I just wish I could be as happy as I am about the Oilers's win, for the Iranian national soccer team in the World Cup.
Yesturday they lost theire chance of getting into the 2nd stage of this year's World Cup by loosing to Portugal with a 2-0 score.!! They did play a rather nice game though. The Portugese scored purely based on luck!!!

The IRANIAN national soccer team lost its first World Cup 2006 match in an unprecedented 3 -1 score to Mexico.!! Nobody expected this!!! Not even the Mexicans . There are many theories as to what happened between the first half of the match and the second half. The common point in all these theories is that ALI DAEI ,the team's captain, now 37 is way too old to play soccer for 90 minutes. Iranians are now furious with this guy ( ALI DAEI ) who has been the team's star for over a decade , for not letting go of soccer and allowing a younger more energetic player to replace him. They are accusing him of everything from being a selfish brat to working for the Iranian Regime to make sure that the team does not win,in order to prevent people in Iran from going out on the streets to celebrate. Let me remind you that Iran's Mullas are terrified of people gathering in the streets, whatever the reason for the gathering . Anyways, Iran's next match is with Portugal on June 17th, 2006. I hope that the team does better in this match.
Whats up with the Edmonton Oilers?? Y the sudden loosing streak??? It seems like the Edmonton Oilers are also experiencing an ALI DAEI curse!! They have been loosing the last couple of matches and leaving their fans rather upset and depressed!!!
Quiet frankly the Oilers havent been much of a team eversince Wayne Gretzky left the team a few years ago. They got defeated 2-1 by the Carolina Hurricanes
this past Monday night.
Their next game, if I am not mistaken, is this Wednesday night. I really hope that they win.
