A nation had lost all hope and was ready to throw in the towel when it came to their World Cup aspirations, and he chose this day to remind us all that Team Melli is worth fighting for, that his jersey and place in that team was worth fighting for. A slap in Ali Daei’s face for sure as he dribbled three Arabs and netted the goal. He is truly Iran’s Iranian of the Day today. Thank you Ali Karimi for helping keep the dream alive just a little longer!
