FIFA World Cup 2022 draw

[Ghermez Agha]

Doable for a Team Melli with players like Taremi, Azmoun, Ghoddos and Jahanbakhsh. The question if its doable for our Coach. Dragan Skocic.

Yup…if we had CQ coaching with this group I’d have all the confidence we’d get 4-7 points but with Skocic even 2-3 would be a miracle

[Bi-honar]

England, USA, Wales/Scotland/Ukraine! What a dream draw!

I think so too, especially if it end up being Scotland!

Just happy Canada & Iran didn't end up in the same group.

[diz]

Or Scotland

I hope Ukraine don’t qualify. Imagine Iran with 3 English speaking countries lol

Vee vill see you in "See Von"!

[inarsenewetrust]

its very doable... there can be no excuses. WE had group of death last time and group of life this time.

England ok of course a strong team, we will need to show huge improvements especially on fitness side of things to survive that and get a tie. AKA dragan get planning.

USA is the easiest draw we could have gotten from pot 2. This team just lost to costa rica u23, had trouble with likes of canada throughout qualifying. They play a naive brand of football and despite some talented individuals they managed to hire a coach with worse resume/technical savvy than our own skocic.

And the Wales/Scotland/Ukraine scenarios are all ok. All weaker than morocco side we defeated in 2018.

[Kian Persepolis]

yea .... if we get Wales/ next scotland ..!!
but scotland will be a challenge ... but likely to take points of English due to familiarities with English and rivalries...!

worst would be Ukraine imo, on one hand the country and league is in a cluster fk but on other hand they are a solid footballing nation which will be out highly motivated to make their people happy and getting massive sympathy fandom behind them from the world wide audience..!!

Ukraine would probably have refs on their side too, considering the worldwide sympathies you mentioned

[PrinceAli]

I wanna hear our players swearing at the other teams in english

I’m prepared for Taremi calling Maguire “estupid” in his soft toned voice lmao

Unbelievable draw, we get both England and USMNT, what are the chances?

From a pure footballing perspective, it's a very good draw for TM.

England is very over-rated and we just need to contain Kane. I actually really like how Kanani matches up against Kane (not joking either). England panics so if the game is 0-0 by the 60th minute, anything is possible.

USMNT is also crap. If there's one coach worse than Skocic in the WC, it's Berhalter. They have good players all over EU but don't play well as a team. Outside of US soil, they are very average.

I don't love the Pot 4 team, but given the other two teams, we'll take it.

امریکا از انگلیس بدتر، انگلیس از امریکا بدتر، شوروى؟ اکراین سابق از هر دو بدتر. همه از هم بدتر؛ همه از هم پلیدتر
This will become IR's motivational line in the next few months. Why it is a problem to have two team from Asia or Africa in the same group while it is ok to have two team from the same political entity (Wales, Scotland) in the same group as England? We should give autonomy (only in Foootball) to Khouzestan and Azarbaijan and have three three team from Iran qualify for WC 2040

[Kian Persepolis]

They did a mistake. Australia/UAE can't be in the same group as Japan. WTF??

No, that group will contain one between New Zealand or Costa Rica.

The other playoff spot will have the winner of Australia/UAE vs Peru

[daggerhashimoto]

dude, honestly if CQ was in charge we would be parking the bus all game.

Last time we had the group of death on paper. But both Spain&Portugal couldn't make it out of the Round of last 16 loosing to Russia and Uruguay! This time the group looks much weaker ON PAPER but beside England , USA have a strong Team. Scotland/Wales/Ukraine are all dangerous to play, specially Ukraine.

[Omids]

Great draw for iran, doable with an experienced coach, it will be a waste if we dont make it out of this group.

[naderb94]

I was really hoping NZ/Costa Rica would've fallen to us but not possible with Costa Rica/USA in the same region.

[Soosk]

This was an amazing draw for us. I literally had England/USA/Iran/X as one of my most wished for groups. I think if we had got Ghana and even Cameroon that might have made our draw even better but the winner of the European playoffs is likely at the same level as these two African teams so the difference is not much.

One thing that I want to point out about this draw that can be a positive factor for team meli is that there are geopolitical implications to these matches against England and the US. I think joomhoorieh islami will want to avoid losing or having bad results against two countries it call sheytooneh bozorg and sheytooneh kochik. So I think the government will be more inclined to provide resource for team meli for this World Cup in order to avoid embarrassing results against teams that have geopolitical implications.

Overall I think this is nearly a perfect draw. If Scotland ends up being the 4th team then I think it will literally be the best draw we could have hoped for.

Finally, if we get out of the group stage, we will face one of the teams in Group A which is by far the weakest group. The only good team in group A that would be favourites against Iran is the Netherlands. And I know I am getting ahead of myself but if we can get out of the group stage, our round of 16 match up could be very beatable.

[daggerhashimoto]

when do we know the 4th team? Today?
