Tough team but not experienced in cups compared to others.\n\nProbably, Portugal will be first and Mexico will be runner up in Group D. Even Iran can succeed to be runner up in its group, I don't think that they have a chance against Holland or Argentina one of which will be first in Group C.\n\nI hope you'll suprise us.  Good luck anyway !

I think it boiled down to big match experience. Iran were actually playing better in the second half with the score at 1-1.\nThe problem was they did know what to do next, do they go for the winner or hold on to the draw?\n\nMexico is a fast, nippy team, it took a moment of indecision for Mexico to forge ahead and cement their win with another piece of hesitancy.\n\nBut overall, Iran played well. a good showing for an Asian team.

Iran will win if it plays as well as the first half of the match against Mexico.\nUnfortunately, Iran always plays the first half great,but the second half...I think they become proud.for example in the friendly match against Germany, again they played the first half GREAT, but the second half...\nmaybe they spend all their energy in the first half or maybe something else.\nIran has lots of injuries in key players like Zandi and Karimi and Daei(for this one I'm not sure...)

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

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.

Iran can still go to the next step... they just have to defeat Portugal and Angola and wait for other results within the group.

No doubt. They really play as a team, without selfishness. They have amazingly skillful players, even on the bench. The members of the team are very close. Pekerman is an excellent coach. And most importantly, they are ready to leave their heart on the field.\n\nVamos Argentina!!!

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

Iran is basically a weak country militarily speaking. But it could be a major pain in the ass handled wrong. Their military is basically jury rigged. But it is better than anytime since the Shah's fall. And they are the worlds number one supporter of terrorism. So take your pick. Power is half might, and half strategy.

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!

I really doubt it. They arent really as good as you think. Essien is overrated, and the team showed that they don't have what it takes in the African Nations Cup.

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.

You are praying, so are millions of Portuguese. \n\nBut sticking to footballing ability, you've got to back Portugal. Iran needed a point at least against Mexico but now they must go for broke and that's where Portugal will hit them.\n\nLuis Figo said, 'If we win the next game against an opponent that lost it's first, we are through and they are out'. \nLooks very ominous indeed.

Neither!   The Iranians are a developing team....they played really hard in their matches.  However, when a team is overmatched, they always give up goals in the last 20 minutes because they chase the entire time.  They are competivit by working hard but run out of steam.  This has happened over and over again this World Cup with those teams that work hard to play at this level.\n\nThe Iranian's should leave with their heads held high....out of 200 countries they played at least 2 of the best 16 in the entire world and were competitive.

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.
