Summing up Iran: Defensively very poor, offensively lightweight! They'd better look for another goalie. Good game to Mexico.
1835: LPArsenal
Catalogue of errors for the third goal of the game. Keeper does a bad clearance, defender miscontrols it and the goalie falls over as the shot is coming. Iran have completely lost their shape now, can't see them coming back from 3-1 down.

Beautiful! Mexico 2 Iran 1. Granted, it was an embarrassing display by Iran's keeper but Bravo deserves credit for finishing it.

I've been very impressed by skill of both teams in the first-half.
1742: LPArsenal
1-1. Iran have slowly come more and more into the game as its progressed, but the one thing they have to be careful of is the huge amounts of space they are allowing on the other side of the pitch to the ball - they should keep their formation more.
1735: biskot
Great goal. Mexico look very good on the break and set-pieces. Iran have seen most play but suffer from a poor final ball and a shaky backline. It'll be an interesting game overall.
1729: patodruida
After a very cautious start, Mexico started to gain control very, very slowly. Let's see if they can mantain the lead.

This is the competition for Mexico to prove that they are one of the big boys. They need to show us that FIFA were right to rank them so highly.
1655: Armchairpro
I've nothing against Mexico but would like to see Iran get through the group to set up a possible crunch match with USA.
1650: patodruida
Mexico should win but it will not easy and we could be in for a surprise. For one, Iran has a great team and has been playing much better than Mexico in the warm-up games. Of course, this is the game that matters, so we'll see.
