Day 7: Portugal vs Morocco, Uruguay vs Saudi Arabia and Iran vs Spain
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
Time wasting of highest order
Apparently along with Women being banned from watching football in Iran, so are the bee's and they are making the most of it now.
Come on Iran feck the haters!
great block
Yep.
Now this what you call parking the bus.
Hoping Iran don't get any further in this competition based on tonight 
This bus parking eyesore and play acting from the small teams can go do one. It's ruining it all.
Really classy from them. I could not believe my eyes.
They might be even worse.
And that's fine. I like to see goals though.
If El Trumpo is watching this he's already assembling a force to invade Iran, send a bunch of kids with peanut shooters and every graze on a Iranian soldier is a confirmed kill.
Somewhere, Mourinho is smiling
I thought that honour was held by Italy v Chile. At least according to Dave Coleman.
This is why the clock needs to be stopped whenever play has stopped.
This is how we're going to play next season. Are you not entertained?
Iran vs Argentina last world cup was better. They just kept knocking the Argies down and it was only Messi who managed to score via a FK at the 90. Just about scraped a win.
When Iran decide to defend, they mean business. And with 3 points in the bag, they don't even need to be adventurous. Portugal will struggle even more against them.
Is his management style the opposite of LvG's since he clashed with him for being put on the left wing, even though he won the Ballon d'Or in that position?
It is dumb that none of the Spanish players are willing to shoot from long range
This is pretty much a Mourinho training session from all accounts.
I still can't believe the ref stopped play after a Tunisia player went down after Trippier booted the ball in his side.
Kinda want Iran to concede a really scrappy own goal.
Stop moaning!
Iran can’t play like Spain. They are playing to their strength which just might keep them in the World Cup.

Iran doing what they need to do. Not there fault Spain can't score.
Vasquez is like a fish out of water in this Spain team
A draw here will keep Portugal ahead of them, no?
At least that match had actual physical assaults as opposed to the pretend ones this one has.
They won't, Ronaldo will score a bicycle kick from outside the area in some weird clearance
Iran would've parked the bus anyway but with 3 points in the bag after the first game, they've pretty much parked a tank.
Yep. i'm with you
Vuvuzelas are gross, I still remember WC2010 people swinging those around after blowing through them for long periods of time seeing accumulated spit fly out and land on other people.
I have no idea why people are talking so much crap here. We are playing one of the big favourites - what did you expect! Ffs ...
TBH Some of the dirty Spanish bastards like Diego Costa, Jordi Alba, Sergio Ramos, Busquets etc. are tasting their own medicine right now. They did the play acting to it's limits both in club & international games for years and now saw how frustrating it is.
The state of this. It’s like Chelsea v Barcelona 2012 but to an even greater extreme.
Portugal-Iran will have the potential to the worst match of the tournament by far. Both teams will leave the ball in the center of the pitch without trying to take it.
