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.

Well, Messi saved me 3 points.



Having 9 players defending, never seeing more than 1/3 of field for nearly the entire match and literally relying on 2 (albeit fast) players to counterattack suddenly means your team deserved to win? Give me a break.

Do I think Argentina deserved it? No they played bad, other than Messi and Di Maria the team was nonexistant. Aguero and Higuain were horrible once again missing every assist by Messi ( just like the Bosnia match). At this point is clear that if Messi doesn't shoot to goal himself Argentina won't win.

The fairest score for this incredibly mediocre match was 0 - 0.

Yeah because any other team would have done so much better, right? I'm not saying argentina played well, but to say iran deserved t win is just crazy. The put up a barricade! i doubt any other team would have penetrated it so easily.

Unless you count that other game against Ghana last cup :P

It happened last world cup. Germany and Ghana were in the same group.
