World Cup Match Thread Day 10 - Saturday

[nightgoat]

Great atmosphere...

 

[yankspurs]

Iran executing the park the bus strategy really well

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Close from Aguero - they have to score soon.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Silly thing to do!

 

[nidge]

I do like Iran's new formation. I call it the 10.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Chance now with the free kick.

 

[nidge]

In other news Ian Bell has reached 50 in the test match.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Iran's tactics are working so far. Everyone packs into their own half and two or three players on Messi most of the time.

I don't think it will work throughout the game though, eventually Argentina will break through.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

73% possession for the Argies.

 

[Greenspur]

Messi crap so far (that should lead to a goal from him).

 

[CosmicHotspur]

0-0 at half time? Not what I expected at all.

It's the world cup. No surprise.

How can a front four of Di Maria, Aguero, Messi and Higuain be so turgid?

 

[nidge]

Just put money on Iran to get the draw. It was Cash out on the bet so hopefully they make it to at least 60 minutes at 0 -0 and I might just make a little money.

They don't play for each other.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Have to give Iran some credit for containing them so effectively.

 

[Amo]

0-0

0-0

 

[CosmicHotspur]

0-0

Ah, but it's only half time.

 

[Guangzhouspur]

I can't believe no-one's mentioned the Iranian keeper's black leather gloves! Kinky.

 

[Reece]

Higuain's touch has looked as bad as Rooney's in major tournaments.
