Persia? Is this the 19th Century?

This one really could go either way.

Edit: Blimey. It actually nearly did.

500 bc the Persian empire covered 45% of the known world and covered 50 million of the world's population of 112 million

Again the commentator (idiot) says amazing atmosphere. IT IS A RUBBISH ATMOSPHERE. Football crowd noise should have ebb and flow as the game develops. Not a constant, incessant din which neither shows approval or displeasure.

Like the match is being overseen by a malevolent race of giant noisy wasps

So Persia v Persia then?

Basically yes...the current Iran is a fraction of the empire that covered most of North Africa to India and southern Russia through the caucuses.

It was really the first of the worlds empires..then came Greek/ Roman/ and the European empires
