Impressed with this Iran, in the second half. If they'd had a little more self belief..
Can't blame them for setting up the way they did, first half. Needs must..

Can’t help thinking VAR would have gone differently had Spain scored a possibly contentious equaliser.

Yes, wonder if the ref would have 'heard' from var then, at all..DasNutNock wrote:Can’t help thinking VAR would have gone differently had Spain scored a possibly contentious equaliser.

Lost sympathy with Iran in the first half, but at least they came out to play in the second and aquitted themselves well. That was a proper 45.

Re: #20 Iran v Spain - Match thread ~ Group B
The pundits at half-time were moaning about how Iran were cheating and play-acting (Slav excepted).
The irony that Iran were playing against some of the world's greatest cheats and play-actors seems to
have escaped them.
OOPS! - Just seen that this point has already been made

Ah you've fallen into the same trap that I often find myself in. When they do it it's called clever play or using their experience...uptonparkhurst wrote:The pundits at half-time were moaning about how Iran were cheating and play-acting (Slav excepted).

Impressed with the fake injuries and time wasting in the first half as well? I wanted to support them today but it’s just impossible to enjoy thatSamba wrote:Impressed with this Iran, in the second half. If they'd had a little more self belief..

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a throw in quite like that.

Re: #20 Iran v Spain - Match thread ~ Group B
Makes you wonder why Iran even bothered trying to qualify for this tournament if thats all they are going to do. Shameful.
I thought Tunisia were bad, but this mob were a disgrace.
