I hope:

4. Maldives
5. Guam

We will win all! Last time we played 19:0 Guam and Maldives 17:0 we won. If we get even Afghanistan we will win easy

This would be amazing, not only from the ease of the group, but for avoiding corrupt federations who can influence the outcome of the games

Iran, Vietnam, India, Turkmenistan, Guam would be good.


Vietnam and Turkmenistan will keep us sharp, Guam and India will allow us to test different line ups while being decent football associations. I really liked Vietnam in the Asian Cup, quality side and didn't play dirty. Turkmenistan has been decent when we've played them. Guam will be good for testing young players, India will be good for players who are breaking into the main squad.

[naderb94]

I've always wondered what our players preferred in these kind of groups.
Some may say the Arab teams because it's closer to home but some may not like them because of how dirty and tough they play.

I would like us to play more East Asian teams like Vietnam, Chinese Taipai, Hong Kong, etc so our players can get some exposure to new cultures and places

[perspolis#1]

I actually don't want Guam. American owned. There's room for Trump or whoever to deny visas to our players like they did last time.

Iran, Vietnam, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Bangladesh.

On an unrelated note I would also like the following group:

Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Palestine, Malaysia, Indonesia

[Payam_Ali]

Everyone here wants an easy group. I understand why. But does anyone think a tougher group might be better to make sure we test our athletes/formations/lineups in preparation for future matches?

[Ghermez Agha]

Am I the only one that wants a tough group? give us the toughest possible one!

In the next round Final quielers we will got tougher*teams

[sam20]

In the next round Final quielers we will got tougher*teams

Yeah but he means we should prep for those tougher teams with some tough opponents now, which I agree with.

[perspolis#1]

I wouldnt mind the following group either:

Iran, Uzbekistan, Thailand, Turkmenistan, Bangladesh. Thats a tough group and we'd be ready for next round.

[Philosophy_King]

That Group would be my favorite one:

1. Iran
2. Iraq (need to put them on their place)
3 Philippines
4. Myanmar
5. Cambodia

I choose Philippines, Myanmar and Cambodia since we haven't played them at all or very rarely. Its always great to face new opponents, increase Experience by facing new challenges and get to know more about the variety of Asian Football Culture.
