It's confusing because they have virtually the same flag, except Iran's rotated 90 degrees clockwise and their doo-hicky in the middle is different.
Given that Mexico has an eagle as their doo-hicky and Iran has the Bacardi bat as theirs...oh boy it's a tough choice.

Certainly. If more than half a players from each team get ankle injuries, indeed, both teams would become biggest losers of WC2006.
