Agree.

Though VAR has had a noticeable effect on the increased number of pelanties awarded.

He's Spain's Andros Townsend.

Without the screamers.

Isco sends it sky high.

No idea why Koke was dropped for Vasquez.

Ansarifard hits the side netting!

Tyldesley. :haha:

Iran 0-1 Spain, Diego Costa!

Looked an OG but maybe not.

The idea to go for a more attacking player seems fine.

It's just that Vasquez is crap.

Spain ruin the World Cup.

What a pub goal! :haha:

Costa - game over

FFS The Caveman scores.

THat was pretty good.

ANOTHER ugly goal.

Scratch that, it was a fluke.

Another OWN GOAL though!

This WC :haha::haha:

That one wasn't an own goal, it was however leathered against Diego Costa and he knew nothing about it.

Spain end up fluking one in after a trillion passes. :sleep:

I think they should grade teams pre- tournament and in matches like this make Spain start 1-0 down - it would make it much more fun :)

Like the way that iranian player told ramos to f**k himself :haha:

1-1!!!!

No???

Maybe not!

VAR!

Iran 1-1 Spain!!!! :haha:

:haha:

Uh oh, here comes VAR.

Ruled out?

:haha::haha:

Oh my days.

Goal disallowed, fuck this World Cup!

Disallowed

Fuck off VAR

Damn - what a bummer - bloody VAR

Time to outlaw VAR.

FFS. So unlucky.

Hierro thinks he's just out for a party with the boys given how he is instructing Koke.

This kind of s**t only happens to minnow teams - Iran should nuke Russia for this

Safi off, Mohammadi on.

What a fucking scramble! :haha:

CHAOS :bow:.

Old Man Iniesta off, Koke on.

Ansarifad off, Jahanbakhsh on.

So close for Taremi!

So close :doh:

Perfect tackle and it's a foul :lol:

Modern football:lol:
