[Football] Persia v Spain (ITV)

[Weststander]

Tyldesley and Hoddle on a mission to talk up Iran, and criticise Spain.

On stadium noise, Tyldesley says he's never heard such noise in the group stages. I remember the crap racket of Vuvuzela's at South Africa games 8 years ago.

The refs a bit of a theatrical diva.

A style based on Chaplin's Great Dictator.

You are right, atmosphere is absolutely ruined by the Vuvuzela racket. 10 times worse than clackers even.

I see 'our' winger is on the bench.

Haha, just said that to my lad.

 

[dangull]

Racism due to the Iranians not being all Persians.

I only opened this thread to see how 'our winger' was doing

Good to see the Iranian ladies in the crowd ditching their burkas and hijabs.

I can't watch the game with that god awful noise-ADHDers will know why. What does that shit bring to the game? It is worse than bagpipes. Over to Great Indian Rail Journeys with Michael Portillo.

They arent allowed to go to matches in Iran

Spain would potentially be in a lot of trouble if they don’t win this. Vuvuzelas reminding me how good they are at totally destroying at atmosphere.

Yep, this is a good advert for allowing it.

Pundits having a go at Iran for play acting. Fair enough, but Spain are as bad as anyone going, so not sure why Ian Wright is desperate for Spain to beat Iran because of it.

 

[Megazone]

Very smart tactics by Iran. Get to halftime level, make Spain feel like they have complete control of the game and then unleash Alireza Jahanaskashkebabkoshbashbosh on them. 3-0 to Iran. Let the slaughter commence.

Persia? Is this the 19th Century?

This one really could go either way.

Edit: Blimey. It actually nearly did.

The match is only being played on one third of the pitch now, might as well plant spuds down the Spanish end.
