The Official "COME ON CONGO" Thread - Fight for Pot 3

[CAGE]

Whats with you guys wanting an easy group in the world cup? I think we will be much more remembered in the history books beating or drawing with a good team like England or Italy and not making it to the round of 16 then going to the round of 16 beating Panama or New Zealand

Panama or New Zealand will not make it.

No one cares who we beat, as long as we make it far in the World Cup.

Iran is laughed at by other Asians for not making it out of Group Stage.

The only way we get an easy group is if get drawn with Russia.
Either way, if we get an easy group, we produce results or it will be a complete embarrassment for Iran.

World cup rule number 1: Never wish to play against the host.
They have home and referee advantages.

plus look at Euro - I would not look forward to being in a stadium with those fans

edit: there are no "easy" groups in the world cup. If you made the round of 16 it means you performed well. That's the goal. Not to look good against Argentina and have a "oh man what if" moment and still get eliminated in the group round like last time.

Current FIFA Ranking. Results from Monday, Tuesday not included. (Time, 19:50 CET)

Sure Qualified and NOW in front of Iran:

(Russia)
1. Germany
2. Brazil
3. Belgium
4. Poland
5. Spain
6. Mexico
7. England
8. Uruguay
9. Costa Rica
10. Iran
11. Egypt
12. Japan
13. Nigeria
14. Korea Rep.
15. Saudi Arabia

Teams which are NOW and also later clear IN FRONT OF Iran OR WILL PASS IRAN and probably qualify, even if Iran win away vs. Russia are:

(based on my calculations)

Switzerland will qualify directly. if they win vs. Portugal in pot 1, if they draw pot 2, because
France will win its match vs. belarus.
Chile, Colombia and Argentina qualify, while Peru will once again miss the World Cup.
Iceland directly, Ukraine or Croatia in relegation, I rate Ukraine higher today.
Sweden also rating higher to qualify..

following Pots:

A1: Russia
2. Germany
3. Brazil
4. Portugal (relegation)
5. Argentina
6. Belgium
7. France
--------------
8. Switzerland
9. Spain
10. Colombia
11. Chile
12. England
13. Mexico
14. Uruguay
15. Italy (relegation)
-------------
16. Iceland
17. Costa Rica
18. Sweden
19. Ukraine / Croatia
20. USA
21. Egypt
22. Tunisia
23. Serbia
-------------
24. Iran

So I think there is a chance to land in pot 3, but we will be around slot 22,23,24,25,26 but everything must be perfect for us, to land in pot 3...


I think we still have to wait until tomorrow evening after qualification of Uefa and Conmebol and concacaf finish...

What do you put this on? From my perspective there are still a number of teams above us that have to go through relegation e.g. Italy, Portugal, Croatia etc. If they don't make it we'll push up in the queue.

Iran is the only traditionally Asian giant which yet didn't make it to the second round of WC(If you exclude Australia from this group which joined AFC in last few years).

Slovakia is out as the only 2nd place team

[ilovefootball]

If we are in Russia group we will qualify to second round. That's the only way IMHO

[FF187]
