It's taken a wonderful goal from a world-class player to beat Iran. With the way things are going now, Iran may even be able to play some meaningful games in preparing for tournaments like this. Team Melli have done themselves proud.
4 minutes added time , about 1 and a half of those were actually played , alright , the likelihood is Iran wouldn't have scored , but it's the principle , Argentina and Brazil especially seem to be getting special treatment this World Cup , Iran were superb though , Reza looked composed , ran his socks off , and actually put it about a bit , very impressed
Gutted, but Iran can still get through this group. My favourite World Cup game by a distance so far, felt a zillion times more involved in that than any other game. Big respect ought to go to Iran, so cue Alan Greeistas and their patronising attitude.
Well done Reza after that display he should come back to us full of confidence for the new season! Excellent display as Townsend said he never stopped running!

Not as funny as it was meant to be.
Reza has done well, ran out of legs on his second chance I think, which is hardly surprising given the amount of effort he put into the game.
Anyone saying he couldn't hack it in the Championship should be made to watch that game.
Play the man up front Peeters!
As a side remark, how great was it to hear them mention Charlton so often, well done Reza you did our club proud today!
Excellent display as Townsend said he never stopped running!
