Portugal game has been terrible so far. I'm only watching because a) the possibility of an upset is in the cards, and b) there's always a chance Ronaldo does something spectacular. Pretty bad set of games today - hopefully tomorrow kicks the quality up a notch.

The Spanish teams awareness in possession is just on another level, every touch and pass is weighted perfectly

Iran's forwards are very neat passers, both here and vs Spain. No edge though.

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

Has there even been a chance for either team so far in Iran v Portugal. It's pretty poor so far

Playing total crap. Happy with a draw by the looks of it
Nah, just unable to do better. Iran has a very deep backline and we lack creativity to get through it. Players are clearly feeling some urge to attack, but don't know how.

There is zero urgency. William is virtually playing as a 3rd cb. They aren't playing any risky through balls.

Oh what a a goal

Typical outside of the boot goal from Quaresma!
