What would be the best final round WCQ group for Iran

[KeonKish]

To me there is a very clear weaker team in each pot - the ideal group is:

Iran
Australia
UAE
China
Oman
Vietnam

I agree with this 100% I dont see any of UAE China Oman or Vietnam causing us any serious issues at all, and I rate us against australia as well.

What's the point having these competitive "friendlies" if we don't qualify for wc at the end?

I think that's why our opinions differ. I think someone mentioned it before with Skocic we're pretty safe to qualify but unlikley to get the to knockout stage of the world cup as his strong point is that he knows Asian football enough to negate any threats from Asian teams (as we saw with Bahrain and Iraq), and I whole heartedly agree with that. With Qatar already qualified I don't really see any team aside from Japan, Korea or Australia being a threat. We can't get drawn with Japan so in our group there will be 1 team that we could lose to over both legs (even though I doubt it). I know you'll mention the incomptence of the IFF as a potential source for our downfall, which is worth mentioning, but I personally think this kind of corruption/self debilitating favourtism exists in the majority of teams to the same degree and perhaps only to a lesser extent in Korea/Australia/UAE. Not an excuse for it of course, but the standard of football and professionalism in our continent is not very high as a whole; not just in Iran.

Here is mine.

Iran
Australia
Iraq
China
Oman
Vietnam

The draw will be on June 24th

This would be a good group for us.
We have broken the curse of not beating the Arab Teams away.

I love to see us play against Australia, This would be a good preparation for the World Cup for us.
The only problem is the long travel with games being spaced one week apart

Uae is very strong if they are anything like they showed back in 2019 ac, which they where really scary good and they moved up in the seeding as well and if the games are in one nation good chance they host and they will spend money and money to have weaker teams help them qualify since the wc is right next door and they want be there as much as the ksa.
BUT BETWEEN UAE and ksa i take uae in our group .

yes UAE is much better now, especially with Lima. also the remaining games could be in UAE as a "neutral" host as well. I rather not draw them but between them and Saudi I guess we gotta take uae

[Kavian]

I am going with the theory of "less arab the better", "Let's give it to MBS" , "Tired of Korean b.s.", and "Don't mind the Omanis"

The other consideration is which arab country will be hosting all of Iran's home games.. Saudi?

Iran
Australia
Saudi Arabia
China
Oman
Vietnam

[AMIRHOUSHANG]

This would be ideal. I would like to see us crap all over SA and eliminate them from the WC finals.

Iran
Australia
Saudi Arabia
China
Oman
Vietnam

[M.U.F.C]

I just want Australia and UAE from pots 2 and 3. Regard pots 4, 5, and 6, It really does not matter to me.

Australia coach
Which was involved in the 97 match with iran
DID A MASSIVE KOOOR KOORI on possible match up with iran
Should check it out on v3.

[khodam]

Iran is not the same as in 1998. We will mop the floor with them (assuming we have the right coaching).

I checked it. It should not matter to us what others say about us. What should matter to us is improvement. We should focus on improvement. I want to be drawn with Australia from pot 2 because we have not played with them since 1997. I also want us play UAE from pot 3. Regard pots 4, 5, and 6, It really does not matter to me.
