It’s interesting that Spain camp is talking about scoring against Iran in the first few minutes. Hopefully that means they think the result is a forgone conclusion.

Don’t you just love it when we are the UnderCheetas!

^ Yeah, Isco sounded pretty cocky in his interview - like the guy and don't blame him but all the better for us.

BTW Hierro looks like he hasn't shaved or taken a shower for days and he said he has barely slept since arriving in Russia!

Poor guy stepped in to help (I think originally to mediate) and now his head will be served in a special Andalusian Kaleh Pacheh!

From Hierro to Zero!

You must feel for him, he’s really dropped himself in it. In matter of days he’s got to train the team with his own tactics and same time do his homework on the group teams, learn and prepare for games against the oppositions. These are just the two fundamentals - there are lots of incidentals.

We say it as a joke usually but it is not a joke - Spain might be the one team that could perform decently without a coach.

they don't call it UEFAlona or Penaldo for nothing man
no penalty no party
Mexico federation just got fined $30,000 because their fans called Neuer a puto after every goal kick. thats been a mexican tradition for decades and they just now wanna fine them? something tells me that mexico wasn't supposed to win that match
FIFA is a business not a sports governing body. thats why they have a bid for world cup host instead of having an all time host. its more beneficial for them if Iran does not advance. thats why we can't be put in a position that allows the refs to choose the winners. it will happen if we have 3 or 4 points vs portugal as they will either have 2, 4, or 1 point going into the match and will need a win to advance. this game vs spain is a must win for us

I was “jokingly” saying for us to match fix because with 1 win we get out of this group.

[Martin-Reza]

Will we play in red? As we are the homeside and can choose, I think Queiroz will force Spain to use their white away shirts...

It's official, we will wear the red.

[Tehranto]

This game is infinitely harder than the Morocco game. I don't expect points, but we have no choice but to be hopeful.

Masoud captain again.

Iran win will pay 19.50. Tie a 7.

This is going to be a miracle if we win or tie.

[Bi-honar]

To the amigos that are struggling to stay positive about this match:

The last time Iran was down to a team at the end of 90 minutes in an official match was against Bosnia nearly 4 years ago to the day!!!

If it's going to take Spain and giants to try and end that record, I say bring them on!

[Bessos]

THIS IS WHERE WE FIGHT.
