Comments: Early goal and miss penalty. Iran is doing well considering
Comments: Iran coach Ghalenoei has made two changes to the team that held Belgium to a goalless draw in the last match. Defender Mohammadi and attacking midfielder Ghorbani start ahead of defenders Hajsafi and Hardani.
Comments: After 4 games today..., same at the top...
Comments: Cape Verde tied all 3 games and with 3 points ended up 2nd in their group.
Comments: Cape Verde made it! KSA sucked!
Comments: I always loved to play in rain and especially snow. For some reason I always felt it gave me an advantage, although I can never prove it. I hope it gives our boys an advantage.
Comments: You are welcome, Zinsky and LOL. It has been a distraction for me too. Although with my workload these days, I would not need any, lol. I am managing two organizations, have 4 programs to run directly and three proposals to finish in two weeks..., Yikes!!! But the busier I am, the lass time to think about all the bad things, I suppose. Hopefully, we get a Closure on the war soon, and people start rebuilding and living again.
Comments: Thank you agha Shahryar! It's going to be raining for the game tonight in Seattle, Mammad Salah should be used to it ![[biggrin]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif "Big Grin - :D")
Comments: It’s been a while since I stayed up after midnight! I certainly hope it’s worth it. If we don’t win tonight, I’ll be very cranky! Why is the game at 11:00 PM my time?
Comments: You are the man! Truly appreciate this. After months and months of frustration about Iran, I have something to distract myself. Thanks for all the hard work.
Comments: Ok then, great. I will introduce that to the doostan, sometime this weekend.
Comments: Shahryar, I’m good with that as well. The reason I wanted to double the points was exactly what you mentioned. Maybe some of us can catch up. Either way is perfectly fine with me.
Comments: Zinsky, Regarding the contest. I do not want to double the points for the knockout stage. I think it takes away from what everyone accomplished in the Group stage. So, i want to preserve the integrity of this stage. The reason I want to start a new contest is to give some people a chance to win. Otherwise some who are in the lower end, can never catch up with the top. So, I think the most fair and most exciting is to conclude the group stage and name the winners tomorrow and celebrate them. And start a new one so everyone has a clean slate going forward. I will keep an accumulated table also, for those who earned their bragging rights :)) But I am open to suggestions.
Comments: BTW, in todays game CML eliminated PER winning 2-1 in extra time. They will play GGS next week and the winner will go to Asia. Good news for PER is they are negotiating with the 'winning coach' to take over the team for next season
Comments: My predicitons for the final day of the group stage, don't copy me if you want to get on top of the table CRO 1 - 0 GHA PAN 0 - 3 ENG COD 1 - 1 UZB COL 1 - 2 POR JOR 0 - 3 ARG ALG 1 - 2 AUS
Comments: I am OK with either suggestion for the contest, doubling the points or starting a new contest for the elimination round
Comments: 3 points doesn’t seem to be enough to advance as the best 8, 3rd place team. We need to win. No other way.
Comments: Shahryar, On the subject of starting over for the knockout stage, I have no objection. Or, we can double the points for that stage and possibly double it again for finals (top 4 teams). Either way, you are doing all the work and are fully in charge in my book. No complaints or deduction of 20 points for anyone complaining…
Comments: Looks like if we place 3rd and advance by a miracle we end up playing FRA. That makes is imperative for us to win the match and play either AUS or SWI. EGY does not want to place 3rd either for the same reason. SO they will not come out swinging and play for a draw. We need to keep the game 0-0 and go for the win in the last 15 minutes
Comments: Shahryar, I know!!! I’m trying to book a trip back home and every time I feel it’s over, there is something. I’m not sure if these two sides can ever find peace. Bunch of MoFos on all sides. |
