Iran Sports Press - On the evening of June 8, 2005, Iran qualified for next year’s World Cup Finals in Germany, with one game to spare and in the process became the second country to confirm its ticket (Germany the hosts don’t actually need to buy tickets to travel, whilst Japan confirmed their participation a few hours before the Iranians). This came a long way from the nerve-wracking qualification campaigns that the Iranians had taken part in during the last 8 years, where they took everything to the death.
