Former West German international midfielder
Wolfgang Overath suggested on Friday Iran should be banned from the 2006 World Cup finals because of a call by Iran's president to move Israel to Europe.
Overath, the president of
Bundesliga club Cologne and a member of West Germany's 1974 World Cup winning team, said the world football governing body
FIFA should consider banning Iran due to the remarks from
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that have sparked widespread condemnation.

Of course Iran should be banned. I am shocked no one is even considering it!
Iran shouldn't be banned and Isreal should be moved to europe.
The Iranian president isn't the only person who has that view, trust me!!
Plus, Iran are gonna win the world cup!!
Instead of banning Iran from FIFA they should ban Israel from all world sporting events.
