If it's the Iran of 2018, and Azmoun is fit, they're a strong choice for 2nd. Taremi is the in-form goal threat - he's the guy that missed right in the final minute of 2018 that whould've had Iran qualify top of the group and knocked Portugal out. He plays as a fake striker, and if England's defence play to club form he'll drag them everywhere, especially if England are successfully frustrated and chase the game. It's perfect that they play England first, so they may be surprised by Taremi, the full backs and goalkeeper assists coming at them. Wales are beatable and USA couldn't win away at all in qualifying (lost 4-1 in Honduras), so who knows?

git2thachoppa Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Is there anyone that has been called up to the France squad before and gets along with everyone?
