Saudi Arabia vs Iran

[_Navid_]

But seriously the other group is much more exciting it seems. 4 teams will really fight for it until the last day and any 2 could qualify. In our group it will 95% be Iran and Korea as expected.

Yes we are #1 in Asia, but again I still think if we were to play them a friendly match, we would have a trouble.

Basically as much as when you said Son would cause us trouble, right? If yes, then I agree

[Tehranto]

I've watched some Saudi games - they would lose to us. It's not even close. As MR said, they will not even get one shot on us. We would win 2-0 at Azadi, 1-0 in Arabia.

The rankings in Asia are currently (from my eye test):
1) Iran
2) Australia
3) Japan
4) South Korea
5) Uzbekistan
6) Saudi Arabia

The rest don't matter.

That's because Queiroz is not coaching in that group

Yeah but you also said we only had a 5% chance of winning in Tashkent.

I wouldn't write off Uzbeks yet.

If there is one team which is correctly Ranked by FIFA, that is Iran.

The 8-0ers haven't met Iranian concrete yet. Their turn will come, hopefully under the rule of King Qeiroz the great.
