    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?

    Carlos Queiroz has been attacked by many Iranian fans for his negative tactics, today certainly backs that up
    What do I know :blush:

    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.

    Ahem

    That's got to be the first team out already surely... Spain and Ronaldo will tear these two sides apart.

    First two teams out. Iran will get pulverised by both.

    Both games finished in a similar way. A silly late free kick given away, the cross comes in and is met by an unstoppable header!

    Huge anticipation here for the Spain - Portugal game so hope it lives up to the expectations. First game of the tournament so far with world class players so should be a good one. The debacle surrounding Spain's coach has added an extra dimension which makes it very difficult to predict but reckon Spain should just about edge it. Either way, really looking forward to it.

    Spain team is good, but not formidable, defintely a few weaknesses in that side

    Be upset if that was given against us. But soft.

    Even though I dislike Ronaldo glad he stuck it past DeGea after that little bit of gamesmanship. I would have gone up to DeGea and stood in front of him after banging it in.

    How is Murphy saying that was a pen, clear dive.

    No doubt the people stuck up Ronaldos arse will say it was a clear pen

    He was going over before contact was made. Should have been booked.
    And Murphy is a twat.

    Great start from a neutral perspective though, Spain will have to go at them now no time for being cagey or feeling each other out.

    Nacho wasn’t going for the ball. Soft maybe but he gave the ref something to think about.

    Diego Costa really doesn't fit in well with the style of the rest of the team.
