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!
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.
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.

If Spain play England they would win because they would turn Walker, McQuire and Stones inside out plus we are half decent.
edit beat me to it Callum lol
Their final match with
RonaldoPortugal could be quite interestingGuess it'll help if Portugal win 1-0 and Spain win 2-1 in the last round of Games if it comes to that
Also, Iran really should have tried to play from the beginning they've certainly been no mugs going forward!
Probably comes down to simple alphabetical listings

Lost count the number of times I've seen them on the floor fine, spot the ref looking and then starting rolling in agony.
