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.

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.

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 :oops:

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...

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 that

Of course not, DC. Much better in the second half.

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. :thdn:
