for Iranian world cup became political when our foreign minister said that http://www.truthdig.com/eartotheground/item/iranian_foreign_minister_links_world_cup_losses_nuclear_sanctions_20100630/ It could change our favor toward teams and nations. Iranian more rather to saw Brazil and Argentina in the final but this time people were so happy when these two teams lost and back home. Brazil voted for Iran in UN and Diego Mardona, Argentina couch gave his shirt to Ahmadinejad three years ago. But last night wasn't good night for us. after that German Octopus predicted that German would lost but most of people hoped for Germany whereas Germany haven't much fan in Iran. last night I had mutual feeling happy and annoyed!
That's more than one word and I hate when politics mess with sports but it happens all to often, I was voting for Brazil but now I'll opt for the Netherlands.
seems Octopus just used for German matchs. today Octopus chose Germany as third in this cup. I guess a trick is behind that Octopus story!
