 * Delete - not a notable rivalry, see also WP:NRIVALRY. GiantSnowman 07:45, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - absolutely no evidence to suggest this is a rivalry by any means Spiderone  07:57, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete -Nothing supports notability. ABF99 (talk) 11:04, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Not a rivalry. One FIFA WC group match and one friendly do not create a rivalry. This "rivalry" is contrived because of the political climate between the two nations. Politics does not belong in football. We must invoke WP:NRIVALRY and examine whether this passes WP:GNG, which it does not. — Jkudlick t c s 11:27, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete—Except for the geopolitical overtones, two matches does not a "rivalry" make. Not does it make it "Notable.  if there is more there, then the article and the sources ought to say.  Unless that is corrected, Delete for all the foregoing reasons makes sense.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 14:47, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete not a notable rivalry. Per the other comments. --74.130.133.1 (talk) 17:21, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Clearly fails WP:NRIVALRY. Wider issues between the Us and Iran do not inherently mean there is a rivalry there, particularly when the teams have only ever played twice. Fenix down (talk) 08:03, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
