I'd like to talk about the most exhilarating football match I've ever witnessed. It was about a quarter of a century ago, and it was held in Australia, a football match between Iran and Australia. It was the 2nd leg of the playoff match, and the winner was to progress to the World Cup 98. The stadium was filled with Australian fans, and we were listening to the radio commentary. The atmosphere was electric, and most of the experts had predicted Australia's win. Australia scored two goals in the first 70 minutes of the match, and we were somewhat anxious about the result. But Iranians came back, showcasing their skills and scored 3 goals one after the other, shattering Australia's dream to progress to the World Cup 98. Australia was eliminated from the tournament. That's what I like about football because it's a battle of the mind as much as the body. Players who are self-assured and confident can see their results.
