UKRAINE VS SCOTLAND / WINNER VS WALES

[BacheLot]

Better outcome for TM.

indeed ... saw much of this game and regardless of an unlucky narrow defeat, Ukraine were the far superior side all around the pitch ..... !
we got lucky they didnt pull through cause not only they are a good football team they probably woulda gotten all the fan sympathies and ref calls against us at WC too..!!

only thing that coulda made it even better woulda been is the shitass scotish side woulda lucked theyre way to wc instead..!!

we certainly must beat the welsh to get outa group .... and they are very much beatable... lacking top quality all over the pitch ... that including their overrated captain g. bales...!!

Bale vs Hajsafi. The epic battle of the century.

Such a shame we have the worst combination of federation and sports ministry, management setup and coaching setup.

This could be a historic world-cup for Iran. Unless there's a miracle, all the alarm-buzzers are going off (based on previous experiences) that we will have a huge disappointment. Damn

Iran vs England
Iran vs Wales
Iran vs USA

But why is the UK allowed to put out 4 teams

4 teams, and its still not "coming home" 😅

And Iran has a good chance against the U.S, too. A tie against England will definitely provide the motivation to overcome the other two opponents, provided the federation does its job and sets up a few meaningful friendlies soon. We're behind the rest of the world in that department and need to catch up fast.

Im happy Wales made it over Ukraine, i see here much better chances

[Ghermez Agha]

I feel bad for Ukraine they definitely looked to be the better side in both matches they played but I think fitness and lack of playing was the difference for them today.

On a brighter note it’s finally a good piece of news for TM to have wales rather than Ukraine IMO for a lot of obvious reasons but honestly even from a purely footballing standpoint, I think Ukraine would have been trickier too.

Doesn’t mean wales will be easy though I think they’ll be very motivated……they are a super physical side and super organized. Skochee and co have their work cut out for them

[The Realist]

Hats off to Ukraine. They had to play away in front of two sets of partisan fans and they nearly pulled it off. Wales was hanging in there by the skin of their teeth!

I agree not that Wales are a small token and they too will fancy their chances against us but with Ukraine, world attentions would have been on fairy tale them. It would have added more political tension and from a footballing term I rate them higher than wales.

Another godsend for us.

Its like the universe really wants us to do this but our own federation cant be bothered

[nisfejahan]

Four countries with their own legal systems/jurisdictions and own parliaments.

Each US state also has its own senate and house. Each has their own legal infrastructure and laws as well.

[daggerhashimoto]

We can take Wales. Totally doable

I dunno man, this isn't a topic i particularly care for arguing about. Just that these states consider themselves separate countries and are treated as such within the greater umbrella UK nation.

I don't really care much about this, I don't think it will change either because the national pride for Rugby, Football and other sports is so big in each of the nations.

Lol. You should visit Texas, or Alabama.

the Two has been... most overrated and overplayed players from each side duking it out @ WC..!!

ps
first time seeing g. bales in action in many years.... no wonder the goozoo couldnt get off the bench at RM... and just milking his contract..!! he looked only a shadow of his Spur's days..!! :/
at least Ehsaan could have an excuse of too many miles on his old legs .... wonder what that goozoo Bales would have himself as an excuse when we beat their asss at WC..??

we probably coulda had a weaker pot 4 side than the welsh but as a whole Team they just dont look a very talent laden side and very much a beatable side, especially at gutter where i fathom most all European teams will struggle to play to their full potential....!
Today they had everything going for themselves from the extra rest, the much favorable/familiar with rainyass playing condition, the boisterous home crowd, the ref giving them most all 50/50 calls, and all they could muster was a lucky OG to squeeze out a lucky narrow win..!

the only thing sorely missing for us at this WC is King Carlos.... !! . i really feel like the very Well Organized, LowBlock, Defensive and counter attacking system of CQ woulda really suited to successful outings against all 3 sides in our group... especially so vs USA and Welsh... even the vastly overrated Brits..!!

it's a real shame that the goozoos running IFF are doing everything possible to ensure our eventual WC group demise and almost seems to be out to ensure we wouldnt play to our full potential and the way our WC Prep going so far, it seems much likely come back with max 1 point from this very winnable group..!!? :/

[Omids]

They are gonna give it to Ukraine It is obvious. Ukraine has to be in the WC because of the Russian invasion. Possibly some sort of compensation to both Scotland and Wales has already been made. I would place a bet on this. It would probably restore a micro-mil trust in FIFA for me if Wales qualifies and not Ukraine.

And? Not everything is a conspiracy...
