  • Spain are awful. Will go out to anyone half decent.

    Not true.

    If Spain play England they would win because they would turn Walker, McQuire and Stones inside out plus we are half decent.
  • So far, Spain have been rubbish.

  • How is 1st and 2nd decided if Spain and Portugal remain on even goal difference?
  • Iran look half decent now they've started playing some football

    Their final match with Ronaldo Portugal could be quite interesting

    Goals Scored and then Head to Head

    Guess it'll help if Portugal win 1-0 and Spain win 2-1 in the last round of Games if it comes to that
  • Spain may well be playing crap, hard to tell when going up against that Iran display. I dread to think how awful this game would have been if that were England trying to break down a solid 6 man defence....

    Also, Iran really should have tried to play from the beginning they've certainly been no mugs going forward!
  • edited June 2018

    Most teams who park 2 buses when defending don't get 4 in the box when attacking.
    I think their legs may go in the last ten.

    Not true, the Iranian are super fit and have made the Spanish look average !

    Really? That’ll be interesting.
  • They love a roll around some of these Iranians

    Lost count the number of times I've seen them on the floor fine, spot the ref looking and then starting rolling in agony.
  • Brilliant throw....
  • Yeah goes to fair play and then drawing of lots after that.

    And wasted 30 seconds of their time too...
  • Poor from Spain. Losing Lopetegui just before the start of the tournament will have had an impact. They don't seem as comfortable as normal.

  • Somebody should stick those vivuzelas up the arses of the people that are selling them. Totally ruined the atmosphere of the Spain v Iran game and this could end up a shit World Cup like the one in South Africa now if they don’t put a stop to them

    Agreed - this could be remembered as the vuvezela and mosquito World Cup if not.
  • They have just ground out a win against a more than effective Iran team. Not sure how people see that Spain were crap.
  • the Iranian defender handles the ball in that scramble. Absolutely certain of it
  • Seem to be a lot of 1-0s so far.

    Definitely better then Portugal.
  • Would love Iran to knock Portugal out, Ronaldo's strop would be a thing of beauty.

    9 out of 20 games have ended 1-0 including three today! Still yet to see a 0-0 though!


    Still tipping a Brazil v Spain final. In 2010, the Spaniards didn't hammer teams into submission but just made sure they got the job done with a series of 1-0 scores (eight goals scored in seven games, only two conceded with no four clean sheets through the knock out stage) and I can see them doing similar through this tournament.
