Iran and the United States, political foes whose football teams are each trying to qualify for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, might meet on the football field in November at Tehran. Sunil Gulati, president of the US Soccer Federation, said Wednesday that the first US-Iran match since January of 2000 could be staged in mid-November in Iran with the Americans hopeful of setting up a rematch in late 2010 or 2011. 'We have had discussions with the Iran federation about possibly playing a game during one of the international FIFA dates in November,' Gulati said. 'Obviously, these discussions are in the very preliminary stage due to the fact that both teams are still attempting to qualify for the World Cup and it is uncertain if either country would even be available to play on those dates. 'But it is something we are considering.' Iran upset the US squad 2-1 in the 1998 World Cup in France and played the Americans to a 1-1 draw in an exhibition in January of 2000 at Pasadena, California.
