Iran 2006

Details imdb

Seen 31 July 2009

A football game
Seems simple
But when it is played in Iran
Passions are a flamed
Especially when a World Cup
Is close at hand

Irrespective of gender or creed
Young or old
They are all swept away
By the torrent of emotions

But women are not allowed into stadiums
How do you get in

Ingenuity

But you are caught
With others
Who had the same idea
The guards
Do not understand
At first

As the game progresses
There is a camaraderie
Thoughts, ambitions
Of the men, the girls
A common denominator

There maybe differences
There maybe arguments
There are rules to obey
There are orders to follow

But Iran wins
Then there is celebration
