Sublime diving header own goal to gift Iran a 95th minute winner. :smile:

It's not been Morocco's week, what with this and missing out on the world cup bid.

Good luck to anyone who sat through both of those games this afternoon!

Hopefully better fare tonight!

 

[AndyT]

I must say, this is marvelous entertainment! :thumbsup:

Great free kick! Ronaldo has been brilliant.

 

[AndyT]

Terrific match, that!

What a great game that was :clap: Spain threw it by taking Costa off in my opinion.

More like De Gea spilt it.

Ronaldo was at his irritating best last night, awesome display.

Still never scored against us though :-)

He will if he gets the chance.Especially after last night's display.

Think Floval is referring to Southend, Tangles.

Knowing Ronaldo's attitude, that wouldn't surprise me. (I think Ronaldo is arrogant - but also the best footballer the world has ever seen).

Argentinas attacking,even with Messi,was too much like ours...harmless.

Got friends over from Perth so we all went to walkabout fir the aussie game. So unlucky but a top performance, Trent Sainsbury was outstanding, to think he wanted a trial here years ago when he was over but got no response from the club

Yep, I thought of you and how you'd tried to get him a trial when I saw how well he was playing.

The standard has improved so much. Other than Saudi Arabia there are no duff teams. Teams are organised, players are technically proficient. I suspect football can now support a 48 team competition. Whether the format works is another thing though...

We haven't seen half of the teams in the tournament play yet.Didn't think Nigeria were much cop, from what I saw of the highlights of their game with Croatia yesterday.

 

[ozzie]

Nigeria and Costa Rica were poor,lets hope England do a lot better!!

Germans 0-1 down to Mexico at half time. An upset on the cards?

Mexico could have had 3 or 4 that half, they look like a real threat going forwards.
