Iranian fans in the stands cheer and sing along
"For us, the World Cup starts now."
This was stated by Carlos Queiroz, coach of Iran, on the eve of the match against Wales and after the heavy defeat against England.
"Tomorrow we will play against a rival who represents a people excluded from the World Cup for a long time. It will be wonderful to see the red wall of their fans and it will be nice to be part of this football show. But we are here to make our dreams come true, for us the World Cup begins Tomorrow, England is the past. We're starting from scratch and there are still 2 games and 6 points left. We'll try to pick up the ones we need to go to the round of 16, playing good football and having fun for our people."
