Wow. I was not expecting that.

Spain v Iran doesn’t have “entertainment” written all over it, but perhaps being in a Madrid bar one third full of Iranians helped.

Spain had all the possession and no finishing ability, all the chances but by crikey Iran looked good on the attack and defended well.

I was interviewed at half time by the Iranian in the black/yellow checked shirt, on his phone!

The Spanish goal was lucky, but they made their own luck with all the attacking play something had to go in. The Iranian goal caused pandemonium in the bar, but it’s disallowal was met only with muted response.

The final few minutes had some cracking offensive play from Iran, and if not for their goalkeepers cartoon like antics throughout the match (which even had the Iranian fans laughing) I would say they actually deserved the win.

Glad I went out :smile:

Oh, and I have to highlight this:

Didn't realise it was a first for a lady commentator - I'd just got so used to hearing Vicki while watching WSL etc that it just sounded, well, normal to me.

On The local radio phone in last night they did a bit of a poll,asking if you'd rather witness the birth of your child or play in a world cup final. Surprisingly it turned out that most would rather see the birth, rather than play in a WC final. Are they crazy?!:ohmy: I'd say so!:thumbsdown:

I think Jacqui Oatley is excellent aswell although I'm slightly biased what with her being born in Wolves and plus she's a big Wolves fan.

I’m in Madeira right now, where they are rather fond of the giraffe-necked one to say the least!! A hotel, a museum, a large (not very good) statue

I’m a tad disturbed by the crotch rub on the statue though!

I’m a tad disturbed by the crotch rub on the statue though!

I quite enjoyed the museum when I went, but was disappointed it didn't cost €7 to get in. Missed an obvious one there! Pretty sure all the profits are given to charities on the island, which upsets the "Ronaldo is a twat" position somewhat.
 
Here we go again, Denmark v Australia.

Should be a close one, this.
