    Am a little surprised Reza isnt playing, he's a quick player so surely be useful to hit Morocco on the counter attack

    He is normally on the bench for Iran

    Idiot, knew the moment he got the ball stuck between his legs that the chance had gone

    Have no words for that second moment for Iran

    Morocco started much stronger but it is anybody's game now. I'm quite enjoying it as it feels like a must win for both of these teams!

    Refs seem to be ignoring the diving so Reza has had to work on a plan B

    It is a must win really

    If it goes by the quality of the squads then you'd expect Spain to win tonight along with their remaining Group games

    Whoever wins this one can then draw with Portugal and potentially qualify for the next round thanks to Goal Difference

    Group A followed by this tie was probably the worst possible start in terms of quality

    This has probably been the best game yet, both countries have plenty to play for.

    Egypt v Uruguay should have been the best game on paper yet has been the worst to watch

    Russian game and this one were supposed to be awful yet have been excellent to watch, i'm not expecting a thriller tonight either, reckon it'll be a tight game for the most part

    First half was decent with a few chances each way, but this second half has been dismal

    I’m sure the 7pm game will deliver something

    Game appears to have the tempo of a Premier League game with the skill / shooting of a Conference match

    Dismal second half indeed. Hardly any threatening attacking play and Iran have come with a tactic of killing the game and trying to nick a goal late.

    both teams look knackered now tbh think the pace of the first half was too much for them

    Moroccans should be able to deal with it better than the Iranian players, you'd think, with 20 of the 23 playing for European teams.

    You'd think so but there have been 3 very tired misplaced passes into touch in the last 5 minutes from Morrocan players.

    No idea what Iran's tactic is here? Wasting time for a 0-0 draw makes no sense. They hoping to pick up points against Spain and Portugal?

    Just seen footage of a bear in the back of a jeep playing a vuvuzeala, cruel fuckers, think it may kick off once they have been knocked out.

    A billion dollars well spent for a stadium that has reduced views in the top corners.

    Carlos Queiroz has been attacked by many Iranian fans for his negative tactics, today certainly backs that up

  • Very low quality game even in first half but first half had chances

    it's all getting a bit embarrassing now. This is supposed to be their job... all of them have been out on their feet since the 60th minute.

    Even when it looks like it’s going to boil over it’s anticlimactic

    11 men behind the ball and little to no pressure when you're nil nil and have to win. I'd be very annoyed if I was an Iranian fan.

    Poor standard. Get used to this if they expand to 48 teams.
