Iran now play Portugal, and if they can win that one then they will still go through instead of Portugal, that would be Funny!!!

Per Maddix's comments above unless its a jammy OG like they got against Morocco I'm sure officialdom will do their utmost best to see a few more CR9 merchandising opportunities come along.

Of the other games I've seen I thought the Peru v Denmark was a good end to end game and it would be great to see Iceland get through to at least the semi's.
Wednesday should be scouting the Icelandic youth systems for promising players and their weather is so atrocious most of the year they shouldn't have any trouble with mid week winter games in England even if the floodlights go out. It was a pity that Souness pit and end to Siggi's career once he had moved to Arsenal.

was a pity siggi left us after it took him nearly 3 seasons to become a top player because his first 2 he was shite and then he fcuked off !

Given our track record of man management and player development over the years I'd have cut my leg off to leave Wednesday Cool

Argies going out hopefully !!

Get in

I've got Croatia to win this group Thumb up

but I had the Argies to finish 2nd Doh

flood gates opened.. 3-0 ?

Surely the GD will be too much for them to make up now and Iceland will take second

Nigeria might fancy themselves with Iceland and the Argies to play Cool

I'm thinking Iceland will get through

and then all the fill in the blank _ _ _ _ sonofsonofson's will be getting 20 million plus transfer fees in July

Can still see the Argies getting through, Iceland have to win tomorrow and then they and Croatia can play out a bore draw to see them both through!!!

It's not very popular where I live. Saw first half of Morocco Portugal game and thought Morocco were better team. Portugal relied entirely on Ronaldo.
