I'm Iranian and I have a little hope to go to next round.
About the sentence I marked, I should say the government of Iran wanted to make a law to do all these...but players didn't let them. Ali Karimi has long hairs and he and some others said they would not play if the government make these laws.
I think the real Key Player should be "Mehdi Mahdavikia" of Hamburger
I write down the formation of Iran and the club teams in prantheses and ask of Mexicos and Portugueses and Angolais to this too.

--------------------------------Mirzapour (Foolad)-------------------------------


Kabi(Foolad)-Golmohamadi(Saba Battery)-Rezaei(Messina)-Nosrati(PAS)



-------------------------------Nekounam (PAS)---------------------------------



Mahdavikia (Hamburger SV)--------------------------Zandi (Kaiserslautern)



----------------------------Karimi (Bayern Munchen)---------------------------



---------Hashemian (Hannover 96)----------Daei (Saba Battery) (C)-------


Subs:
GK-Talebloo (Esteghlal)
GK-Roodbarian (PAS)
DF-Alavi (Foolad)
DF-Sadeghi (Esteghlal)
DF-Zare (Bargh)
DF-AmirAbadi (Esteghlal)
DF-Shakouri (PAS)
MF-Madanchi (Pirouzi)
MF-Nikbakht (Esteghlal)

MANAMA: Bahrain's national football team may win a surprise call-up to the World Cup if moves to boot Iran out of the competition are successful.

EU politicians have called on governing body Fifa to ban Iran from next month's competition in Germany - and replace it with Bahrain.

Elected officials yesterday sent a letter to Fifa president Sepp Blatter urging him to take action in the light of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's calls for the destruction of Israel, denial of the Holocaust and his refusal to halt his country's nuclear activity.

It was unclear how many politicians had signed the letter, but British Conservative Party MEP Chris Heaton-Harris claimed there was widespread support for the move.

"We have cross-party support for this and we will now go back to our governments and opposition parties and send them a letter, asking them to back our call," said the former referee in a statement to news agencies.

l The US State Department said yesterday Iran's acquisition of nuclear weapons would destabilise the Gulf region. The GCC has a real interest in seeing that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon, it said.

Iran and Angola will not move on........I'll bet on it. I'm asking why are we talking about the easiest group, when we should be talking about good groups like C,E

logic about what? angola and iran not moving on? if u actually think otherwise then congrats, bet all your money on one of these teams getting past the group stage.
Depending on how much u wanna bet their both 11/4 to qualify and both 750/1 to win.

Brazil has better odds to win the whole thing then Iran/Angola does to even qualify
