What do you think is the fair odds of IRAN making it out of group stage.

[rdwrrr]

I think If I can get 20-1 or better, I would make a bet on them.

[ehsan singapore]

dont bet on iran at all

[EKBATAN]

20 to 1 is great. Put 50 and get 1000 back

However i never bet on my teams, its a double F*** you if it doesnt happen. I can only bet on teams i dont care about

[arash123]

It would be closer to Leicester numbers from a few years back realistically

[Hadi]

^ shouldn't be as low as that but 20-1 is possible for sure

LOL

leicster was 1000 to 1! Iran is like 10 to i at bookies to make it past group, some bookies have Iran at 6 to 1!

[ehsan singapore]

betting on iran is bad, we are emitional on iran

[koush22]

My regular betting side only giving 5.5:1 on Iran making it out of the group!

They are more confident about Iran than large portions of this forum!

^link?

if they only give 5.5:1, then what do they give on Spain and Portugal?

Spain to qualify from group- 1.06:1
Portugal to qualify from group- 1.15:1
Morocco to qualify from group- 5.25:1
Iran to qualify from group- 5.5:1

Just for reference, the other AFC teams:

Japan - 2.8:1
Korea - 3.15:1
SA - 7.5:1 (LOLOLOLOLOLOL)
Australia - 4:1

Realistically 30%.

[RaginG Inferno]

These guys reckon about 27%.

[inarsenewetrust]

Yeah 25%. Which is totally fair. Maybe even slightly lower. Obviously chances will change dramatically based on the first match, but with good preparation for that match, especially playing the likes of Algeria ( probably better than morocco), and Turkey, we will be ready.

im pleasantly shocked. our boys getting some respect.

I am watching some of Morocco’s games online, and I can see so many similarities with our TM. They have a strong back line, and have technical and quick counters. This will be an interesting match. A lot of the goals I see them score are from defensive mistakes, particularly from crosses and set pieces. If they can beat us, I think that will be their main tactic. They will have trouble passing it through us, but they may find success repeatedly crossing it to their athletic strikers hoping for a mistake. I really hope that Hosseini and Montazeri will be available for this match, as their experience will come in handy!

I can see why Morocco did not concede a goal though. African offense can lose its cutting edge in the final third of the field. There is a lot of zir-toop Aliasghari long balls and a lot of long shots. Iran’s goals tend to come in positions of 1 v. 1, while Morocco has less of those. I see that as good for us. If we frustrate them, they will push up and open up at the back a bit. The only thing I fear is them scoring first, as whoever scores first has a major advantage in this match.

Both teams have quality managers, and it will come down to who is the better tactician. I personally believe CQ will frustrate Morocco with stingy defense, and we will score one around 50-60th minute and take our second ever World Cup victory. I would put us at 55% favorites to their 45%. It is a very close matchup, but I think our coaching and close team bond and chemistry will be the decisive factor.
