, Iraq, China, Thailand
Australia, South Korea, Saudi, Qatar, UAE, Syria
We need Japan to destroy the other teams in our group and for Uzbekistan/China/Iraq to steal points from each other. Qualifying will be Easier.
The other group is a group of death. The margin between Saudi/UAE/Qatar is very slight. South Korea might struggle with the travel times.Comment

Iran will finish first in their group only if we have CQComment
-
that is a great draw, since we will play two home games, as iraq is two home games, we can beat the rest also,Originally posted by perspolis#1 View PostComment

The question is: Will AFC allow Iraq to play their home game against us in Iran? I remember Guam wanted to both games against Iran in Tehran.Comment
