Kaka thinks that Iran stands no chance in the global footballing arena. Although he respects Iran, he finds that their team is too shallow in defence, too disorganised for midfield and too weak for striking.

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.

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

Iran has a football team?

Group D is pretty challenging for Iran. \n\nProbably, Portugal will be first and Mexico will be runner up in Group D. Even Iran can succeed to be runner up, I don't think that they have a chance against Holland or Argentina one of which will be first in Group C.\n\nGood luck anyway !

Iran's team is not the representative of Iranian Government. It is the Rep of the Iranian people who are fighting with the government.\n\nBut going back to your question. Iran's got a ver good team this yea. Just check their last result against Croatia 2-2. That game really finished for Iran but the Croat Ref got a last second penalty to save them from embarrassment.\n\nIran's got very talented players.\n\nIran will reach the 2nd stage and after that it all depends to luck and their skills

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

I am deciding to answer this question first with a middle finger to a bastard here ""lord_dups76 "" who has the guts to mix sports and politics. What sports has to do with Nuclear technology????!!! Silly Ugly face. We are paying the price for dummy bastards like this one.\n\nBut we go back to Iran qualifying from the group stage. Yes I believe Iran and Portugal will qualify from the group based on these reasons:\n1- Iran has always won against Central and North American .. The worst they have done has been a 1-1 against Canada  while they have won many other games against USA, Canada, Panama, Costa Rica and Jamaica. \n2- Iran has always played good against Africans. watching Iran humiliate Angola in this world cup would be a joy.\n3- Iran has more stars who play in Germany and Italy than Mexico. Mexico is not as strong as Iran . They are overrated and luck.\n4- Playing in Germany is like playing at home for Iranians. Even in FIFA world cup's last publications has been mentioned that Iranians will play in their other Aryan home, Germany. Mahdavi Kia is the Captain of Hamburg- Runner Up Bundes Liga from next season and he is the most popular footballer of the region.  Hashemian is loved in Hanover. Karimi is the magician of Bayern and many others. Daei doesn't need to be even introduced because as the top goal Scorer of the world , he will be there to direct the team with his experience.\n\nChaparitos should watch Iran scoring from the beginning of the match.\n\nSo my prediction:\nIran 2 Mexico 1\nIran 0 Portugal 1\nIran 4 Angola 0 \nIran will qualify with six points..

Meu caro portuguesinho (Francisco, não é assim?), I don't think that most Iranian fouls were intentional. The one on Figo certainly wasn't.\n\nAs for your concerns/predictions, you are right to be worried about Argentina, which has a formidable team and may be your opponent in the next round. Don't worry about Spain or Brazil (yet) -- think instead of Holland, which is the other possible opponent.\n\nAnd -- do not dismiss Brazil. You are being a bit too hasty.\n\nFelicidades e boa sorte (e viva Deco!)
