Football World Cup - Russia 2018

[Dave 123]

Iran have had their chances - if they don't come out of this with a draw, i think they can consider themselves very unlucky...

And they should have scored!

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Iran have put in a decent effort and are unlucky not to be level (at least!)

 

[Serge]

If a team of the ranking of Iran can cause a team of the ranking of Spain so many problems, this is going to be a smegging good World Cup.

 

[Dayvo]

Stupid question time: is Iran ranked lower than Scotland?

 

[matiz]

If the Iranians lose this they have certainly gone down fighting.

 

[Dayvo]

Googled it myself.

Iran 37
Scotland 42

Nope.

I was expecting an exhibition match if I'm honest. It's a bit disappointing not to have seen a goalfest, but hats off to Iran.

 

[Reynard]

Spain haven't played that well - but then they've not been allowed to...

Think the Iranian team can hold their heads up high tonight whatever the result.

It's been an intriguing match, for all that there's only been the one goal.

I just want to see an old fashioned Harlem Globetrotters 100-0 thumping with party tricks!
Maybe Panama are plotting it.......

 

[Reynard]

Right, I need a bimble on the bike to recover from all that. Casa Reynard over and out.

Well a good game
Shame for Iran deserved a draw

Ow, Ian Wright's shirt is hurting my eyes.

Ow, Ian Wright's shirt is hurting my eyes.

Yes - bright, breezy and cheerful. The polar opposite of Roy Keane's miserable 'I don't really want to be here' physog.
