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.
