Wow so much envy and ignorance here. Specially from Carl. England played bad every minute of this world cup, get over it. As for Iran, how the f*** did they deserve to win when all they did was defend and throw the ball to our defenders the whole match??? Argentina did not play bad at all, it's just that Iran put up a wall.
We deserved to win, we were much better than Iran the entire match. You people are just jelous.

Envy? Sure. Ignorance? Ha.

Iran were robbed. Iran we are talking about here, just pushed Argentina to the 90th minute, made 3-4 clear cut goal scoring chances and were denied a penalty.

Argentina were lucky, thats all that there is to it. Better team sure, but they really did not deserve 3 points.

They were not robbed. That was not a penalty. There is no objective way of proving that Iran played better. They were huge underdogs and put up a great fight against a team which many people expect to go very far in the tournament and that's why people feel bad for them and are saying they played better. In reality no they did not play better. They defended well and had a few very close chances, but they did not play better.
