It only changed in the 1970s. I remember the Shah leaving Tehran.

No it was 1935 when it became Iran, iran is Persian for Persia, suggested by the Nazi german ambassador would you believe

Still called Persia until 19th C I believe?

Until 1935. I wrote a paper suggesting that actually the Assyrian empire was what formed the Persian empire. Had a decent debate with a Cambridge don after the paper was critiqued.

I really enjoyed my classics work.

Hoddle. Oh dear. 'He's left the ground with his feet. It wasn't two feet.'

Just how many feet does he think the Iranian defender has? 3? 4?

Worth revisiting the "next manager" thread from before Hughton was appointed. So many on here wanting the moron Hoddle to get the job (him and Tim Sherwood actually).

I totally disagree with the pundits tonight I thought Spain were poor they were lucky with their goal and Iran unlucky not to score, Irans right back I thought he was brilliant

Just seen Iran's goal being disallowed on +1. Very unlucky. Spain have been crap and I hate Sergio Ramos. Morocco would love to knock Spain out in the last group game - bit of an international derby.

Very smart tactics by Iran. Get to halftime level, make Spain feel like they have complete control of the game and then unleash Alireza Jahanaskashkebabkoshbashbosh on them. 3-0 to Iran. Let the slaughter commence.

You missed a "bish" out in there. Still brilliant renaming.:clap2:

Good to see the Iranian ladies in the crowd ditching their burkas and hijabs.

Ditching? They are clearly ex pats....But nevertheless :thumbsup:

Can see Iran turning shithouse Portugal over. Unless the narcissist saves them again.

He will. With the evening sun shining directly out of his perfectly round bum hole. The annoying, but magnificent, tit. Ten percent Grace Jone, ninety percent Shirley Bassey. FACT.
