Hoder, these are fantastic photos, and a very important event. Thank you for sharing them. Only in the past couple of days have I finally really explored Iranian blog sites, and am very happy with some of what I am finding.

We should ban the mullahs from attending these soccer games. since even khomeini himself said about soccer "an addictive creation of the west".

BTW, have you noticed that Iranian women has been on the top of Mount Everest? See http://www.mountainzone.ir/news.htm This is such a remarkable feat, especially in light of the fact that the conditions on Everest was really bad this year, and very few expeditions summitted successfully (basically, it was just a handful of days where you could make it at all). This is surely something Iranian girls can take great pride in. Also, I'm sure these women would like to do sports, not just watch it...

Salam, Hossein! This is indeed great news about the women liberation in Iran...I commented on the Iran's victory in my blog yesterday (and the coincidence with the Brazil's match against Argentina in the same evening...well, now I have to comment on the disappointing BR defeat!!). Anyway, I am glad to hear there were some very courageous Iranian women trying this important first step. Mersi! Khodahafez.

hoder, stop spouting your pro-regieme pro-election garbage. Nobody whether inside or outside Iran buys this anymore. Why don't you give up. This is an illigitimate theocratic dictatorship - period.
