Iran vs Portugal (Group B) - 19:00 - 25/06/2018

[imposs1904]

Still no 0-0 in the tournament so far.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Problem is slow motion, no? I thought refs had been coached about that - slow motion makes things look more deliberate than they are.

Suarez versus Ronaldo, what a treat

Pepe vs Suarez

 

[JimW]

VAR and the ref will get loads but the worst decision was not giving Iran the penalty that Carvalho should have given away, and not sending Ronaldo off.

Seriously don't think he swung at him at all

 

[nuffsaid]

Lineker is the only one with hair - get on trend Gary...

 

[Steel Icarus]

Ronaldo has been a lucky bastard. Iran could have snatched that at the death there, and he might have been sent off for catching that Iranian defender with his arm while having a clenched fist

I do!

The ref did, but to give him a yellow card for it made zero sense. Either he didn't do it or he did, in which case that is a straight red.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Really not sure about that Iran penalty.

 

[belboid]

No chance of a post facto ban for Ronaldo,

Still no 0-0 in the tournament so far.

pretty good chance France-Denmark will be.

 

[Voley]

Great game. Anyone know wtf happened?

I think it was the ridiculous amount the Iranian lad leaned in meant he more put his head where the arm was going

 

[The Octagon]

Quite funny watching Lineker worry that Shearer's after his presenting gig

 

[The39thStep]

Game of two VAR penalties there. Anyway onwards and upwards for Portugal . There's been a good ten minutes of Iran supporters crying on Portuguese TV .

 

[planetgeli]

Great game. Anyone know wtf happened?

It’s gone to VAR.

 

[Fez909]

Ronaldo has missed 6 of his 14 penalties for Portugal

Pfft, nae fuckin' chance.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ronaldo has missed 6 of his 14 penalties for Portugal

And 40+ free kicks. Lad's fer shite.

There was a surprising stat for Messi as well. He's taken about 80 in his career and missed about 20 of them.

They're no Matt Le Tissier.

funnily enough, i [re]watched one of Le Tiss's highlight reels again the other day. What a fucking player.

Wish we had HD footage of these goals...Doesn't feel that long ago but old Prem footage is shocking:

What in the fuck is Merse playing at?!

 

[Fez909]

Was curious as to who's got the best record currently. Seems to be Fabinho (Liverpool's new signing), in Europe at least.

19 scored
1 missed

 

[Fez909]

What in the fuck is Merse playing at?!

He was awful wasn't he?

 

[Lord Camomile]

He was awful wasn't he?

I mean, I don't think he was taking it completely seriously, but still...

RTP which is the sort of equivalent of BBC/ITV just opened their news programme with the leader of the Socialist Party talking about Portugal going through to the next round .
