Morocco Word Cup Squad

[JamB]

Azmoun, Baksh, Ghoddos, Taremi, Dejagah>>> moroccos team. sorry not sorry.

We need to be very careful on defending set pieces. Their defenders are very tall, they are actually taller than ours (Benatia, DaCosta, Saiss and Dirar are all 6'2 or taller while PG and Hosseini are 6', Montazeri is 6'1), and Ziyech is a great free kick and corner taker. If we can somehow avoid them getting a lot of set pieces, I think we will have a good result.

There is not a defender on earth that can keep Azmoun's head off the ball. I don't care how tall they are.

How tf doesnt Harit start. The kid is a beast. But hey thats fine with me

He just started playing with the NT in October 2017 so he isn't a starter yet bur he is the 12th player, he'll bt the first coming from the bench especially if we need to score.

[Moroccan Expert]

It's a squad of bench players in European teams with the exception of Benatia, Ziyech and Belhanda. I think we match up well against them man for man and have a good chance but I am hoping we can get the defensive midfield issue resolved (goddamn ezatollahi) because their attacking midfield seems to be their strength.

No, Dirar, Saiss, El Ahmadi, Amrabat and Boutaib are also regular starers in their clubs, not bench players.

I'm not worried about our attacking abilities in the air as I am fully aware of how good Azmoun is in that department. I was talking about on the defensive end because Benatia is definitely going to go for goal from set pieces. He scored two goals recently in the Italian Cup final from corners. We have to be very careful defending set pieces and to ensure we don't give too many away.

So Portugals worst players Gomes, Eder and Sanches are not part of the team? Why are we always so unlucky???

Surprised Andre Silva made the squad. He's had a terrible season - and especially looked out of his depths in the two matches against Arsenal.

Our right and left wings as well as our forwards are great. Our defense can hold it against Morocco but our MFs are in question. Deja is coming out of injury, Shojai is also coming from injury, Saeed can not play the first match and we are left with useless Ebrahimi and an experimental Cheshmi. Our DM line is in big trouble. Only if Deja pulls things together and Nourafkan or Cheshmi can step up their game we can have a chance in the middle, against Morocco, for Portugal we have Saeed. Saeed, Deja and Hajisafi are not a bad MF combination.

Both Hosseini and PAG are very athletic CBs and have no problem beating much taller players than them. As long as a team doesnt have a guy like Zlatan we will be fine.

Benatia is also pretty slow and 100% will get burned by any of our forwards if he makes a mistake, its the reason bayern didnt want him anymore.

Azmoun like others have mentioned is playing in the RPL and the majority of the CBs there are huge, normally 6'2-6'6, cesar Navas or Miha Mevlija are good examples.

I think the biggest problem with teams like Morocco is how dirty they play, especially if they are anything like Algeria or Tunisia our players will prevail if they keep their heads cool.

I think our Fullbacks will deal with the wide threat well, we just need to sort out the problem in the MF

Welcome to the forum!

An aside to my fellow Iranians,

HOW THE HELL DO YOU QUESTION OUR PACE DOWN THE LEFT SIDE? ALLAH O AKBAR MOHAMMADI RAHBAR

[Leicester City]

Not really. There wasn't any doubt about the starters. For the bench players, some fans complain that so and so are not called but no big controversy.

Do you think Iran is going to beat Morocco?

[sirvan]

Morocco has a strong squad. Wish them the best of luck against Spain and Portugal. If we play our best game we can get 3 points against the Moroccans.

[saeed_noro]

To be honest, from paper, the iran morocco match is a real fifty fifty match. most predictable is a DRAW in my eyes. i hope we can get the three points, because we really can get them. who will be lucky on june 15 will win the match....will be a very close match i guess. but i give iran 51%.

[ehsan singapore]

Is a tight game but it come down who want it more and I feel with cq we will want it more and we will win
