2014 Fifa World Cup (Thoughts on Iranian National Team)

Today is a monumental day for the Iranian soccer team. People can criticize the World Cup and Fifa all day, but in reality this tournament tramples down barriers and shines a blinding light on negative stereotypes that the american media has worked hard to imprint on the minds of millions. No matter the result today, I am proud of the way the Iranian soccer team has represented a nation full of wonderful people and rich history. This world cup has reminded the world that underdogs can prevail, thats hope and desire can outweigh technical ability, and that no matter what country we are from, we are of the same flesh and blood as our greatest foes. I can not wait to see what happens next. The Fifa World Cup, where the real amazing happens.
