See full film here: http://www.booserver.com/projects.php?ProjectID=1917 Under the Taliban, Kabul's football stadium was a place of fear and execution. Football was discouraged and spectators banned from cheering. But through all the years of oppression, love of the beautiful game remained. Now, in a symbol of the country's rebirth, Afghanistan is rebuilding its national team. We follow football legend Ali Askar Lali as he returns from exile in Germany to select and train the new players. Working in farcical conditions, he tries to prepare the men for their first symbolic international match. Will the team be ready? And do they stand any chance of success?

Oct 25, 2008 - No WE'RE not, even if Iran did own half of West and East Asia that doesn't mean we're Iranian. Afghanistan were taken over by Russia once, before we beat them, does that mean we're Russian? No. And we're not Iranian, our language is similar because Iran and Afghanistan are neighbours.
