No idea about Angola and Iran, but this is a ridiculous group. I demand Portugal & Australia be swapped...
lol if only, to be fair though Mexico are a pretty good side...
not to mention digging up the demons of the past if we have to play Iran...

Same Iran that lost 3-0 to QPR last year?!?

No, more like the Iran which beat Bosina (5-2), Costa Rica (3-2) and drew with the Croats (2-2).
