World Cup 2022 Qualifier: Korea Republic - Iran (Info, Updates & Live Reports)

[Soosk]

This is a must win game for us. We need the ranking points and if we do not get a win here it is virtually impossible to end up in pot 2 for the world cup draw.

Korea Republic is THE HOT SPOT of COVID-19 worldwide right now with average daily cases of 404K and 279 deaths per day (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...vid-cases.html, https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html). I hope no fans are allowed in the stadium on Thursday. Our TM players and staff should be very careful.

Go TM!

Flu season begins next autumn buddy, no need to worry 😂👍🏽 Only thing fully blown out here is people‘s minds being hypnotised by their tv screens and the mass propaganda running 24/7

happy new year mbaizai jan
s.k are planing a$$ whoop the tm
since its perfect time to do it
being qualified already there is little intensity
will not be there for this match and if we play all
out to win for pot b and play attacking football against them their speed can punish us in front sell out crowed.
problem is fans expectations are high.

[Nokhodi]

Not looking forward to this game. Taremi and Azmoun making very long flights from Europe tonight. Ghodoos put. Ezatollahi suspended. JB and Gholi in poor form. Defense Swiss cheese. Won’t be a fun game.

[Keshwardoost]

^ its niice that we are qualifyed already. Now new players can step up and take their chance.. but yeah if we had a must win game id be worried. I hope we win, its not impossible at all, and keep the possibility of pot 2 alive.
But its no disaster if we draw away in korea.. eaven if we miss pot 2 still happy we made the world cup since our position after wilshmotz.. pot 2 is a bonus.. still have a feeling we can make it since not that impressed by korea in final part of the pitch.

Hope we win, think we have an ok chance, 35%win 40% draw 25% lose, is my feeling. It all comes down to what tactics Sko goes by

mamnoon kateb jan. Happy nowruz too. And I agree with you as always.

[Nokhodi]

Now no Taremi either, unless he tests positive negative tomorrow but at that point I’m not sure South Korea would allow entry !

[Medzdidz]

Honestly with all this happening I’d be happy with a point. What it does do is give some of the fringe players a chance to make a name for themselves.

Guessing it will be Azmoun and Karim up front then. I can’t see Allahyar playing - can’t remember the last time he played the full 90. Azmoun can’t see playing both of the games whole either. I wonder if we call up anyone to replace Saman and Taremi.

[Keshwardoost]

I guess we have been talking about testing our players that isnt usualy playing, against good opposition to se what they go for, so now we get it, its going to be interesting!
The question is, who will Skocic call up for Mehdi? think coach is allowed to fill spots for those with covid, so express flight for Mohebi? or will he go local pgpl or bring in Ghaedi?

Game with Ghoddos, someone have to fill that spot.

think its injured players that cant be replaced but the covids just pick new players.. so big Q is, has Sko and staff prepared a reserve list and have them on standby to fly in, covidtested and all prepared? or does he have to make late night calls to se whats up and hope that they pick up the phone
