According to ISNA (http://www.isna.ir/news/NewsCont.asp?id=433726), the Iranian FA has protested to AFC regarding serveral "over-age players" in China and Qatar's squads. The Iranian coach says that he's sure there were 5 such players in Qatar's squad one of whom is reportedly 22 years old! So AFC is going to take some x-ray exams of both Chinese and Qatari players to determine their true age. Should there be even one over-age player in either China or Qatar's squads, Iran would be granted their spot in the next U-17 World Cup.

Knowing the AFC, even if the X rays show that the players are over 25 the win will still count. Ahh the love we receive from the AFC isen't it great to be the most hated team in all of ASIA.
