Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Evo Morales have long been on the same side politically.
Now the presidents of Iran and Bolivia -- both harsh critics of the United States -- have literally teamed up, playing a friendly game of five-a-side soccer with professional players during Morales's state visit to Tehran.
State-run television on Wednesday showed Ahmadinejad scoring off a corner pass from Morales. The game ended 4-4 after regular time and the presidents went on to win 8-6 after a penalty shoot-out.
