Morocco are the first team out of the tournament!
 
Unlucky for Morocco, they played well in both games but failing to score will not help you get through.

Iran will try to defend against Spain but I dont think they are good enough against arguably the best attacking line up in the competition.

I find myself in an awkward situation..

My wife is Iranian and so my kids are backing Iran..
So here I am sat with all my inlaws trying to keep positive but knowing that a thrashing might be on its way &#55357;&#56883;

Iran and their fans should be proud of reaching the finals and also winning a game. The longer they can hold on, the more pressure will be on Spain who need a win here. However I would get the dinner finished asap as imo Spain could run riot here tonight. :)
 
Spain 0-0 Iran at Half-Time. Some serious defending by Iran.
 
Yep so far so good...

Icing on the cake, and yes I know it would be miracle, but a Ramos own goal &#55357;&#56883;
 
Iran almost scored but then alas they let one in straight away
 
Bit of fortune for Spain but it was coming.

Iran should attack hard now, not much to lose if they concede another 2 or 3 now.
 
What drama, Iran put the ball in the net but VAR says hold on mate, you're offside.

fun game. :yk
 
Man how well have Iran played?!?!?!

Brilliant stuff from them whatever the outcome.

Roy Keane can take his comments about cheating and shove it where it hurts
 
Spain hang.

One of the best 1-0 one sided games I've seen. The way Iran defended was brilliant, they deserved a draw at least here.

Iran to beat Portugal anyone? :)

Spain up against a good Morocco side who will attack hard.

This group is still wide open.

1-0 to Spain.

Morocco have one of the worst defences in the tournament. Very well played Iran though.

They conceded a late goal against Iran and an early one against Portugal. They outplayed both nations imo. Of course Spain are far superiour on their day but Morocco can score and if they do get the early goal, the pressure will be on Spain esp if Iran and Portugal draw. (If they play first, not sure tho)
 
Morocco was really hard done by the US Referee today - denied at least one penalty, could have been even 2. They conceded both goals at either end of the game, but dominated Iran & was probably better against Portugal. Morocco didn't deserve to leave the WC as first team.

I read, the Referee asked for CR's shirt in first half, during the game was on, which is disgraceful if true.
