Iran
By Caleb Lawrence
Nickname: Team Melli
World Cup appearances: 3
Coach: Carlos Queiroz
Captain: Masoud Shojaei
Player to watch: Sardar Azmoun.
The 23-year-old scores goals for fun for Iran with 23 goals in 31 appearances. Azmoun will be hoping to continue his goal scoring form against world class defenders such as Ramos (Spain) and Pepe (Portugal).
NowUC predictor: Group stage exit
Iran come into the world cup as underdogs with no household names in the team. As well as this, they have been placed in a tough group. As a result, they will finish in 4th place.
