I was wondering why the Iranian song was done in Germany.The national songs are a matter of pride for that country and are usually not outsourced.Is it due to lack of musicians in that country?
to clarify: this is not the official hymn - there's plenty of musicians in Iran, and there's certainly more songs dealing with the theme.
The most boring out of this bunch is usually the officialy FIFA licensed one.

Well, Ali is just an Iranian singer that happens to live in Germany writing a song for his team at the worldcup. - And he has pride! -
I somehow happened to mix german/persian popmusic, and it was definitely fun to be part of this.


...too bad they have to leave, but they will certainly party anyways!


btw...Hamburg is in fever! The soccer-euphoria has taken over!


Good luck for your teams!

Argentinia
Ecuador
England
Germany
Mexico
Netherlands
Portugal

and

Sweden!





oh, and I think that Ghana will end the tournament for the USA.
whilst noone notices over there because of the basketball.

Let's all hope, they don't play foul on Iran after the cup.
