Official World Cup draw thread - Iran's group

[shahabGAOL]

It would be good Carlos Queiroz know everythink about Portugal national team the big chance that we draw or even win for Iran is possible. He know every step and players of Portugal, him self he was Portugal coach in WC2010. Carlos Queiroz can train our players to the game against Portugal.

My wife is not happy that Iran is there group. Yesterday I made yoke with my wife she is from Morocco and I told I feel that Iran will be in the some group and it has happend. I think we have a chance against them if we play good with our heart. It is important that we WIN against Morocco even 1:0.. I know that Iran is strong in defending but this time we have Sardar Azmoun and they want him by Real Madrid and Engeland Arsenal the New Messi.

We play before against Morocco and Iran has won that game!

Spain imo, is the most likely of all of our losses..!!
our packed and organized D seems Most Vulnerable vs Fast Passing/tiki taka offenses ...!! i cant think of any other team that does that better than Spain..!!

Our only narrow Salvation is beating Morroco (which is got a borefest, goal-less Draw written all over it ) and hope for a lucky draw from Carlos's home country..!!

We know how to play well against teams that want possession.
Quick transitions are what is TM's weakness to defend against and Morocco and Portugal are actually better at that than Spain.

Plus against Spain, our boys will play their best because its Spain.
But against Morocco they'll think they're the "easy" team and act complacent. CQ will have to whoop our players into shape.

Honestly, if we beat Moracco and Spain beats Portugal to start (which seems pretty realistic), it will most likely come down to one match against Portugal for the knockout stage. Hopefully Ronaldo picks up a yellow in his first two matches if that happens

[saeed_noro]

Oh i hate always Saudi so easy group!! My wife is from Morocco and we will play them, there brothers sent me message but I still for Iran!

I think we have a good chance against Morocco and we have a solid defence we show it in WC 2014 against Argentina! I wish we got Group A! I think we would be 3th .. but maybe we can defead or draw against Portugal and Spain

if we have a solid defense, than Morocco also has a solid defense. they finished without conceding a goal. will be a 0:0 match probably...

At first I was really pissed off about this group of death, but now I am very excited.

The hard game is the one against Morocco. Many of them have grown up together in the youth Dutch clubs so they will be hungry to show what they can do on the world stage. I wish we played them last instead of first but then again against Bosnia in the last world cup we could have done it but didn't manage.
Spain is still great, and Isco I expect to shine, but they are not the same Spain as 4-5 years ago.

Portugal as Euro champions are slightly better but even they are prone to mistakes and underestimations.
Don't forget both Spain and Portugal did the same as Iran in WC2014 (group stage exit).

Azmoun knows Kazan inside out and that will help against Spain.
Queiroz will be very hungry against both Portugal and Spain, both of whom he feels treated him badly for country and club respectively.
Group stage "groups of death" I don't think exist any more in today's football where a country of 300,000 with previously little pedigree can easily outperform a country of 100,000,000 in football terms. Anything is doable.

What possible invetations foe friendlies could we get with this group?

you mean the other way round, more like, who we can beg endlessly to accept a freindly with us on neutral ground, after we worked out how to pay them in advance!

Saudi Arabia and Japan got easy groups

Although Complacency is our historic weakness, CQ will never allow such thing to happen in his TM, besides that is the Openner, both side know that is their best chance for 3 points and will be hyped to begin the tourney..!!
IT ALL COMES DOWN TO GOOD PREPARATIONS AND OUR EVENTUAL ABILITIES AND PURE QUALITY AS A TEAM..!!

the way our preparations is going and likely to continue and the Fact that @ least ATM our TM simply is Not on-par, squad quality wise, with any other team in our group, should pretty much seal our fate at last place team..!!

the Goal from here on should be to Better our WC preparations, compared to Morroco and hope for a way to beat them..!

i honestly be content with just one Win at the WC18..!! Everything else is just bonus

Saudi Arabia and Japan got easy groups

You forgot, Arabestan is the easy part of the group haha
