FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Bahamas 2017 - Starts Thursday April 27

[Kavian]

It is very possible that we reach the final ... Beating Swiss and the winner of Tahiti vs. Paraguay should also be within reach.

One of things our team lacks is the mental strength to stay focused when they are ahead. We do well, when we trail, but sometime, there is no time to recover. Italy example!

Our players need to play with a bit more sense of urgency to do something with the ball.

If IRAN does not make it to final in this tournament, it will not make it anywhere within our life times.

switzerland is good and so is tahiti, but we can beat them

[versusdamon]

Becoming second in our group is definitely the best that could happen to us. All the teams in our branch (Switzerland, Tahiti, Paraguay) are pretty beatable (as far as I remember we have beaten Tahiti recently and PAraguay at the least World Cup). Every team in the other branch (Brazil, Italy, Senegal, Portugal) is a favourite. Senegal is definitely better than Nigeria.

My guess for the semis:
Iran - Tahiti
Brazil - Italy

Fox Sports 2 will show the Switzerland - Iran game tomorrow:

Let's not underestimate Switzerland.

We may be ranked 5th in the world, but they are ranked 6th, so it will be a pretty even match up. 50/50 chances.

Tahiti is also a top 10 ranked team, let's not forget that. They will probably be our semi-final opponent, if we make it.

I agree.. all their articles so far been about UAE and the so called super star Ali Karim .. who looks like a baboon and had not much to offer in the tournament.
Now, they are sucking Iranian's Khaayeh to the point that they are almost swallowing them!!! fckers!

[Bessos]

It's always been Iran that has to save AFC's ass reputation, but the ungrateful fkers are too stupid to realize that!!!!

Bikhial, I would rather not represent Arab FC at any time.

[PersianLegion]

AFC is Arab football confederation. I don't blame them because these rich Arab countries contribute so much to AFC in terms of logistics and finances. Consequently, it is natural to see them only promoting Arab teams and ignoring Iran in general, despite Iran being the dominant footballing nation in West Asia. We don't need their attention.

If only we could either join Uefa or somehow these Arab folks separate from AFC and establish their own football confederation under Middle East or any other possible name tag, it would be awesome. Since our government and football facilities are shitty there is no chance of joining Uefa for now.

We're the dominant footballing nation in ALL of Asia

Also, no need to separate from AFC to get recognition, as long as we keep winning matches, the attention and recognition will come with it.

[PersianLegion]

It is not recognition only (look at AFC ceremonies past 2004), our team is not treated well (referees and afc decisions), and there is less respect and merits in AFC. The competition is not intense and we are already a top team, so there is little to gain staying in this organization. Year after year we should play against the likes of India, Guam or Bangladesh in qualifiers and we don't get too much friendlies with decent teams. As you can see staying in AFC with current situation is just stagnation.

If somehow we can join Uefa like Azerbaijan, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Israel and Turkey did, at least we have to play against stronger teams in European Championship, WCQs and CL or EL competitions constantly. This will help us to develop our football to higher levels. Staying in AFC is only good for fifa world cup qualification. This privilege is getting ruined by future expansions.
