Axis of Evil Soccer

Earlier this year me a couple of buddies were lucky enough to score some tickets to next year's World Cup in South Africa. The ticket lottery works in such a way that we had to pick certain matches in the schedule before we even know who will be playing in them. With the qualifiers still going there are multiple possibilities for the match-ups we will get to see, but my pessimistic side fears we will end up watching a match of two teams that we absolutely have no interest in - Tunisia vs. Burkina Faso? Trinidad vs. Cameroon? Ok those might be fun, but I certainly hope we don't end up stuck with something like this:


Iran is to play North Korea in the qualifiers today (Saturday June 6th) for the privilege of being the Evil representative to the Cup. The news says the result of the match might even skew an upcoming Iranian election. I for one am rooting for the North Koreans, because you know the players will be killed otherwise (or forced to get plastic surgeries to look like Kim's son for when he's president).
