Position: Forward
Born: 22.09.78
Club: Sepahan

Inconsistent and unpredictable, Rasoul Khatibi could be Iran's joker in the pack in Germany this summer.

Capable of creating goals out of nothing but also notorious for the number of chances he misses, the Sepahan man made his international debut in 1999, but his individuality has not always endeared him to the national team coaches.

But Branko Ivankovic appears willing to gamble on this livewire forward in the hope he can provide a real spark with his superb dribbling ability and creativity.
