Up To Date FIFA World Cup Power Rankings

Germany World Cup

30. Iran

Iran’s defense was a shockingly pleasant thing to watch as they almost ended up drawing with Argentina. Of course Messi was on the end of things to win it all once again, but still the effort was there. They only conceded four goals in three matches.

Their offense is what has them so far down though. One goal, 74 attacks, 64 percent of their passes completed, and 34 percent possession … yikes.
