02.02.2005 - Iran Vs. Bosnia-Herzegovina (Friendly) 09.02.2005 - Bahrain Vs. Iran (WCQ) 25.03.2005 - Iran Vs. Japan (WCQ) 30.03.2005 - North Korea Vs. Iran (WCQ) 03.06.2005 - Iran Vs. North Korea (WCQ) 08.06.2005 - Iran Vs. Bahrain (WCQ) 17.08.2005 - Japan Vs. Iran (WCQ)
Indeed it should be. I predict Iran wins in Azadi Tehrain and Japan wins in their house. Two evenly matched teams and two giants of Asia. South Korea is another giant but they are not in our group. Last time the two teams met, we tied 0-0 I think.
For some reason i think the last game Japan vs. Iran could be a must win game for both teams. Mainly a must game for Iran bc of there inconsistent balance of play, but Japan might have to bc Iran is now a little more serious about the qualifications. After Iran plays Bahrain it will show the seriousness of the Iranian national team.
long time i hvnt posted here... anyways, 4 wins wud give us the road to to WC 2006. We have to get 6 points from DPR Korea.
After Bahrain, i think it could turn out like WC2002. Japans 2 games that will be tough Bahrain 1 game decent game we will win at tehran no doubt. N. Korea 2 games tehran win game, but in north korea could be another tie possibly. * all we have to hope for is a tie against Japan in one of the two games and Bahrain loses to japan twice. This seems like the case wit the current NT.
the game against Japan will seriously be a mountain for Iran. However with some good skills from Karimi, itll be quite a game
hey guyz, any of u know where the upcomin games will be? i tried to look for it but i cannot figure it out. so the japan vs. iran game on march 25th is in japan? it's funny b/c my roomate is japanese so i told him if iran wins hes goin to wash the dished for a month! haha
Apparently Bronko has turned down a Saudi team game with a $ 200K price tag because he doesnt think that we need a game with them. I have no idea what that means, but I think 200K could have served IFF well.
Personally I think Iran is better off not playing the saudis. In the past qualifiers I heard they offered a car to all the bahrains players if they beat iran. So bahrain kept dropping and waisting time. If Iran plays saudi I hope they tear them apart. I think Karimi would score a hat trick against them. But in my eyes, saudi's are a very unsportsman type team.
anybody have the video clips of the what happned during the game between iran and north korea the first time?
Iran is planning to play Bolton , Norwich City , Millwall and 2 other Primier League or First Division teams before the match with Japan. http://www.iransport.net/news/asp/Detail_News.asp?id=16375
I actually dont see the point in that, having a camp before the Japan match that is. If we beat both Bahrain and NK, then the Japan match is pretty much for the bench to play and learn. I could care less if we lose to Japan on the last game provided we win both Azadi games prior to that.
