I had never heard of this story until now!


From wikipedia:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehdi_Mahdavikia

Bigamy affair

In April 2006, German tabloid BILD claimed that Mahdavikia, already married with his first wife Sepideh, had married a second wife named Samira while being in his native Iran, thus practising bigamy. Both women knew nothing of each other and were baffled to find this out. Samira has claimed that she is also pregnant with his son.
Bigamy is outlawed in Germany, but as the second marriage was made in Iran, where it is legal, Mahdavikia is not subject to prosecution. However, Mahdavikia was under intense public scrutiny in Germany. He himself has stated that he made a "big mistake", was "lured into a trap" and ended the affair after a short while. Samira said she married him after he told her he was divorced (which would be a lie) and that he just exploited her. Mahdavikia plans to prosecute Samira for slander

Well, if all of this blew up as recently as April, I wonder how much of this is affecting his current game! Must be bad period for him emotionally.

actually I think Mahdavikia was one of our better players against portugal, but he was not as good against Mexico. also remember he is recovering from an injury.
