[Maldini]

I will be cheering for the Iranians

 

Two average teams though.

[Benitez]

shame this one is on the Beeb, and not ITV.

 

Would love it if Borgetti got a hattrick, and Fat Sam was squirming in the ITV studio when being asked why he never played him

[Guest Jack Bauer]

I'd like to hear David Pleat trying to pronounce the namse.

[Maldini]

"Because we had the best English forward in the league in Kevin Davies" would probably be his answer

[_00_deathscar]

Not 'looking forward' to either game.

 

Very average round today - infact group stages in general are shyte- SCRAP EM!

 

O dear...looking forward to it even less now.

 

'Balboa' is commentating for ABC

[BDB]

balboa is scary looking..

 

Smashing looking stadium.

[Guest Scot]

I will be cheering for the Iranians

 

Two average teams though.

 

Mexico are top 5 in the world!

 

[Guest Scot]

Iran's nuclear missiles are aimed south from Washington to Mexico City

[BDB]

Nicely worked setpiece..

 

Mexico 1-0..

Bravo with the goal.

 

Iran appealing for offside.

[_00_deathscar]

It was a long time coming.

 

Iran have threatened once in a while though, especially Madhavekhia (sp) - weren't we after him in Houllier's 2nd last year?

 

Also, it's not the worst game ever, it's half decent - certainly better than England Paraguay.

 

Also, how shyte are those rankings?

 

PPS - Mexico have been ripping down that ring wing a lot.

 

PPPS - Marquez's tackling is excellent.

[Guest Sabre]

1 all. Good effort by Iran. Kept going at it.

[BDB]

oh now it's on..

 

like donkey kong

 

1-1

 

Another goal from a set piece.

[_00_deathscar]

PPPPS - WTF are these w*** commentators on about? Basically they're saying if you lose on penalties, you don't really 'lose' - it's a draw game (They're talking about Mexico in 1986 and saying their record was 3-2-0 - WDL)

 

IRAN SCORES!!! YEA!

 

Shyte keeping.

 

Apparently there is a player on the Iran team (number 13) who can run the 100m in under-10 s.

[Guest Scot]

I wish they'd stop talking about politics

[_00_deathscar]

To be fair, better that than the shyte that is spouted from their mouth when they talk about football.

 

I also wish they'd stop talking about the rankings - purely because they're utter shyte.

 

Madhavhikia can't cross.

[Guest Scot]

Here we go again with the politics...SHUT UP, DIV!

[_00_deathscar]

The level of passing and crossing in the World Cup so far seems to be shyte.

 

Be interesting to see Spain and Brazil play their first game.

 

Here we go again with the politics...SHUT UP, DIV!

 

 

Half time.

[FakeNewsBear]

who is the guests with gary linekar ......... who is the long haired guy

[Benitez]

who is the guests with gary linekar ......... who is the long haired guy

 

Leonardo

[Guest Scot]

Is he talking in code?

[Benitez]

Dunno, but he's sinking fast.

[FakeNewsBear]

cheers some t*ts said it was robbie savage

[BDB]

lol... code

 

Borgetti has gone off injured, and with the mexicans already making a double substituion at half time, all subs are used up.

 

Borgetti going off might encourage Iran to try and push on for a 2nd goal.

 

Pretty slow start to the 2nd half.
