IRAN
Manager: Branko Ivankovic
Fifa ranking: 19
Key man: Ali Karimi (Bayern Munich)
Previous World Cups: 2. Group stage 1978, 1998
Killer fact: Players are banned from curling hair, growing strange-looking beards, wearing ponytails, necklaces, earrings, rings or tight clothes
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.
