FIFA World Cup 2026

Another failure for the Islamic Republic by choosing a coach that people have been warning about his lack of defensive skills for years. 2 goals conceded against New Zealand is pathetic.

Iran played terribly. NZ wasn't a good team at all. We should've won 2-0 or even 3-0. We defeated them 3-0 about 20 years ago and that was one of our weakest teams.

The refereeing was also terrible. Completely killed the rhythm of the match and overlooked so many clear fouls against Iran.

NZ is ranked dead last.

That guy Azmoon got dropped from the squad cuz of his anti gubment stance on womens rights. Just checked his status and he not even a substitute in the world cup.

You're being harsh. Iran did well. NZ are not a walkover team these days. Wood and Just are good players in English and Scottish leagues. Fair result overall. I'd expect Iran to beat Egypt. Will be a very tight group now.

Referee was crap though.

Best match of the day or night depending upon where you live.
IR IRAN - 2
NZ - 2

No, he got dropped from the squad because he posted a photo of himself standing next to an Emirati Sheikh, I think it was Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, right in the middle of the Ramadhan war. He praised him for being a wise guy. Even without Azmoun, we should've been able to defeat New Zealand.

NZ are a walkover team. Iran should've easily defeated them 2-0 or 3-0. They're one of the weakest teams of this 48-team world cup, if not the weakest.

If you think Iran with this performance can beat Egypt, you should stop watching football. Egypt deserved to win against Belgium and Belgium is a thousand times better than New Zealand and this version of Iran. We might win against Egypt because it's football and unpredictable, but we don't deserve such a win, even if it is gifted to us by pure luck.
