Don't listen to these people. I think anything is possible. Although I honestly don't think they can get the cup since there are so many other great teams out there. But I think they will definitly make it to higher rounds,  even though they lost from Mexico :(\n\nGO IRAN :)

yes but it is in a sad state...not even fielding a team for the doha asian games is a disgrace,,,,,those are decent players but hardly capable of being competitive with many other countries in asia let alone the world

they should fare well.  Korea has a pretty good team, as well as Iran.  I would say that Korea would go the farthest of all of them

IRAN. \nThe stares of Persia qualified for world cup only in 3 times from Asian zone.\n1st time: 1978 Argentina\n2nd Time: 1998 France\n3rd Time: 2006 Germany\nThey still hope to advance to the round of 16 in this world cup.\n\nIranian national team is actually one of the best teams of Asian zone. in Coca-cola/Fifa Ranking they are in 23rd place and they are the second best team of Asia after japan and before Korea and KSA.\n\nthey are winner  of ASIAN CUP for 3 times, The winner of gold medal in football is Asian games for 4 times, The Champion of The 3rd place of Asian cup for 3 times.\n\nin 1974 Argentina they had 2 lost from Netherlands and Peru and 1 drawn with Scotland.\nin 1998 they won USA 2-1 and beaten up by Germany (2-0) and Yugoslavia (1-0).\nin 2006 in the first match they beated up by Mexico (3-1) with two individual mistakes of Iranian players.\n\nThe Iranian people believe that this is the order of the AHURA (the name that ancient Iranians before Islam named for GOD) that Iran is the champion and winner forever.

they are a big source of stigma and scandal for asian football. 2002 debacle in their one-sided match againt the runners-up germany still looms large again in this world cup..they are not made to play football but to drink oil and enjoy themselves.

My answer is not all of the Asian country still not develop but some of them. The team which was built their name in this industry is Japan, South KOrea, China, Iran and Thailand. But the others team is still on the way to built up. But we must know that the football is not can develop only by money. It is by our passion to built up what we want. Like example for the country which have the pro-spec to be the one of the known football team is Malaysia. Do we?But some of people ask that when Malaysia to be the one of the world cup candidate. The answer is don't know, ask the FAM.The one thing that we always seen or heard in the football scenario is about money.Some of the player think about money not their career to be a good footballer.Like in  REal Madrid team, the players was have salaries around hundred thousand for two weeks. But in this season there not win any cup for this season. So that is the point that what I like to say.So, for the Asian countries team dont said not have money to built up the country.It only the passion and love  of football. See ya in the coming World Cup..2010

Brazil is the strongest candidate by far. The only team in position to stop them -as it happened historically- is Argentina. However, Argentines should be quite inspired to make such an achievement (as they did in Buenos Aires in the last qualifiers match), shouldn't this be the case they will face the same fate they experienced in the Federations Cup last year in Germany.

It's not as easy as you might think. I think Japan is the best Asian team in the World Cup and has a strong midfield which contains the 2 -time Asain player of the year \nHidetoshi Nakata(Bolton)and Celtic star Shunsuke Nakamura.\nThey also have Mitsuo Oqasawara as a set-piece master. Forwards like Yanagisawa and Takahura will also cause problems for the other defenses.Australia is also a very strong team with Liverpool's star midfielder Harry Kewell,\nEverton's own Tim Cahill, and Boro's striker Viduka and goalkeeper Schwarzer. The also have young talent in Craig Moore on defense.And don't count out Croatia with Dado Prso running up top. This might actually be one of the toughest groups!!!

I think Korea stand a good chance of topping Group G actually and making it to the round of 16. If they can defeat Switzerland in the final match of their group, then they are guaranteed the top spot. They're in a dangerous position though, because if they draw with Switzerland and France win their match against Togo (as I imagine most people would expect them to) then Korea will be just edged out by the Swiss on goal difference. I think that there's pretty much no hope for Saudi Arabia or Japan now, as they need big victories over Spain and Brazil respectively if they are going to qualify for the next round. Obviously, Iran are already out.
