Quarter finals: Iran vs. Qatar

[Buran]

Aug 14, 16:00 local time.

If Iran stays focused and plays its usual game, grabbing a win wouldn't be far fetched.
I think this Iranian team could outrun the Qataris.

[FARIDOON]

My team will beat that african team easily..

[flipballa7]

I wouldn't give Qatar any chance of beating Iran. Just too good in all categories.

[eliooo93]

Iran 85%
Qatar 15%.

[merps baller the return]

qatar needs a miracle to beat iran

[khaledlebanon]

qatar needs a miracle to beat iran

qatar have good players if they play good defense and with a good shooting average they can make it...
Qatar played against iran a month ago they lost by 2 points after an overtime...but iran played without ahadadi and 2 or 3 qatar players where injuried... Qatar have chance

[RAWAD]

I expect an Iranian win, but don't underestimate the qataris, they mighht surprise Hadadi &Co.

If u had asked me Qatar or Iran . I would cheer fro Qatar (As an arab country).

But when u ask me between Iran and Africa, I will most probably cheer for Iran...

A walk in the park for Iran.

Iran was also missing Hamed Afagh in that game I believe.

yes and Matic used many of his bench players in that match.

Iran and Qatar (only official matches)

2002 West Asian Games : Iran 88 - Qatar 76
2003 Asian Championship : Iran 64 - Qatar 72
2005 Asian Championship : Iran 58 - Qatar 79
2006 Asian Games (R1) : Iran 61 - Qatar 78
2006 Asian Games (SF) : Iran 64 - Qatar 67
2007 Asian Championship : Iran 95 - Qatar 87

we beat qatar in 2007 Jones Cup and in two friendly matches at 2005 and 2009.

we have a very bad record against "African selection" , but we have a very good chance to win tomorrow match. for sure this is not a very easy match but Qatar is not a danger for the Irannian lions, if we keep our focus.

[ElArZ]

Easy win for Iran.

[khaledlebanon]

Easy win for Iran.

As an arab:
I hope qatar win and this will let us see Jordan in the final easily...
As a lebanese:
I would also hope that iran to lose and don't qualify to world cup so we get over them in the Fiba ranking cuz we are better....
