Fortunately, because everyone that hasn’t been paid to be there seems to have left. Because they don’t particularly like football.
We're up next then. Going for a drab, Algeria 2010 style, draw. Can't wait to get this one out the way tbh and at least our next 2 games are late ko's. Are we having separate match threads for Ingerland games or all in here?
Got a feeling we are going to come out strong. Hope so. Next two games are actually going to be really tough. Nice 4 or 5 nil will do
As I said earlier. Give us a female ref just to piss the Iranians off and to make a statement about the rights of women to be treated as equals.
Given that the Iranian captain made a statement today supporting the protesters, they might not be that fussed.
I don’t think anyone is in any position to be making political statements. The virtue signalling is getting tiring already to be honest. They should have shown the opening ceremony today instead of droning on with that hypocrisy
It might upset the country’s rulers though. Shaparak Khorsandi giving a comedic slant on the Iranian morality police.
