Morocco were incredible today. What both Ronaldo/Messi need but don’t have, is a team like Morocco creating chances. What Morocco need but don’t have, is a player like Ronaldo/Messi to finish. Outplayed both Iran & Portugal. Probably the best-ever team to exit the WC with 0 pts?

- After this goal, Iran’s attacks at Spain’s goal post and their defense was equally commendable as they searched for an equalizer.
- But, the Spanish defenders lead by Ramos didn’t allow Iran to pass through. And, the Iranians lost this match.

This Iran couldn’t arrange decent friendlies, training facilities, had Nike withdraw from giving them shoes and equipment, had lack of funds because of sanctions. The fact they’ve managed to achieve what they have is incredible. Everyone thought they’d lose to Spain and Morocco

I was saddened & shocked that ppl who knew me 4 years accused me of being a racist 4 political points. I oppose corrupt regimes which throw gays off buidlings & execute rape victims. I oppose BHO-VJ’s pro #R2P & their Iran deal.
