Some of you confuse better and more entertaining. Not the same. True that watching Costa Rica may be more entertaining than CQ's version of Iran but it doesn't mean they are better or stronger than us. We are at the moment better than all Asian teams / on par or VERY CLOSE to CONCACAF and African teams.

Nader jan, I'd like to see the day when we are on par with the likes of Nigeria, Senegal, Tunisia, Egypt or Mexico. Until that day, I can only hope you are right! :)

True. We beat a version of the Panamanian team that will most likely very much differ in the World Cup. The same is not true about Iran.
Same for TM. Iran also rested 5-6 regulars in this match(Jalal, Milad, Sardar, JB, Hajsafi, Rezaeian) from the start.

All of you, concerning the weak level of TM
Wondering how strong this Algerian team is dealing with this hot-headed coach in the locker room?
Must be a fake journalist he fighting!

I go for;
BELGIUM
COLOMBIA
IRAN
NIGERIA

Would be nice seeing TM playing the final game in WC Russia 2018, I voted "Final"!

and we have 50% chance of getting either Nigeria or Serbia! Damn!!!
I'm not concerned about any of Irans 4 possible pot 4 opponents options.
Just bc Argentina played bullshit against Nigeria, doesnt make them strong. Iran will NEVER defend sloppy like that.
And Serbia is not a top team either. Goal behind Serbs start fighting each other on the pitch.

iran has a lower probability of getting serbia than
the other teams.that's because if iran gets 2 euro
teams from pots 1&2 in their group then serbia is
automatically ruled out.

What I like about Serbia is their unpredictability. They are just as likely to crumble under pressure and do something incredibly stupid like get a red card for a hand ball. Unfortunately, they are the strongest of the four teams we could play. I rather we play Panama.

With the shitty luck that we usually have, I'm going with the group of death: iran,france,espana,Nigeria
the only consolation is I'm 99.99% of time wrong anyways :)

Found it! It's from minute 19:50. :)

Daei and Mahdavikia will be representing Iran at the ceremony, in addition to CQ and someone from IFF (probably Saket).
