President deputy predicts passage to second round

Mohammad Aliabadi Iran’s president deputy in sports predicted that Team Melli will make it to the second round of this summer’s World Cup. “Entering the next round would be the logical outcome of what I have seen from our team,” said Aliabadi.

He believes Team Melli is capable of defeating Angola 2:1 and tying Mexico and Portugal.

I am just as hopeful of Mr. Aliabadi, but it would help if we could see Team Melli in action one of these days so we could get a visual too.
