WE WANT IRAN IN FUTURE FIFA GAMES

Firstly, we would like to thank EA SPORTS for the wonderful FIFA series, which continues to improve year by year. Now, our main concern is why the Iranian national team hasn't been included in FIFA since FIFA 2001. We can understand that not qualifying to the World Cup 2002 played a factor, but were going into year 2005 now. Its very unfortunate for thousands of Iranian fans to know their team isn't in the most recent game, FIFA 2005. Iran is ranked 20th in the world, 2nd best in Asia, and placed 3rd in the Asian Cup 2004, and is a good bet to qualify to Germany 2006, so we think it deserves to be in the future series of the game, and with reasonable ratings as well. While teams like China, and Korea Republic are usually in the game, Iran being a better team at the moment, and this is backed up by current statistics, deserves to be in this game long before China at least. For every country included in the future FIFA series, at least a thousand fans from that country will tend to buy the game. This is why Iranian fans tend to buy Winning Eleven 8 instead, as it has had the Iranian national team numerous times. We know FIFA series always do a better job on team player graphics and game play, and maybe having alot of domestic leagues can brighten up the game, but for us, and many others, its country before club.
So to conclude, we as Iranian football fans, feel its just fair that an Asian football powerhouse like Iran should be included in future FIFA series, as long as their performance stays as it is now, let alone the chance being in the 2006 FIFA WORLD CUP game which is released specially by EA SPORTS every 4 years. We hope you understand our cause and thank you very much!
