I'm a fan of men in blazers but always assumed that most ilxors would find them insufferable.

I can tolerate them in small doses. Mainly I kind of think they're a weaker version of the British/Irish isles ILF cru.

It's a pity the best either of these sides could hope for is getting knocked out by Argentina, cos I'd love to see them take on the USA, or Costa Rica, or Chile...
CONCACAF qualifying, my friend. USA lost the first hex game at Honduras this year. They haven't won at Costa Rica since I've been paying attention. Those road games are brutal affairs.

Xabi Alonso retires, but will Gerrard have the self-awareness to follow him?

shockingly bad first touch on that break there
― pandemic, Saturday, 21 June 2014 16:18 (nine years ago) link
the last 2 years of di maria are something i didn't see coming. had him filed away as an explosive winger who would drift in and out of games.
― pandemic, Saturday, 21 June 2014 16:19 (nine years ago) link
ugh this has not been good
― Windsor Davies, Saturday, 21 June 2014 16:29 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, a slog. Hoping for a better second half.

the left back hasn't played one decent cross yet and when they go down the other flank they don't give it to zabaletta and instead cut inside to nowhere
― pandemic, Saturday, 21 June 2014 16:41 (nine years ago) link
So lacklustre and uninspired from Argentina. Starting to root for Iran.
― In the airplane over the .CSS (Le Bateau Ivre), Saturday, 21 June 2014 16:42 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, Iran actually makes a little something out of their set pieces when they get 'em.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 21 June 2014 16:49 (nine years ago) link
Iran have closed down Argentina extremely well but they look very vulnerable on the break.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 21 June 2014 16:49 (nine years ago) link
LB has put 2 good crosses in this half, I retract my criticism.
― pandemic, Saturday, 21 June 2014 17:10 (nine years ago) link
ooh so close for Iran

they've had a cpl of free headers too.

was that a pen?

ashkan losing his shit
wasn't a pen
― pandemic, Saturday, 21 June 2014 17:13 (nine years ago) link
that's a terrible miss from the corner
― pandemic, Saturday, 21 June 2014 17:14 (nine years ago) link
looks a pen from the other angle but maybe tough to give!
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 21 June 2014 17:14 (nine years ago) link
replay looks close on the pen but i thought zabs just about got his toe to the ball
Would've loved to see Reza score there. He grew up around my parts here, have seen him play once for a regional team.

wow what were the odds on an iranian offside

Maybe the world cup 2022 should be in Iran. They play a lot better than Qatar.

they'd cancel it if israel qualified

messi should've scored there..

argentina have given 150 mins of not much at all so far this WC
― pandemic, Saturday, 21 June 2014 17:19 (nine years ago) link
if we except that the majority of the Iran players aren't very good then you have to say that based on this and the Nigeria game Querioz is a heck of a coach.

Romero usually has one stinker every match. Not had it this match yet...

is aguero actually on the pitch?

Get Zabaleta off that pitch, he's giving away chance after chance.

banger of a match, this.
