another spectacular win!!

iran won their latest qualifying game for the world cup in style before a stadium packed with 100,000 roaring fans. i don't know why i like this game so much given that i'm not even allowed to go to the stadium to watch the game... but it's the national passtime. i can't wait till next summer when they play on the world stage in germany... if the team keeps playing the way they have in the last year or two then they may advance to the second round, and perhaps even beyond. wishful thinking is a great pleasure...
