Group G Thread - England, Panama, Tunisia, Belgium

[kastro]

You are joking right? Urugay win with a late goal against Egypt
without Salah, they defeat KSA with just one goal and didnt
peform very dominant.
I am telling you sth. else: Marocco, Spain and Portugal would have
easily finished group A as first winning all matches (the toughest one
would be against russia).

You realize we've beaten Morocco already recently in a competitive match? We eliminated them in the semis of the ACN.

A team with Godin. Jimenez, Cavani, Suarez are no joke. They can beat both Spain and Portugal.

Guys how do you think TM would stack up against this Belgium team ??

[Kian Persepolis]

Africa is similar. Some pitches that you play on shouldn't even be considered pitches.

Our manager started a striker in the WC who plays in Egypt and has 2 goals since 2016.

The 2 other stikers - one plays for Braga and other has 30+ goals in Egypt since 2016 were both injured. We even have a 19 year old that should have been starting as he also has more goals for the same club despite being at the club for only a few months. Our best creative midfielder which everything goes through (next to Elneny) was injured and missed the WC. Our best winger after Salah has been injured all season and missed the WC since he was required to have surgery.

Who's Iran's 4th choice striker? Thats essentially what we have at the moment starting.

The manager is getting killed for this right now and he'll surely get sacked.

That happens in Asia as well. Check out this pitch in the first leg of Iran vs Syria during qualifiers:

Arabs are out of World Cup after 2 rounds?

Good! Now we can watch some real football.

Come on they barely beat a weak Saudi team, now you think they can beat Spain and Portugal ??

[kastro]

Im still waiting on your answer about this disaster results

Those were with domestic players. No European players.

No offense but Iran has lost to some second rate African teams like Mali and Guinea. That goes to show how friendlies aren't taken seriously.

You realize we have 7 African cups.

Go and ask everyone in egypt if they would rather have
Uruguay or Spian/Portugal in their group.

Egypt is out and peformed very poor my friend. Maybe they will do better
next time arround. The strongest african Teams are Marocco and than
Senagal.

[GolfePersique]

Come on guys, we have respectable Arab members on this forum.

Better to focus on our own team!

All For Team Melli!

[Sam van Dam]

Iran faces sanctions, Egypt doesn’t. We had to buy our jerseys while adidas sponsored you guys. Your excuse is that salah isn’t fit, well neither is dejagah, our best player. We also missed ezzatolahi vs Morocco and still won. Don’t understand how Egypt can win 7 titles in Africa but qualifying for WC is nearly impossible for you guys. You have players in top leagues while we don’t because nobody wants our players, yet we are still alive in the group of death, while you died in the group of life

Come on bro, Uruguay has looked pretty weak! They have Suarez and Cavani, but even Saudis had their chances vs. them. To also saw Spain has looked vulnerable is not true - they have looked exceptional. Outside the Rolando free kick, they got a goalie mistake and penalty scored against them. Ronaldo had an all-time great game against them - one of the best individual games ever at the World Cup.

Our groups cannot be compared, be fair. We are in a much, much harder group. Also, Morocco was touted by all African pundits to be the best African team coming into the world cup. Everyone said it's very, very difficult to score against them. No one said this about Egypt, even with Salah.

And to say Egypt would make it out every time out of Asia is not fair. So far, we have seen this world cup, there is not much difference between Asian and African teams and as a matter of fact, Asian teams have looked better.

We also deal with a lot of political backlash and blowback from stupid policies of Islamic Republic government that really, no team outside maybe North Korea, faces. We have worked hard bro.

The point though - is some members really want bad for Arab teams. As we mentioned pages ago, you cannot even really say Egypt and Morocco are Arab teams. They have own unique culture and history. Egypt has a glorious history. Just remember, most of this anti-Arab hate has to do with dealing with Saudis and Iraqis, that's why it's there. Has nothing to do with Egypt and Morocco, but unfortunately, some are not thinking straight and equating the two.

You have undoubtedly one of the best 5 players in the world in Salah. We have never had a player of his stature. So enjoy it bro and you guys will be back stronger! Ramos is a piece of shit as is Diego Costa, we saw that in the game vs. Iran. Ramos ruined your chance.

[beevee]

I just checked and Saudi Arabia have an all-time winning record versus Iran? How have you lost to Saudi Arabia 6 times?

5 of 6 times times was during or right after the war years and football not being played for 7 years.

Why are you lying for you played with your first team against kuwait ! Kuwaittttt

https://uk.soccerway.com/matches/201...egypt/2753949/

also about teams like Mali . You have lost 4 times and won 4 times against them ! so I have no idea What are you talking about!

We have beaten other teams like Ghana , Angola , Algeria , Kenya , Zambia , Libya , morocco etc...

But you guys could never win against top asian teams like Japan , Iran , south korea (7 loses and 5 wins)

[beevee]

Guys friendly results mean nothing.
We've all seen it in this world cup. Look at Russia's friendly results. Does it reflect their current performance?

What performance? Saudi holes? And Egypt? Let them beat somebody first then we'll talk performance.

I think Uruguay just greatly underestimated Saudi Arabia because of the Russia game - however they're extremely hard to break down. I never said we had a tougher group. Our ACN group was probably tougher in fact and I know group B was more difficult. I can definitely see Uruguay beating Portugal though. Besides Bernardo Silva and Ronaldo, they're pretty regular. Carvalho has impressed too but we'll see what happens.

When we get a new attacking manager with our returning injured players, we're going to be much better off.
