Faramarz,

USA's group was in fact considered to be the weakest group this year. I agree with your assessments regarding both USA and Australia below.

I also agree Turkey had a bad day. I watched them play a top European team last year with mostly the same players and they did much better, even though they lost. I do expect Turkey to play better today, but Paraguay is out for blood and they play very rough and dirty that could throw the Turks off their game. If so, the Turks will most likely go home early.

I think you guys are crediting Australia way too much. The fact that they beat Turkiye was a fluke and also poor performance of Turkiye. We'll have to see how good Turkiye is today. I gave them the benefit of a bad day against Australia. But if they do not impress today, they will also be in the subpar cateory.

IMO neither of these two teams (USA and Australia) have football talent. Australia is even poorer than US. US has great talent for do va meidAni. But on the football pitch, when they face real talent, they will buckle. How far they go will depend on who they will face next. Thanks to FIFA there will still be some subpar teams in the next round that got lucky.

Overall I think this group has turned out to be one of the weakest groups.

USA won 2-0 as Farid and I predicted. After the first game today, Daryuish is now in first place again, followed by Zinsky and Hamvatan.

US has had a lot of wasted talent over the years due to poor coaching. They have had a few stars and a lot of utility players but the previous coaches managed them as if they had 11 stars on the field (arrogance factor). This new Argentinian coach (Pochettino) has them as a team to play with respect to their individual capabilities. Australian team though has surprised me on how incapable they are.

Now, Mexico is very different. They have a lot of talent and do get the game. They are also in very good shape and motivated. What Mexico lags is "Game Intelligence"..., like for example what England's Kane possesses. What that means is that they usually do great in Group stages, especially playing at home.

They always have issues playing the more "Intelligent" teams in the knockout stage.

Here is my brief assessment of US team:

They do a lot of the "basic" things very well, including the "Hustle" that these days seem to outweigh talent. 

But when it gets to the talent department, they still don't have it. They simply don't get it. Their players are excellent athletes in very good shape and are very much motivated. There are all some of the "Basic" things I mentioned above.

When it gets to the knockout stages, then they will face actual talents. They could still win, but that is predicated on the talented team perform below par.

The Kangaroos have to play 'bekesh ziresh' football if they want to get back into this match. Just rip it into the box and let the ball bounce like Mexico did last night and scored [biggrin]


Zinsky

Comments:
U.S. is a decent team but of course they have not been tested with high level teams. They will advance to the next round. I would put them in top 16. Maybe top 8 but that would be overachieving.

On US advancing today: If they win yes. But even if they tie, they will advance. But that is meaningless. FIFA just added a bunch of BS teams to increase revenue. Then they will get eliminated in this round. The big question is what happens after this. The quality at the next level is the quality of the old first level group stage competition. But because it is single elimination, BS teams like the USA have a high risk of getting eliminated. If they win the group now, they may increase their chances of winning another game in the next round before getting eliminated.

My prediction: They will probably win the next level game since they will win the group. But after that, it would be surprising if they advance. Mexico on the other hand is very different. They do real well against big teams. So, they may go farther than USA.

His foundation was set by CQ. That is why he is good. And now, in Ghandali's team it is donkey in donkey. Everyone go everywhere, where ever, whatever. So, RAmin is using his talent where ever. [smile]

In a mismanaged team like Iran that plays three games and is out, scoring two goals and assisting another in the last two world cup is special. The funny part: He is a defender. [smile]

Now my editorial!

Just in the same way that people's education level hurt Shah as they were uneducated and demanded a religious government, people's education level (now high) is demanding reform and freedom. IMO this is a tremendous force for change. Like it did with shAh, it will also change this government using internal forces to Iran (not necessarily a revolution but a sort of internal government and societal reform without a change could also be in the cards).

No bombs are necessary and in fact I argue that every time external powers have used force (Iran-Iraq war, soleimani's killing, continuous Israeli assassinations of Iranian scientists over the years, the two wars with US/Israel), it has all backfired and significantly slowed or even reverted the internal progress.

It is my belief that this is what Israel wants, an underdeveloped Iran. I am not sure that this is what USA wants. They have just been following Israel's lead on this.

From AI as far as post revolution goes for both countries:

Following the architectural and political upheavals of the late 1970s and 1980s, both Türkiye and Iran launched aggressive, highly centralized state education initiatives. These reforms virtually eliminated mass illiteracy, drastically closed the gender gap, and permanently altered the demographic landscapes of both nations. [1, 2, 3, 4]

🇮🇷 Iran's Post-1979 Educational Metamorphosis

Following the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini declared illiteracy a national sin and established the Literacy Movement Organization (LMO) in December 1979. Iran's educational overhaul operated on two distinct tracks:
 
  • The Literacy Movement (LMO): The state mobilized thousands of volunteers to establish mobile classrooms in mosques, community centers, and rural villages. This targeted the millions of adults neglected during the Pahlavi era, prioritizing basic reading, writing, and Islamic education. [5]
  • The Cultural Revolution (1980–1983): Universities were entirely shut down for three years to completely redesign curriculum guidelines. Textbooks were strictly "Islamized," and faculty structures were purged to blend ideological alignment with technical instruction. [2, 6]
  • The Demographic Impact Today: This dual system resulted in an unprecedented educational boom. Iran's overall adult literacy skyrocketed from under 47.5% in 1978 to ~89%. [4, 7]
  • The Female Empowerment Pivot: Because rural and religious families trusted the strict gender-segregation rules implemented in post-revolutionary public schools, they enrolled their daughters at historic rates. Female literacy ballooned from 35.5% to 85.1%. Today, women make up more than 60% of university entrants in Iran, particularly dominating STEM fields. [1]

🇹🇷 Türkiye's Modern Compulsory Education Overhauls

Türkiye's modern literacy expansion was driven less by ideology and more by structural, mandatory public law designed to align the economy with Western and European Union standards.
 
  • The 1997 Basic Education Law (The 8-Year Reforms): Türkiye passed sweeping legislation that expanded compulsory, uninterrupted education from 5 years to 8 years. This law effectively forced rural families to keep children in junior high schools, heavily targeting and reducing child labor.
  • The 2012 "4+4+4" Education Reform: Türkiye further structured compulsory school requirements into 12 years broken into three distinct 4-year tiers (Primary, Middle, and High School). This model introduced flexible vocational tracking options.
  • The Demographic Impact Today: Türkiye nearly completely eradicated functional illiteracy, raising the total adult metric from ~63% up to 97.26%.
  • National Literacy Campaigns: Massive, highly publicized state initiatives like "Haydi Kızlar Okula" (Hey Girls, Let's Go To School) launched in the early 2000s directly minimized the persistent southeast urban-rural gender divide. Today, Turkish male literacy sits at 99.3%, while female literacy has closed the gap at 95.3%. [1, 8]

Summary: Where They Stand Today

1978 vs. Modern Era [1, 7, 8] Türkiye (1978)Türkiye (Modern)Iran (1978)Iran (Modern)
Total Adult Literacy~63%97.3%~47%88.9%
Male Literacy~78%99.3%~62%92.8%
Female Literacy~48%95.3%~35.5%85.1%
