This match actually makes FIFA rankings not look so mental with how even its been and it’s teams #19 & 20.

I still think FIFA rankings are bullshit though xD

This is like watching Cardiff City.

Trying to play it pretty at times but with no end product. Other than the Moore chance, we've done nothing so far. 

The Iran goal was correctly disallowed, but they've had the better chances so far. Need another kick up the arse.

Never knew Joe Allen could be so needed in a Wales side. The defence needs protecting, but at the same time Wilson, Bale & Moore need better and more service.

Woah Iran hit both posts in a matter of seconds, and then Hennessey makes a brilliant reflex save from a headed rebound.

Wales have been so wasteful with their set-pieces, which is usually their strength. They've had free-kicks in dangerous positions, but wasted them. Their final ball has been lacking, despite having most of the possession. Iran have looked much more organised defensively and they look compact and always eager to take the opportunity to counter when it comes. Moore though with his first half chance in front of goal, should have scored. Either side of the keeper from that range and it would have been a goal, instead it was straight at the goalie who blocked it. His effort was the best chance of the 1st half.

Surprised no Iranian has been booked yet. Been at least 2-3 challenges which deserve it.

Iran having more chances in this 2nd half, Wales need to wake up and have more urgency about them. Looks hot out there, maybe that's taking its toll, the heat doesn't suit European sides. There shouldn't be any excuses though. Ramsey needs to get more involved.

The referee has been way too soft. He's Guatemalan I believe, probably used to so many fouls happening in Central America, that he doesn't book. Different refereeing style to European refs.

Wales hugely under the cosh. Absolutely no midfield, even just to kill the Iran tempo.

Definitely denies a clear goalscoring opportunity by making the foul.

Forget about that mate, knee to the face is a red regardless lol

I'd say it's more for the high leg than a clear goalscoring opportunity as there was cover.

Regardless, that's fucked us now. We're out.

Think that should be a red. Dangerous play as well as being last man.

I know. Mentioned in the post above :) 

@Bluebird Hewitt why worry? Ward comes on for you and he's in the best form of his life. You'll be fine.

James is a good sub for Wales because pretty much nobody has pace on Iran

Speaking from experience, he's most definitely not xD
