Iran just for chaos
My gummy-bear died. My unicorn ran away. My imaginary friend got kidnapped. The voices in my head wont talk to me.
I've got a red bull. So I got that going for me.

How can you not root for New Zealand. The true underdogs as the lowest ranked team in the tournament plus their country is awesome

Are the Iranian players anti-Islamic republic / anti-government revolutionary types? Or pro Ayatollah types?

I'm leaning New Zealand as a rooting interest here, but don't know much about either side.

I'm shocked Iran got booed in California I figured they'd be pro anyone that hated America

think they're hoping the rugby mojo will rub off on them.

That first touch by #9 on the goal kick by the NZ GK was class.

There was nothing in that one if you're referring to the shoulder charge in the box.

Frantic pace to this match to start off. Highly entertaining. Iran hits woodwork- should have been level

a solid #9 doesn't need blazing speed as good hold up game is vitally important for the position

looked like to me there was some going through the legs as well as a shove. but it does seem it is not being called tight at all.

As the prototypical fan who only watches soccer during the World Cup, I prefer this to the ref calling a foul everytime a player flops. Watching a guy fall down, grab his leg withering in pain, only to immediately pop up and start running again is one of the worst parts of soccer. I like when the ref just looks at the guy and says, "Quit being a little *****."

Early frantic pace couldn't be kept up?

NZ GK off his line then indecisive choosing not to attack that ball

Great match so far

That's a suh-wing and a miss for the New Zealand player.

I agree. the only 2 things I dislike about soccer are the rolling around on the ground and the time wasting in throw ins etc. but overall I enjoy the game.

it reminded me of the Adam Sandler album in the 90s. "Big whiffa"

They've pretty much eliminated the time wasting on throw ins this World Cup. The rolling around on the ground thing can be ridiculous but I also think people that didn't play soccer don't quite realize how painful getting kicked with cleats can be.
