Just in case anyone missed it. I don't like Mount.

Just thinking Spain could have trouble with Morocco as well. They didn't play badly today against Portugal..
Interesting group.

Shame for Iran that they were drawn in his group. They've still got a chance of course but looking at this I would back them to get out of most groups.

This game reminds me of King Poros fighting valiantly and beating Alexander the Great on the banks of the Jhelum. Why it reminds me of this, pray don't ask me. Those battles didn't involve the Persians. I just wanted to throw in a historical analogy of my own.
Ah see you've broken the rule. let me show you.

Ahem:

Spain's defence was all out of shape like Les Demoiselles d'Avignon.
or
Iran's hope is declining faster than zoroastrianism.

Also I've become too self conscious now to carry this game on any further.

A bit annoying that three teams are out already after the 2nd round in group A/B. Hope the other groups will live on a bit longer.
