    Dont see why Rezaei, Kia, or Hashemian need to come.

    Give players like Mobali and Bohrani a chance.

    They hardly get any playing time, with practice they get to be more dynamic together. Something that they lack quite a bit. I think Kia, Hashemian, and Karimi need to work more closely, they can make a deadly trio.

    I bet you guys are rubbing your hands in anticipation to this match! :) what do you fanatasize the score to be?

    btw, all Iran has to do is win, right? i forget (I've sort of assumed Iran will go through to the next round already) no goal-differential complications? I guess i could go check...

    If we win 1-0 and Jordan win 10-0, we are still in. It has do with us beating them 2-0 in Jordan and them only beating us 1-0 in Tehran.

    We shouldn't use our best strikers, we can get them injuried. I say use the reserves and work with the trio in the european exhibitions. Then, our players can evolve into a more deadlier trio because they play legitimate defenses. Why? overpower a country like Laos with your stars, then we will miss world cup 2010 bc we wont have a established reserve squad this year.
