This pretty much says it all. When the mullahs came to power over 30 years ago they overthrew a corrupt, inefficient regime that employed a brutal secret service( and yes I know Savik was trained largely by the US ).

All I can say is a creative and dedicated midfield will always pry open a closed restrictive back four, especially when that back four is an assortment of thugs predicated on intimidation and street violence.
