I see no reason we shouldn't be able to defeat Ghana, but the second group  match against non-joke opponents does often seem to cause us problems. Still cautiously optimistic.

Well, 0-0 at the half of this one is certainly a shocker.

Not really, Iran is very good defensively.

And Argentina is incredibly overrated, IMO. They just have a very easy path to the quarterfinals.

Iran conceded a very low number of goals in their qualifying.

Underdogs are allowed to play defensively. And there's nothing cynical about Iran in this game.

Argentina doesn't deserve to win this match IMO. They did a very poor job of executing their chances. Iran did an incredible job of defending against a much larger team, were denied an obvious penalty, and managed to catch the Argentinian defense with their pants down on numerous occasions.

Cruel result, Iran outplayed Argentina for long stretches there. Deserved a point. Sad

Argentina has been outplayed by Bosnia and now Iran. This doesn't bode well for them.

It looks to me on the replay as if Zabaleta kicked the ball and the non-penalty was the correct call.

Yeah sort of. There have been worse 2nd games for us, though. We do need to improve...
