Asian champions Iran have become the sensation of the 2011 Men's Volleyball World Cup in Japan and they face a mouthwatering clash with USA on Sunday morning.
The Iranians have never beaten the United States but after recording wins over Poland, Serbia and Argentina so far, Julio Velasco's men will certainly possess the requisite confidence to do so when the sides meet at 02:00 (GMT).
Iran are currently fifth in the standings, three points off the Olympic qualification places, while USA are six points adrift of the top three in eighth place.
If team USA captain Clayton Stanley and co are to keep their hopes of making the top three alive, then they simply can't afford to drop any more points.
