this is so last week but ok, I will refresh your mind. First, Iran didn't play their best, second, luck played no part in this game, \n3 - 1 doesn't seem like luck to me. Lastly, Mexico has been around way more than Iran. We beat Brazil last year in Copa Confederaciones and some of the players play with European teams. Iran is not bad but you cant expect them to win the cup anyway. Sorry.

It's Bayern Munich's Karimi. He's awesome, hopefully he'll get back in shape after his injury. he's been out of commission for a few weeks. Also, it's too bad Iran doesn't have many other players that can help Karimi out. It's gonna be too bad for Iran in the WC cuz Karimi has to carry that team on his shoulders. It may be enough to beat unprepared teams, but I don't think he will be enough to beat Mexico nor Portugal.

Are you watching the world cup because Iran didn't make the final 16 and in group D where Iran is it has the least point.

This match is going to go either way but i think Iran stands a good chance.They have a strong deffence a working midfield and a sharp forwardline they play total football while Mexico is full of good players but they play individual game and so the team plays school football which make it hard to win games.

I am Croatian and I actually watched the whole game, Iran scored 2 goals out of two shoots on goal and one terrible mistake  from Croatian defense. Croatia dominated whole game but it could have been worse since Croatian ref extended the game 5 min for Croatia to tie the game in injury time.

I'd advise you to keep an eye on Iran.  Success at the World Cup is about passion.  Look at France and Argentina in 2002.  Neither advanced beyond the group stage because they didn't play with a desire to win, but with the expectation that they would win.  Iran has a decent team in a difficult group with Mexico and Portugal.  If Iran advances out of that group, it will be because of their players' hearts and desire to win for their country, not necessarily because they are better than Mexico or Portugal.  Think about the political situation in Iran right now.  The people are besieged with pressure from the West and the government censors so much of the Western media.  The people's outlet is soccer, and the Iranian team's players know that.  Assuming that Iran advances into the Round of 16, they will have momentum and confidence and can win at least one elimination game.  They may even be able to give their Round of 8 opponent a difficult time, as the US did against Germany in 2002.  That would be a significant achievement for a team that has only been to the finals 3 times, and it could start Iran on the road to regular qualifications in the future.  That's the meaning of breakout.

if someone can do something for Iran team,he would be Ali Karimi,he is a great player&he is good enough to do many thing for Iran.

Some dodgy defending and mis-understanding between goalkeeper and defender!\nThat was Iran's 'secret weapon'.

In my opinion they have very slim chances of even going to the playoffs, considering their group. Mexico and Portugal are 2 of the most strongest soccer nations in the planet and considering only the first 2 of each group go to the playoff stage, Iran probably will be fighting for the 3rd position. They are the underdogs, but in this case, I don't think there is much to do.

Iran has a weak defense and Portugal will take advantage of it.  Portugal will win 2-0.

The only way Iran wont go is if they decide to boycott the Cup.  Traditionally, during world sporting events such as the Olympics, countries put aside their differences in a spirit of competition.  The only times in the past teams have not gone were when their country decided not to send them.
