At this time, Iran team is the most powerful time that Iran had. Ali Karimi and Mahdavikia are the two stars of Iran that will showed their characteristics in this world cup.

I agree with you, but i think they have proven something by just being in the world cup, because it is a long way to qualify for the World Cup. I also agree with Iran, and Trinidad, because Iran is a though team, and trinidad gave a pretty good defence in the last two games. But if you remeber Croatia made it to the quarter finals in their last World Cup, or 1998 i don't really remember.

It's just three matches, anything can happen. In 2002, for example, Denmark and Senegal left France behind... To tell the truth I haven't had the chance to watch the Iran team many times, so I don't really know what to expect from them, but I'm hoping for the best. It would be nice to have them among the top 16.

No.  No offence to any Mexicans, but I've noticed Mexicans are die-hard fans for everything their country does--even when they do it badly.  I decided to look up their World Cup track record and although I didn't go back further than the 80s, it seems the furthest they've made it was to the qrt finals once.  Otherwise, they usually don't make it past the top 16.  To tell the truth, Mexico is a highly regarded team, but they aren't all that.  The only reason they're going to make it out of the 1st round is because Angola and Iran suck.  And even then, they tied with Angola.  Come on.  This is supposed to be ra ra Mexico Mexico.\n\nAllez Brasil!!

Group D is comprised of: Mexico, Iran, Angola, Portugal\n\nIt is a fair assumption that Mexico, and probably Portugal will make it to the next round.\n\nAfter that, things will become way more difficult especially according to the seedings. However, I don't believe Mexico has the talent to dream of a medal. We have seen that fortune helps at times, but this year the Mexican team is not a medal-caliber squad!

Iran's got a very good team. However, the lack of experience was the main reason they could not capitalize on their ball possessions and shots on goal against Mexico. They should've not play defensively in their first match against Mexico\n\nI think they will play a much better soccer tomorrow against Portugal

Iran has a much stronger and more experienced team than in France 1998, with more European-based players who are currently playing at a high level.  But Iran has a difficult group.  Iran must beat Angola, and tie either Mexico or Portugal in order to have a chance to advance.  I think that Iran can do it.  Their coach prepares them well on set plays.  Having watched their qualifying matches, I saw that they score many goals on set plays.  If they can continue to do this in the World Cup, they can get goals against both Mexico and Portugal, which are not strong defensive teams.  Then they can tie one of those games.  If Iran does advance, I think that they will have a difficult time moving past the Round of 16.  But every World Cup has surprises.

1. Portugal\n2. Mexico\n3. Iran\n4. Angola\n\nI think Portugal and Mexico will beat both Iran and Angola and  the group will be decided by the result of their head to head match. I think Portugal have the slight edge because they have a team that has played together and done well in major international tournaments (Euro 2004).

IRAN..... Iran will qualify from their groups respectively. I can't wait to see overrated chaparitos humiliated lol. Mexico really sucks. After 12 times of qualifying the furthest they have gone is quarterfinals. Iranian coach said the best thing? The problem of Mexico is simply being in the same group with Iran and Portugal. lol. Wait and see.
