So does the Iranian National Football have a nickname then? “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

I don't think we can consider it a nickname Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you've been working on questions as well and you've checked most of mine - with the exception of today's stack. Clearly, if it goes wrong, it's on me.

OlympicIRL 4,826 Posted January 3, 2021 #229 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I'll choose the regular route with 3 lifelines and safety net at 32,000 because that's the one I am most used to and always wanted to have a shot at this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
