The Palace Fan Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 With everybody looking forward to the late game. I imagine it will be a game where Spain have lots of possession but Portugal are structured enough defensively to hold it. Could be an underwhelming day given the other two teams are better at defending too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither will want to go up against Spain or Portugal needing to take maximum points. Good point that. I forgot Hakim Ziyech chose to represent Morocco. He could be the differential.

Portugal vs Iran is a nailed on 0-0, as is vs Morocco. Spain will probably beat them too. I can see them being disappointing in this tournament.

Azeem Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Both 0-0 draws or a 0-1 win in either game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ Posted June 15, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted June 15, 2018 Going to miss Morocco v Iran sadly. I say sadly in a deadly serious way as well, these kinds of games can often be decent, anyone who fails to win in the game is basically out. With them only conceding a goal between them in qualifying, I expected this to be a banker 0-0 draw, but I think a draw won't do either much good in this game so they'll be forced to attack. Spain v Portugal is just impossible to call. I'll be annoyed if Spain win convincingly though as that'll mean they've overcome a real test early doors in spite of all the bollocks that's happened with them lately - meaning my decision to cash out on them winning the trophy may be a wrong one. Ah my god the World Cup. I absolutely love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I'll be missing Spain vs Portugal. Same time as the class I missed the last 2 weeks. Feel like that's the second WC that's happened, I missed Netherlands vs Spain last time. If this ends in a thrashing I'll be pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASF Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I'm usually realistic about our chances, in any tournament. I was confident of a good result before the Lopetegui saga. But now, I'm confident it's our game to lose. It's without arrogance that I say that we'll win this one. 2-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I can see it already - Uruguay is going to try and provoke a Salah injury tomorrow. They are a very indirectly provocative. Think of the Suarez bite on Chiellini a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Artful Dodger Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Things could open up quite nicely for Portugal with a win tonight, which seems more likely now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 It would be really great if Iran could get a win, but so far (granted it's just been 2 matches) each side I've wanted to win has lost Break the trend Team Melli (please) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Got Money on Morocco to do well and I reckon they will surprise a few. Watched them through qualifiers and they are very organised as a unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I'm a bit worried this will end 0-0. In the qualifiers, neither of them conceded many goals. Actually I think Morocco didn't concede any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Both teams are VERY defensive. I've not watched Morocco any time lately, I'm basing that off their qualification statistics. But Iran play like a low budget Portugal. Chances are high that this will be an ugly match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Iran with a different setup to normal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6666 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Morocco have more talent going forward with Ziyech & Belhanda creating the chances. That'll get them the win in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Fun fact: my family always sung the pre-revolution Iranian national anthem for the Iran football matches over the new one. So I'm doing that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right before the revolution she left with her brother to live with her aunt who was living in exile in England. Shortly after, their parents and another brother (older than them by a bit though- he lives in Tehran now, but he's lived all over the place; cool guy) followed along with a lot of the rest my family.

Yeah I'm cheering them on, I've always liked their national team - even though it's not very good lol. But if they were playing England, I'd want England to destroy them.
