The Iranians have only one chance to play the 1998 World Cup: the play-off against Australia. In the first leg to Tehran ends 1-1. In the return match Australia scores the first 2 goals and the game seems over. Actually, the Iranian government is worried by the fact that an hypothetical party for qualification can be difficult to manage. But in the second half Iran evens the game 2-2, qualifying. In the squares of the main Iranian cities, thousands of boys and girls celebrate at the rhythm of AC / DC. The government would like to block women's festivities, but not being able to stop a popular party, it orders the team not to return home before 2 weeks. Finally in France Iran have to play a game with a political meaning against the United States. FIFA had the difficult task of ensuring that the event took place without problems. For its part, Iran entered the field with a white rose (symbol of peace) per player. At the end of the 90 minutes Iran will win its first historic game at the World Cup for 2-1, and the 22 players approached the two countries, more than the politicians had done until then. For the occasion Retrofootball® launches the Iran 1990s retro shirt!
