OK, I am going to try - and this time only try - to answer some of the 
questions.  Mack and Keyvon have already answered the easy ones, and I am
now left with the difficult questions.  It seems the level of difficulty is
going up exponentially.  Please, you "tarrAhAn-e sA'lAt" give us easier
questions. :-)

>1-in the opening match for Iran in 1978 WC in football against                
>Netherland , a match that Iran lost 0-3 what was the name of the              
>Dutch forward who scored all the 3 goals (hat trick) ?                      

Also, I was going to say Rensenbring.  But what is the hat trick in this
question?

>2- In the same match,  Roshanzadeh had the company of another . . . 
>what famous words he said when Mohajerani replaced Hossein Faraki
>with Ghafoor Jahani?
                
Well, the commentator was nobody but our expert Ata'u'llah Behmanesh.  I do
not remember what was said?  Sorry, I did not record the event. :-)

>3- In the qualifying match of the same games Iran met Australia               
>on a return match in Tehran, (we had won the first match in sidne  
>1-0), Ghafoor Jahani was lucky enough to score the only goal of the
>match. What did Roshanzadeh say ?

That's not fair, man!  How am I supposed to remember what Roshanzadeh or 
Behmanesh said?  Please have mercy on me!!  OK, I am going to guess and say
it in English,  'Goal, Goal, Goal, beautiful goal by Ghafoor Jahani our lion
of the North.'

On a more serious note, let me recompense you by asking following question.  I
know it's like I am answering one question with another question, but that is
the only way I can point to the degree of difficulty.  OK, in 1970 World Cup
again both Behmanesh and Roshanzadeh were reporting the games, of course from
Tehran via satelite.  In the semi-final game between W. Germany and Italy, 
when Gerhard Muller scored the third goal which was an equalizer goal (Italy
won the game 4-3 in over-time), while the ball was passing through the goal
line, what did Roshanzadeh and Behmanesh say jointly?

>4- In the qualifying match of the WC footbal in 74 Germany, Iran
>again met Australia (we had lost the first game in Melbourne 0-3),
>What was the final score and who scored the goals?

I would agree with both Mack and Keyvon: 2-0 for Iran and both goals by Captain
Parviz Gheligh-Khani.  There were certain sidekicks to the game.  Our players
were under pressure to compensate the shameful defeat in Australia.  There was
a lot of disunity among the head coach and players.  Hejazi was branded as the
reason we had failed in Australia and hence was not permitted to play.  And,
interesting enough the referee was no one but Bahramof from the ex-Soviet.  He
was the linesman who declared legal the controversial goal of England in the
World Cup '66 final at Wembley against W. Germany.

Iran scored both goals in the first 25 minutes.  At half time we all said no
problem.  We had 45 minutes and all we needed was one goal.  Ghelich would
do the job.  But in the second half Australia put itself together and they
badly defended themselves against 11 Iranian players and over 85,000 'mostAgh'
paticipants.

>5- What were the name of the two Kuwaiti forward who met Iran
>in all the games (and I say there was many of them)?

For sure Hamd bu Hamd as Keyvon said it, and the second one I don't remember.

>6- In 1972 Olympics in Munchen an Iranian weight lifter won the silver
>medal in 72kg, He was from Khouzestan , what was his name?

Now, this must be a secretarial error.  If you mean Nassiri it was the 56 Kg
division known as Bantamweight or in Persian 'khoroos-vazn.'

>7- Who was the Mordeh-Khor of Taj ?

Mr. Gholam Hossein Mazloomi, definitely.

>8- In which Olympics did Mohammad Nassiri break the record and by
>how many Kilos ?

What record?  Olympic or world record?  It must have been '68 Mexico City.
His Jerk (do-zarb) was 150 Kg and a world record.

>9- What was the name of the Iranians heavy weight wrestler between the
>time of Takhti and Soukhteh-Saraii. He met Alexander Medvid in his
>first game in 72-Olympics .

I am going to guess Moslem Eskandar Filabi.  He was close to a bronze medal,
but got the 4th place in '72.  BTW, according to my book {:-)} Medved's 
first match was against Chris Taylor of USA.


Thanks for the questions Kambiz, I mean Kamran; I enjoyed them all.  Let's go
for another round.  Whose turn is it?
