    Over Government interference.

    Note that the EU is also under scrutiny.

    They are not the first and won't be the last. Greece were in a similar position earlier in the year. I disagree with most of what FIFA do, but that is one hell of a good rule - football trancends politics.

    Greece quickly got un-suspended when they did what FIFA said they should do.

    Will Iran follow suit? Given my knowledge of Iran from various sources (OK, my professors and fellow grad. students in our department), it's...iffy.
