exactly , the Egyptian defender is considered a goalkeeper not a regular player when the goalkeeper is ahead of him

How is this even possible? How can they not see this in the VAR room?

the Egyptian defender is considered a goalkeeper not a regular player when the goalkeeper is ahead of him

guys calm down lol it was clearly offside .. we were playing with 10 players and many got injured : D
plus u gonna qualify anyway and we have the best match which is vs australia , all are winners.

I don't know what it is, I doubt we would face the US anyway, but the last VAR decision was one of the weirdest things I have seen in football since they introduced VAR.

Kind of like last night's match between Germany and Ecuador where they allowed Germany's first goal which had to obviously be disallowed.

Belgium vs NZ also looks quite rigged.

If Iran becomes the winner of group G, you could likely face USA if you could enter round 16.

weird rule, and even then the offside was so so close, only Shoja's hand was offside

very unlucky for Iran especially after we hit the bar twice as well and missed a penalty

Hope Iran will go in next round with this 3 points, they well deserved it as they showed great character and played their matches under non fair play conditions for them.

And his toes, I guess lol
Hand is not part of the match. It shouldn't be used for calling a goal offside.

Goal difference is the issue

Let's be fair, we don't deserve to advance. Our coach sucks, he's only there because he kisses the right behinds.

We shouldn't have played defensively against Egypt nearly the entire match. Egypt was much better on offense and had many issues in defense.

We don't know that yet. Three 3rd teams have been eliminated so far (South Korea, Scotland and Uruguay). We need one more 3rd team to be eliminated for us to advance to the next round.

1. If Austria defeats Algeria, then we'll go to the next round with a draw. (likely)
2. If Uzbekistan stops DR Congo, we'll go to the next round with a draw. (likely)
3. If Ghana defeats Croatia, we'll go to the next round with a draw. (not likely)

The results of Cabo Verde vs. Saudi Arabia & Spain vs. Uruguay have kept our hopes alive so far.

I would say we still have 60%-80% chance to advance with just a draw.

you are right. although even if Algeria beat Austria, we go through as well.

1. Austria beats Algeria --> Iran is through
2. Algeria beats Austria --> Iran is through
3. Uzbekistan beats Congo --> Iran is through
4. Uzbekistan draws with Congo --> Iran is through
5. Ghana beats Croatia --> Iran is through

the five scenarios we have ...
