SPORTS The Unrelenting Visibility of Wayward Bodies The world of sport has provided the setting for the carnivalesque occupation of streets by the masses on a number of occasions in recent Iranian history. Most notably, following the decisive victories of the Iranian national football team in international tournaments, the streets of major Iranian cities were taken over in celebration by a jubilant crowd, whose genuine emotions and support for their national team proved to be far too strong to be contained in the privacy of their homes, in front of their television screens.

    THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 2014 FAN FERVOR Iran eliminated SALVADOR: Edin Dzeko weighed in with a first-half goal as Bosnia-Hercegovina knocked Iran out of the World Cup with a 3-1 win in Salvador yesterday. Iran had needed to beat Bosnia and hope Nigeria lost to Argentina to keep alive faint hopes of reach- ing the last 16, but Carlos Queiroz’s side came up well short in the Group F clash. A powerful strike by Manchester City star Dzeko gave Bosnia an early lead before Miralem Pjanic added a second just before the hour to settle a relatively dull affair at Salvador’s Arena Fonte Nova. The game burst into life in the final minutes as Iran striker Reza Ghoochannejad netted his side’s first goal of Brazil 2014, but Bosnia replied immediately with an Avdija Vrsajevic goal. The result confirmed both teams’ exit as Argentina and Nigeria reached the knock-out stages by finish- ing first and second respectively in the table after the Argentinians’ 3-2 win in Porto Alegre. Bosnia, whose elimination had already been con- firmed prior to the game, are left to rue what might have been after refereeing mistakes contributed to their 1-0 defeat to Nigeria in their previous match. Safet Susic’s side ended on a high to claim third and leave Iran bottom of the group with a single point from their draw with Nigeria. Salvador has now seen 21 World Cup goals in four group games after the Netherlands destroyed Spain 5-1, Germany thumped Portugal 4-0 and France dominated Switzerland 5-2 with a last 16 match and quarter-final still to come in the stadium.

  • Valbuena on Track for World Cup Role
    Sports FRIDAY, MAY 30, 2014 47 Iran promise a battle to fancied World Cup foes STEGERSBACH: Iran will start the World Cup as rank out- siders but their players have vowed to make life tough for their fancied opponents in Brazil. “No game is going to be easy for us,” midfielder Andranik Teymourian said at a train- ing camp in eastern Austria. “But playing against Iran is not going to be easy for any of the opponents,” he warned. The Islamic Republic start their fourth World Cup finals in Group F against Argentina, Nigeria and Bosnia. They have never made it past the first round and are widely predicted to struggle this time. Iran won just one point at their last appearance in Germany in 2006 with a draw against Angola. Their previous World Cup outings were in 1978 and 1998. They have a record of one win, two draws and six defeats from nine World Cup matches. They head to Brazil, however, having topped their Asian qualifying group ahead of South Korea-a fact the players will not let anyone forget. “This shows the enormous fight- ing spirit shown by the players, proven in the qualifications, and the fact that we could qualify is an absolutely tremen- dous achievement for our team and I personally hope that we can be one of the favorites also,” said Teymourian. Iran, coached by former Portugal manager Carlos Queiroz, want to use the World Cup stage to defy their 37th place on FIFA’s rankings and prove their worth. “That’s like a window TERESOPOLIS: Brazil’s Ramires (center) and Neymar (second from right) fight for the ball during a practice session at the for all the world, all the countries can see it, so we’re going Granja Comary training center in Teresopolis yesterday.
