#309: Arya Allahverdi on Iran, player unrest, a starting XI & Iranian football

Arya Allahverdi, who runs the Gol Bezan podcast, joins the pod to discuss an Iranian national team that's had its share of controversy, mostly surrounding the coach, Dragan Skočić, who was sacked and then un-sacked this summer after a poor friendly against Algeria. But Iran has several talented players, particularly in the attack, and Allahverdi thinks they'll come out and play at the World Cup, especially against the U.S. He also gives his preferred starting XI.

If you want to skip straight to the part where we talk about current Iranian players and their weaknesses, around the 40:00 mark Arya starts giving his preferred XI, and then some discussion of a likely tactical approach.
