Day 7: Portugal vs Morocco, Uruguay vs Saudi Arabia and Iran vs Spain

This game reminds me of King Poros fighting valiantly and beating Alexander the Great on the banks of the Jhelum. Why it reminds me of this, pray don't ask me. Those battles didn't involve the Persians. I just wanted to throw in a historical analogy of my own.
 
How does someone with the last name Resurrección end up using a shite nickname like Koke?
 
VAR really isn't ruining anything. The complaint I have is that it completely stops the game during some tense moments, but I'll take it over my team being jipped out of a result because the ref missed something blatant.

He didn't beat him. He lost. It's also Porus, not Poros. However, the legend is that Alexander was impressed enough he didn't take his kingdom. He then went to the Ganga, and his men said F this and turned around.
 
What a fiercely contested match this is! Iran are decent when they're not playacting

Wrong. He did beat him. History was rewritten there.
 
If only it didn't take a Spain goal for Iran to play like this, this would've been some game. Spain are no great shakes defensively.
 
Iran played well since they conceded. Why the hell they had waited for this to play ?
 
Iran can beat that boring ass Portuguese team if they show this spirit when they meet
 
Is Vasquez rated in Spain?

Seems like their Jesus Navas. A bit shit, but they don't have any other wide players.
 
?What's that
Mark out a square, about ten foot square.

10-15 lads and a tennis ball. One touch only and knock it about.

If it goes out, the last person to touch it gets kicked (as hard as possible) until they get out of the square.

Ideally, you try and ricochet it off someone/then out. Risk is it misses them, goes straight out and you get tw@tted.

Surprising how getting kicked improves your one touch skills.
