    Not to mention Reza is probably the only one in the team to have scored in the World Cup

    Can’t fault Iran for effort, just no quality in the final third like loads of teams this WC

    Spain are bloody infuriating to watch tonight. Walking pace. No urgency. Silly back heels and flicks around the box when surrounded by defenders. Football ain't as hard as you are making it you twats. Get it to the byline and whip in a cross for fucks sake. RUN with the flaming ball don't just stop and lazily swing your leg for a pass.


    Can you tell I need a Spain win tonight... lol

    Glad they are bloody losing now to be honest its all they deserve.

    Can’t give a red for that. Even if it is Ronaldo

    Disgusting there from Iran. The player is deliberately trying to hold off Ronaldo then when Ronaldo accidentally trips him he goes down and holds his head. If VAR give anything from this I will be forever baffled

    Not one Iran player bar Reza of the current crop has scored at a World cup.

    Owen Goal has 1 for them this world cup Vs Morocco.

    PLUS

    THAT'S GOTTA BE A RED.

    But when you rewind it does look like a four arm smash.

    Ronaldo bricking it. He knows it was a foul. It was clearly intentional....

    And he gets a yellow!

    If you think that’s an elbow it’s a red

    Some of these refs are way out of their depth

    Bottled that decision

    Either its a red card or isnt a foul

    Not direct enough. Incredibly frustrating. They're a mess defensively. Maguire, Stones and Kane would destroy them on set-pieces.

    Now if you were Portugal, would you let Iran score twice?

    Had that been someone other than Ronaldo would that have been a Red?

    Means that Iran would win the Group and so give Portugal a game against Uruguay

  • Blimers Spain, you need to liven up sharpish if you want to do anything in this tournament! Been so, so poor by their standards so far.

    Doesn’t matter who it was - there is no way that was a red card.

    You can't be serious, the intent was clear look at the replay, no interest in any ball anywhere. Just a blatant Izale McLeod moment.
  • If Spain defend like this against Uruguay they've got no chance.

    Can't wait to see Ramos and Suarez kick lumps out of each other.

    Why the hell play Costa if they are going to play that way as well? What's the point? He needs directness - a long ball over the top or something. Just every once in a while. Costa must be fuming looking at Kane, Lukaku Ronaldo etc and the service they get - he got NO help tonight

    Not in a million years was that a Red. Don't think it was a yellow either. But seen plenty of softer yellows.

    Spain goal disallowed, offside. Looked onside at first glance... it's with VAR...
