    The heavyweight titans collide. Two world cup contenders battle it out here.

    I disagree. Has the potential to be quite bonkers. The biggest problem it is is that it's up against GoT.

    For me it'll be the first half of this, then GoT.

    And you know this how? One thing the opening games should have taught the casual observer is, expect the unexpected.

    This could be an intriguing clash of styles, with Iran almost certain to try for the draw and Nigeria by no means certain to break them down.

    If Iran go for a draw here, they're stupid, as this is their most winnable game. Both will attack. Both know three points is crucial. Both are ****e at the back. Should be good.

    Yep. I've watched at least 75% of every match so far, and, for me, the least entertaining was Argentina v Bos-Herze, with Mexico v Cameroon giving it a run for it's money. I wouldn't have thought that, given the line up of games. Maybe it was because of expectation, I don't know, but there it is.

    The best one was Holland v Spain, but Costa Rica v Uruguay was right up there.

    I'll be watching. It's the World Cup. Once every 4 years you are forgiven for watching non-stop football.

    If John Obi Mikel wants that golden boot he needs at least a couple from this game

    Iran kept more clean sheets in qualifying than anyone else, while Nigeria's goal tally was the lowest of any side who made it to Brazil. There we go. It will be a **** game.
