Iran spend most of the time lying on the floor

[zuricity]

Iran pulls out all the stops in the time wasting game . Shocking example of playing football.
Get a goal soon Spain and get this rubbish out of the tournament.

[Beefymcfc]

I'm honestly not sure about these games. I liken it to a FA Cup match where a Top 6 team play a 3rd tier team. It's quite interesting in some respects but this is the 'World Cup', showcasing the beautiful game.

Iran could deprive us of so many wonderful matches.

Oh, I don't know. Wtf am I watching?

*scratches head*

[zuricity]

In hindsight 1-0 with luck( for Spain) must surely put the shits up Portugal. Iran wins against Gobbi and they are through ( as much as i hate what i saw tonight )

[sheblue]

Glad Spain bet them cloggers

Iniesta looking a spent force at 34 , Merlin still full of running and running the show ,his first touch still sublime absolute class !

I wont bother with a long winded post .

England are fucking shite !

LOL

As fair as quality of Football goes that team was playing best football I've sen from England side in at lady 15 years. About 20 years, at least since 1998, I've heard about future being England team and as a neutral saw that you had some horrible generations. This generation though. Un tee years this will be legit AND you got some truly interesting prospects in U21, U19 and U17 sides (U17 as far as talent sporting goes is crapshoot admittedly).

So, NO, for once England aren't fucking shite.

They started out well in the first half but when Tunisia changed their shape to nulify them in the second half England didn't respond - which is Southgate's fault - although they managed to grind out a result . I'm kind of concerned he won't know what to do when he's presented with a problem from a 'better' side (or a side that's having a good match rather).

Absolutely 100%. Alli was an injured passenger for the back end of the 1st half and the rest of the 2nd half but Southgate waited until the 80th minute to replace him. Absolutely criminal management. If that was pep at City, we would be screaming from the rooftops.

He likes to play good football but can't read a game and his game management is piss poor.

He is over the hill.
Silva did well so did Isco.
Spain look the best all round team.
Iran look like they were managed by maureen, Iranchester united i saw them described as

I agree BUT it's early days with this generation. The signs are extremely positive though.

Sorry you have completely lost me .

Fair enough. This autocorrect on my new phone is fucking horrible.

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

licking is now cool !

Licking is good when we got manager worth licking. Rags with no idea of Football tactics don't qualify though.

[Wonderwall]

Would love to see Iran get an early goal against Portugal.

[South Stand Balti]

No idea how VAR gave that penalty to Aus. Farcical.

It didn't! Spotting (not sporting) talent at U17 level IS crapshoot.
