I can't see Portugal having either the individual or collective skill or patience to play against that kind of 'anti-football'.
Think we will have to agree to differ on that one
a very luck Costa goal I thought. Iran did have an 8 man defence at times, but as the commentator mentioned, the likes of Barcelona play against teams like this most weeks and there were a few Barca players there least night.
Up until the goal I thought that Iran would hold them and if that guy hadn't snatched at the ball later he could have scored a belter from 18 yards. As for that header miss from 3 yards, well....However, if is a big word I know. One thing for sure, this is not the Spain team of a few years ago.
