Comments: If Morocco had Taremi instead of their useless #9 they would have tied the game. I declare France the repeat champs!
Comments: Parviz's predictions: Argentine 3-1 over France Morocco 2-1 Croatia
Comments: Yeah, they had some great shooting opportunities and messed it up by lAssing with the ball too much!!
Comments: HAMVATAN Jan, I’m hoping it means something. Does IRI care?

Comments: Faramarz, you are right on the money. Too much tweaking by the Moroccans close to the goal. They should have taken aim and hoped for deflections and create 2nd chance opportunities.
Comments: Shahryar, my predictions: Argentina 2-1 France Croatia 2-0 Morocco
Comments: Two more games left.
Comments: Zinsky is the only one with perfect prediction for this game and received the full 10 points. Daryuish is still in 1st place; Zinsky in second place (much closer), and Parviz and I are tied for the 3rd place. Faramarz Jan, Please check your email for the scoring results.
Comments: Agreed HAMVATAN; Moroccans certainly did themselves proud. There were a couple of opportunities that I thought for sure they will score, but they didn't. I think they will be a force to reckon with in the future. I am also proud of our boys beating them the last time under CQ. This team is very similar to their 2018 team, but more experienced.
Comments: Man Morocco was a good team. They deserved to tie the game! They just do not have any finishers. Had a bunch of opportunities but instead of shooting tried to pass or dribble!
Comments: Good game by both sides. I should get the full points for the prediction but not sure it’s enough to go to #1!
Comments: Great performance by Morocco. They were the better team most of the match.
Comments: Shahryar jAn, I am good with that change.
Comments: Merci Shahryar jAn. My background is not so impressive. We can talk later. For now, after two days of being absent, I have to be at work and so am watching the game in the lab. No one is working! ![[smile]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif "Smile - :)") And everyone is routing for Morocco.I hope that this will go to PKs and then Morocco come out victorious. But I am not sure FIFA is willing to forego a lucrative France-Argentina final!
Comments: Amir just informed me to change his score to 3-0 for France, but I have not accepted it, since it is past the deadline, although the game has not started.
Comments: In a rare moment of truth, Tehran Friday prayer leader Mohammad Hassan Abutorabi has said that the government has been losing its standing in the society. Abutorabi's statement may possibly signal some kind of diversity in the rhetoric of Friday Prayer Imams, who in calmer times repeat a centrally crafted message to believers attending sermons on Fridays. He advised government officials to behave based on ethical standards, as systematic financial corruption has become a characteristic of the Iranian government and its officials in recent years. Abutorabi added that the officials' commitment to ethical standards is the only way to restore the government's lost social capital. Abutorabi's comments are in sharp contrast to remarks by other Friday Prayer leaders who have called on officials to tighten control over the society.
Comments: By the way Faramarz, going to Geneva t attend a meeting at WHO, is pretty impressive. Once the World Cup is over, you should share a little with us about your background; if it is not prying.
Comments: Thanks Faramarz Jan for posting the table, even though you were exhausted from your trip. I too, was tired and passed out early last night. I am hoping we both get to watch the game today; it will be historic. Although I expect and predicted a French win, I am hoping Morocco can prevail against their old colonial rulers. |
