Iran Qualify For World Cup Final's

South Korea, Japan, Australia, Holland, Italy, Germany – and – Iran have all qualified via their continental group for the World Cup set to be held in Brazil next year.

It was announced on April 11 that Goal-Line technology would be introduced for the next Premiership season, in addition to the 2014 World Cup.  So, great news, the old sceptic Sepp Blatter has been brought round to the long-overdue technology, and the world is a better place for it. After being denied in South Africa, England’s prayers have been answered. The ball is now in their court to find a new way to be inevitably ‘unfairly’ eliminated in the 2014 edition.
