3:0 Spain against Saudi Arabia after 24min. This is a good dent in the 3rd place rankings.

Spain got the job done 4-0 over Saudi Arabia in their second World Cup group H match.

Iran arguably the better team here

What a free kick routine!

Goal of the tournament … until the offside call

At least that Belgian child can wipe away his tears now. Hehe

Belgium are so underwhelming. Just like their existence as a country. You sometimes question if it's a real thing.

Belgium and Iran scoreless at the half.

 

[JS96]

We're going to be playing Belgium in the R32, aren't we?

 

[grazorblade]

Not sure who i want to win, but iran need to fix their leaky defence in their right channel, maybe sub their right back

 

[grazorblade]

19 percent possession which might be the lowest in the world cup so far?

We want Belgium to get the job done over Iran so they end up with four points and top the group at the conclusion of matchday 2 which would mean that the Socceroos avoid them in the round of 32 should we finish second, but bear in mind that New Zealand and Egypt are yet to face each other in the other group G match.

I still don't feel ready to play Iran let alone on this big stage!

Belgium are still running a fairly strong playing list this World Cup cycle and are one of the better second-tier European nations which Popaball may struggle to get a result against though.

Belgium making Iran look good. A simple flick from a throw then gets a shot on target. We don't shoot enough or create little moments like that. Just hit the thing for a change!

Nathan Ngoy given a straight red card for Belgium and sent off in the 66th minute for a foul, with Belgium now down to ten men.

 

[JS96]

Red for Belgium. Stupidity. Scuffs a back pass and grabs the man.

I knew I should've taken that Tunisia friendly smashing with a grain of salt.

Yeah their beers will wipe your knowledge away.

Brussels gives it a bad wrap but lots of other nice smaller cities.

When you think of our frustration imagine being a Belgium supporter.
The amount of times they have had a top team - their previous GG always coming up short.
Done well to survive a draw with 10 give them that.
Iran hanging in done well again.
