Do or die time for Iran

It does not look good! No sir, it doesn’t! Team Melli has not been defeated in its first three qualifying matches; that is the good part, but it has not had a single victory either! That translates into three ties, three points, a third place in Asian qualifying group 5.

The latest draw was against UAE at home. The team played better than it did in its first two games, but not by much and it was certainly enough.

They are now in the brink of elimination and the only guaranteed way to get a pass is to win the next three games; all three of them away games, and the first two are away games.

It does not look good, but Team Melli has surprised us before. Let’s hope they do it again this time.
