If ever in a football match, political significance had overshadowed the footballing importance then, this match between Iran and USA was surely that. Ever since the revolution in Iran on 1979, the two countries had absolutely no diplomatic relationship. Both the governments were at loggerheads with each other regarding a host of political issues (they still are), with attacking each other when slimmest of opportunities aroused. Thus after the draw for 1998 world cup took place, this match-up between Iran and USA gained attention across the globe. And on that eventful night, Iran had beaten USA in one of the most scintillating battles in the history of World Cup football.
