Ziyech will be opposed to your left back

Our left back Pouladi is even better

Hey, Nabil Dirar is going to miss Iran match?

How important is he to your squad?

Don't know yet, he hasn't played the first 2 friendly games because he's not 100%. He is important, he's athletic, good crosser but with the emergence of Hakimi, his absence won't be as detrimental as it could have been.

If he doesn't appear saturday againt Estonia, it would mean that he won't be ready for Iran.

Ziyech is on fire right now. I'm confident he'll be our best player and will deliver. Let's see after the game how he did agaisnt your defense.

No way he can get past Pouladi. Pouladi is joining Barcelona after the World Cup probably. Also, if Pouladi doesn't play, we have Ali Badavi as backup. He will slap Ziyech.

Not true. Barcelona is desperate to sign Mendyl as a leftback.

Hossein Mahini has the best crosses in the world.

I would worry about Nabil Dirars injury. Our winger Javad Kazemian will run riot.

There are rumours that Messi is going to Man City because he is being pushed out by a young and rising Rasoul Khatibi

[DR Strangemoosh]

LOOOL you guys... Bichareh our moroccan friends.

Seriously though, look out for up-and-coming starlet Kaabi. He will be huge in about 10-15 years time.

And don't forget about our amazing computer analyst Afshin Ghotbi who knows the Moroccan team as the palm of his hands because he used to coach a Moroccan girls highschool team in the US.

Marouane, I can assure you and all fans around the world that this WC Iran will not be playing a defensive game.
Not even against Spain or Portugal.

Iran played a counter attacking game in Brazil because it lacked quality strikers with international experience.
Iran's strength in 2014 was in the Midfield and mostly in DMs. Hence, the style of their play in that WC.

But 4 years later and in 2018, Iran's main source of power and experience is in the attacking midfielders and strikers.
It's therefore imperative for Iran to play an attacking game if they want to use their full potential and utilize their greatest
assets on their roster. I would not be surprised in the first match against Morocco to see Iran play with no DMs at all since
their best DM is suspended. The first match will be a shoot out and whoever can score more will win, that is if Morocco comes
to play and not defend.

Hello Marouane, how are you?
It is a fifty fifty situation for both sides indeed. Morocco's advantages lies on the fact that they have enough players playing in the top European clubs, and also they have had better friendly games than Iran. Iran's advantages lies on the experience of having been in the last world cup with the same head coach and being familiar with African football in general for having coached South Africa in the past.

No, he will not miss the Iran. He had a pulled muscle in his thigh & the coach didn't want to risk him in the friendlies

You guys should just worry about your keeper, after our striker, Ali Parvin is done with him.

Ali is notorious for injuring goalkeepers, especially after a meal of Kaleh Pache (also the name of our Right Back)

good thread

I just watched Morocco-Slovakia highlights. Good game. Nice goals. I am looking forward to the match. My observations from this game are that morocco are a lot more in sync than our boys, They press well up high, but they can be scored on and we have more than enough firepower to score on Morocco. The thing with Carlos Queiroz is that he never shows his cards. I have been a die hard fan of TM for decades and I honestly don't know who is going to play in our Morocco game. 50% of the lineup is unknown to me. I can only say that azmoun, jahanbakhsh, milad, hajsafi ashkan will play. I do not know who our cb duo will be, I am not sure who our rb will be. Not sure who our DM will be. Not sure who our LW or gk is going to be. GK is either beiranvand or abedzadeh.
