One seemingly unrelated event to watch: in the week before the presidential vote, Iran will play two critical football matches as part of the qualifying round for the 2010 World Cup. If Iran fails to qualify, this could turn some young voters against the incumbent.
目前，好像有一件看似不相干的事件也在左右着局面——在本次总统投票前，也就是本周，伊朗将参加两场关键的2010年世界杯足球预选赛。如果伊朗队输球的话，一些年轻选民就会将怨气撒在现任的执政者头上。
