Have we mentioned yet the egyptian player who refused the POM award because it was sponsored by a beer company? So we have at least one muslim player at the WC who takes his faith literally (though i believe some scholars allow Ramadan exceptions for athletes).

German football federation actually have an article on their website about it. The "central council of muslims" in Germany had the issue relayed to the Al-Azhar, which confirmed that pro sportspeople are considered equivalent to people who do hard manual labor and thus are allowed to shift their feasting to a time when there are no competitions.

Portugal just need to tie, as they'll advance by virtue of more goals scored. To a certain extent, the Iran Spain game had no effect on Iran, as they would have had to beat Portugal if Iran didn't win or tie by scoring 3 goals. Spain has never going to lose, and Iran was never going to score that many goals, so a 1-1 tie has the same effect as losing 1-0
