As a Brazilian, I have to say I am very sad that we will play Ghana so soon and only one of the teams will advance. Ghana is the nicest team to watch so far, and the match against the Czechs was the best I've seen in the World Cup. \nAnswering your question: yes, you can beat us and, if you do, Ghana will be my team to the final. Good luck!\n\nYou know, Iran beat the US in 1998, and it doesn't seem it allowed them to play with Uranium. You may have to wait on that one...

I'm sorry but Iran doesn't make it out of the first round, it will be Mexico and Portugal advancing to the next round...

I thought that many teams - besides Italy and France - had a shot at winning the Cup. Examples are: Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Australia, Portugal, etc. They all played with drive and passion! Your team - Iran - was also awesome, especially Javad Nekounam!

Hey! u forget that! Iran in fifa ranking is in the 22th place while Angola is in the 58th! also Iran has the best players in Bondesliga, such as;\nAli Karimi >>> FC BaYern MunchenEV ( he is the best player of the year 2004!)\nMehdi Mahdavikia >>> Hamburg\nRahman Rezai >>> Messina Italy\nVahid Hashemian >>> Hanover\nFereYdun Zandi >>> Kaiserslaturn and More...\n\nAlso it has Ali Daie! \n It is very difficult for Mexico and Portugal to go over the group!

I think he's one of Iran's best footballers they've ever had!  He will help them very much in world cup 2006!

France didn't do well for sure.  But the ultimate failure at the last world cup was Saudi Arabia.\n\nThey had 0 points and 0 goals after 3 games in which they conceded 12 times!  They started off with a 0-8 capitulation to Germany (which barely missed on a World Cup record of largest scoreline), then went on to lose 0-1 to Cameroon, and finally 0-3 to Ireland.  \n\nI am not sure, but I believe that this was indeed the worst performance in World Cup history.

I strongly doubt it. As much as I really wanted Iran to beat the crap out of Mexico (for the record, I am not racist but in Central America, we don't like Mexicans' arrogance when it comes to football), the team just isn't as compact enough for a World Cup. After last night's defeat 1-3 against Mexico, their coach complained he didn't have enough time to train with those players playing outside of Iran. Besides, they seemed as though they had enough air and energy to overrun the Mexicans, yet they fell into stagnation on the second half.\n\nThey might beat Angola, but I doubt they will go pass the Portuguese. However, we will have to wait and see. It is still too early and anything can happen. \n\nPS: TO WHOMEVER IT MAY APPLY: do not mix football with politics; one thing is the country's president and another thing is their national football team. Get a grip.

Iran presently are no where in world football, therefore I give them first round stage to go out. Participating is part of the world cup!

1. Iran vs Angola\nBased on scoreboard, i'm sure iran will lose this game. They are not really into this world cup, but i expect they will not lose too much on Angola at least 1-0 or 2-1\n\n2. Portugal vs Mexico\nAh, this 2 teams. Hard to tell, even everybody is expecting Portugal to win this match. Portugal had a small winning on Angola 1-0 and Mexico had a draw with Angola. Mexico had 1 goal against them, means their defends are not too strong than Portugal without goals against. Even if Portugal wins this match, it will be a close winning maybe 1-0 or 2-0. But if Mexico hit Portugal first then i think Mexico will win this match.\n\n3. Netherlands vs Argentina\nHmm, both have nothing to win / lose at this moment since both are going to the 2nd round. They have another 8 days for them to rest if they really want to take this match slightly easy. Based on the scoreboard, i want Argentina and Portugal to meet each other in the 2nd round. Therefore even if Argentina wins this match, the 3rd round would be easier for them, they have just to beat Mexico, and i'm sure they will win that match. So , Argentina will win this match on 2-0\n\n4. Ivory Coast vs Serbia and Montenegro\nNot much to say

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.

Iran does not stand a chance against Mexico. Mexico is a very experienced team and i expect them to run over Iran. Mexico should win 3 goals to nothing.
