Looks like they sat a bunch of prominent guys like Mata/Morata. I think Morata will def be in the final 23 for Spain but they were excluded to cement the final roster spots.
Sergio Busquets is injured for 3 weeks.
God help us if Diego Costa plays against us.. I can see Ezzatollahi/Rezaian/Azmoun/Taremi about to fight him.Comment

Not our group related, but just seen Russia's first choice center backs and first choice forward (Kokorin) are all OUT of WC due to having done their ACL in the last 6 weeks....wow
I really hope we don't get any injuries of that sort. Anything at this stage is dangerous. Even likes of Kane and Neymar I don't see risking themselves for clubs anymore this season, because of chance of a refracture and missing the WCComment

"Portugal suffer dual injury blow ahead of Egypt clash
Portugal will play two friendlies in Switzerland, first against Egypt on March 23, four days before facing off against the Netherlands, as they tune up to take part in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Sporting full back Fabio Coentrao and Benfica defender Ruben Dias have left the Portuguese national team camp with injuries and were replaced by Luis Neto (Fenerbahce) and Mario Rui (Napoli), the Portuguese football federation has announced.
Coentrao has been struggling with tight muscle discomfort that has limited his abilities, according to the federation, despite having passed the tests administered to him without any problems, reports Efe.
Dias, a sensation this season at just 20 years old, was excluded from what was going to be his first international camp with ankle problems."

Do you guys think Ramadan will affect how Morocco plays since it ends one day before our game? This might affect their training tactics.
Most of TM players don't participate in Ramadan.Comment

Most Muslim countries get a akhound to exempt their national team players from fasting. Its how Iran's national team has gotten around it many times.Originally posted by naderb94 View Post
However, there always players who will fast, even if not forced to.

Travelers who are in one city for 10 days have to fast. However, I doubt that any players will be in one city continously for that long. If they are, all the teams have to do is drive or take the train out of a city (takes about an hour).Originally posted by Nokhodi View Post
And I want to clarify that it's not bringing in an akhoond but is instead in the rules of Islam. If you're traveling for 9 days, you can't fast until you get back to your home city or until you stay (or plan to stay) in one city for 10 days or more.Comment

I gotta say this might have been the hardest group Iran has is history. Morocco has gotten better players sense they saw this group and so have we but not as much as them. Sense Morocco’s five games they have not lost 1. In Iran’s hole 2017 to 2018 season have not lost yet. Morocco has 2 really good defenders Benatia who plays for Juventus and Hakimi who plays for Real Madrid. If Khanzadeh, Gholizadeh, Rezaei, and Alipour stay like they are right now they will probably come to the World Cup. But Morocco’s players are not to old as Iran’s players, so that makes Morocco have faster runs. Iran has to get more youngsters. Spain has been pretty good too as Iran they have not lost any from 2017 to 2018 season. Spain knows that they are gonna get out of the group so they are not really bringing that many youngsters. The only ones that they just brought are good are Deulofeu, Morata, Rodrigo, Aspas, and Costa. Portugal was not as good as Iran and Spain Portugal lost 4 times in 2017 to 2018. Portugal’s best players have been Goncalo Guedes, André Silva, and of course Cristiano Ronaldo
So the lineup vs Morocco the formation should be 4-1-3-2
I would say the goalkeeper should be Beiranvand so others will not bet tired vs Portugal and Spain
I would say the defenders should be Aghaei as left back so Mohammadi will not be tired Two Center backs should be Jalal Hossein and Pouraliganji and Right Back should be Ghafouri so Beitashour will not be tired and Rezaeian is gnat good anymore
I would say the defensive mid should be Noorafkan
I would say the right mid should be Torabi, attacking mid should be Shojaei, and left mid should be Dejagah if he will be out of injury.
I would say the forwards will be Azmoun and Taremi
Now we are vs Spain and I think the formation should be 4-1–3-2
I think the goalkeeper should be Hossein Hosseini because this might be the hardest game.
I think the left back should be Milad Mohammadi, center backs should be Khanzadeh and Cheshmi and the right back should be Beitashour
I think the defensive mid should be Ebrahimi
I think the right mid should be Jahanbaksh, and the attacking mid should be Ghoddos, and the left mid should be Amiri
I think the forwards should be Rezaei and Alipour
If you wondering why I did not put Azmoun he only scored 1 goal for Rubin Kazan
The formation vs Portugal will be 4-1-3-2
The goalkeeper will be Hossein Hosseini
The left back should be Aghaei and the center backs should be Khanzadeh and Pouraliganji and the right back should be Ghafouri
The defensive mid should be Ebrahimi
The right mid should be Alipour and attacking mid should be Karimi and the left mid should be Gholizadeh
The forwards should be Rezaei and Azmoun
