Asian giants Iran make their fourth FIFA World Cup appearance in the tournament. By hiring Sir Alex Ferguson’s number two and Portugal national team’s former coach Carlos Queiroz, Iranians will have a brilliant tactical mind in their dugout.
They should do well to get something out of a tough group though with Argentina, Bosnia and Nigeria awaiting them in FIFA World Cup 2014. Iran’s former captain Ali Daei is the world’s all-time top goalscorer with 109 goals. Current captain Javad Nekounam is closing in on Daei’s 149 caps.
