[MHSN 3,619]

Parking the bus so far, a very big one. didn't expect anything else against the best players in the world.

 

but Rezaeian and Beiranvand's acting was disgusting. no need to exaggerate anything

damn...you just missed out on Italia90...

then you would change all of your personal rankings (especially the negative ones...e.g. the world cup with the most empty stadiums, the world cup with the ugliest stadiums, the world cup with the most boring games, the world cup with the most corrupted refs...oh, no...wait...that was in 2002..."Moreno & friends" forever )...

Yes,i missed that one. 

2002 wasnt that bad,at least we saw some good matches.  I vividly recall Germany - Arabia.  Ok,referees were terrible,Korea and Turkey played extemelly ugly football and still were in 1/2. 

But this WC,every team just want to break the game. Its very similar how Greece won 2004 EC. Playing total defence. Every football fan despises that phylosophy.

Now we have 25 teams that are playing like Greece. 

8 matches finished 1-0. Many goals were scored after stoppage.

We might miss Spain,Germany,Argentina,even Brazil after group stage. Cmon...

Tragic low level of WC.

Can someone give an Oscar to the Iranian goalie?  (yeah I'm a little behind, I meant that moment where he pretended like Diego Costa just committed a terrorist attack on his legs)

411 passes for Spain in the first half, this is insanely ineffective game-play

maybe but it is till very effective. Iran now 135 minutes without conceding a single goal at the WC, that´s something pretty noticeable

It is a bad WC because the top nations doing bad? I think it's good for the sport if other teams get the chance sometimes. It's boring if the same teams wins all the time I think.

cool, Beiravand looks alive 

[heywoodu 15,135]

I was convinced that went in the goal, damn 

[heywoodu 15,135]
