In the 1998 World Cup, Team Melli secured a memorable 2-1 victory over the US in what was dubbed the “Match of the Century.”
Iran has sealed a place at the World Cup for the seventh time when it finished top of its group in the third round of AFC qualification, fourfourtwo.com reported.
The Iranians have never made it out of the group stage, with their most notable win being a 2-1 victory against the USA in 1998.
Given the current political climate, another match-up between these two sides would make more than a few headlines.
