that is exactly what i thought when i started reading this post.
Ideally, with the amount of football talent that exists among iranian people (women and men), we should be aiming for quarter finals after nearly a century of football. But not under this system and government.
At this level to qualify for the world cup is an achievement and wining a game is an ideal. Qualification for later rounds science-fiction.

I don't see it as all doom and gloom guys. Now I'm not saying Iran is going to advance to the 2nd round but I won't be completely shocked if they do. A very realistic situation might be a 2-0 loss to Argentina a 1-1 tie against Bosnia and a 2-1 or 1-0 win against Nigeria. Iran gets 4 points but it's not enough maybe Bosnia loses closer to Argentina like 2-1. After watching the Mexico game, I think clearly Bosnia is the 2nd best team in our group but after watching the USA Nigeria game, we are not the worst team in this group. If that result happens, we should b happy. After all I think only two teams overall in this world cup get paid less overall than Iran and those two are Concacaf teams.
Here u go Behrang. The exact type of delusional post you asked for. We are going to be the number one team in Asia in 1-2 years, we are going to qualify from the group, and our players are going to gain experience and come back and win the World Cup in four years 
lol

We have a lot of areas we can improve on but that's something everyone talks about day in and out. All I'm saying is for the next few days let's be positive. In a month we can all turn around and bitch about the lack of resources, mismanagement and everything else we know we have issues with.
So u're saying let's build up our hopes for no absolute reason, and let's expect the unexpected? Let's live in some fantasy world in the next few days? No thank u. This is the typical irani attitude. It's like attending an exam which you are probably going to fail, but u start giving halva sadaghe before just in the hope that some external force might help you through!
No thank u. I'd rather be realistic about the whole thing. If against all the odds we did well, then I will be jumping for joy. if we did as we are expected to do, then fine, after all, we've got the third least valuable team in the WC, so why should I pretend otherwise?

So you don't get labeled as "negative", "clinically depressed", and all sorts of different names by the Beshkano-Bala-Bendaz crowd.
Funny thing is, this crowd never learns from history. All facts, numbers, history, science, probability, logic and even fiction are in favor of the realist, but no, you're expected to just act like a drunken idiot who sees no wrong in pulling down his pants in the middle of an intersection expecting hot girls to uncontrollably want to put his salami in their mouths!

Thankfully this herd mentality doesn't apply to me. I'm not a sheep to just follow others blindly
I was telling someone yesterday that for the first time I ever remember, I am looking forward to the World Cup. I've always been worried about how England might do or how Iran might do in the past. But time round I have no hope for either and that actually means I can enjoy the games. There are some great games even in the first round in this World Cup, so really excited. I'm secretly hoping Belgium does well, as well as Brazil and possibly Ghana or Ivory Coast.
And I've got Uruguay in the work sweepstake. So come on Uruguay lol

This world cup is interesting as I think most people dont have an expectation for Iran. Yet, Iran has put together a good defense and with Dejagah and Gucci and hajsafi, and even Nekounam has good shooters that can take opportunities. And with Dejagah and Gucci who individually can create a goal without support.
Defend well and get the ball quickly to Dejagah and Gucci.
Can go either way.

I'm with you all the way except for me replace the country Italy with Germany that is the only difference although I don't think it will be all doom and gloom for Iran. I think the cards are stacked against them in advancing to the 2nd round but Iran is not going to get skunked we will get a W against Nigeria I can just feel it.
