World Cup Qualifier: Iran - Qatar; Info, Updates and Live Reports (01.09.2016)

Mohammadi versus Hajsafi ?

I think CQ will go with Hajsafi for the qatar game because of his experience playing against these anti-football type teams. For the China game, I think we will see Mohammadi in the starting lineup. Use him to counter China's team speed. Personally I think Mohammadi is the better option for future games.

As with all teams who park the bus the key is scoring early, then they will not be parking the bus no more. I expect nothing less than the full 6 points from this game and China.

Like you said the key to a victory vs Qatar is to score in the first 25 mins of the game

Most likely wont happen. If we started that well qualifying would be a lot easier and it never is.

[Nariman]

We have several options, but there are just 2 things I really don't want to see:

- Hajsafi as a LB
- Cashkan as the captain

[mahestan]

So very excited. It's been so long since the last TM match. I am so hoping TM gives them a good spanking.

A bit naughty Mahestan Jaan, do you mean a good hiding?

[Kian Persepolis]

Look at all the Saudis in the comments saying that Iran will lose

^ just sent myself a bogus meeting invite for Sept 1 at 9:00am to 12:30pm on outlook.

[Abtin]

Waiting for this like a little baby, just to forget the current stage of shit.

Guys I've been out of the loop for a while. What happened to Ghoochanejad and Shojaei? Are they still on TM?

They will probably be invited for the WCQ games

Neither is very likely to start but most probably both will get some second-half minutes off the bench, especially if we need an offensive injection of sort..!

Lets hope not! I want this Qatar game to be 3 points. IF CQ can get 6 points in the first two games(by any means necessary) its brilliant. Two ugly wins are perfect at this stage of the round.

We thrive when the opponent needs to achieve something against us. An early goal makes Qatar have to work. When you put the pressure on our team to score a late winner, thats when we crumble.

This makes it so much more likely for teams like Uzbekistan to choke if we get points early. Our last game is against Syria in Tehran while Uzbekistan plays at home to South Korea. It's ESSENTIAL that we are ahead on points against at least one of the two going into that game. Hopefully we'd have secured qualification by then. No more Iran-Bahrain 2001 repeats ever again.
