Profile:
Back in the 60's and 70's Iran was one of the strongest national teams in football leagues, managing to win the Asian cup 3 times in a row. Unfortunately, due to political unrest back in the 80's, football was neglected and took a back seat, only allowing a return to form in Euro 1998 when they reached new heights by beating rivals the USA and making them the only Asian team to win a match throughout the entire competition. The 2006 World Cup could be the tournament that puts the seal on Iran's quest for International comeback, with Croatian coach Branco Ivancovic heading up a spirited team that includes Ali Daei, Mehdi Mahdaikia and Ali Karimi. There are still good odds on offer for a team in great form in their qualifying group so get your bets placed before the teams success lowers your chances of increasing your money!
