Hi Adi..Oh I'm so glad for Iran. That's good news. They have enough to handle without the joy of their football being taken away.

FIFA have suspended Iran from all international soccer activity because of government interference in running the game in the country. FIFA President Sepp Blatter was on the seven-strong Emergency Committee that said in a statement that they had decided to: "suspend the Islamic Republic of Iran Football Federation (IRIFF) from all international activity due to government interference in football matters and violation of Article 17 of the FIFA Statutes."

Yeah, the ban's been lifted; but FIFA's threatening to put it back again if Iran doesn't comply.
I hope Iran doesn't get suspended again!
