YES, equalizer!

iran equalizes on a corner.

1-1 in the 36th minute

[USSoccer]

Mexico looks shaky in the back. That isn't a positive sign for them...

[lowest]

1-1 at HT.

 

i think i'd take a draw at the end of this one. iran is no push-over; a draw wont look bad for CONCACAF.

the game has been fairly even so far.

[lowest]

mexico has used all of their subs after just 52 minutes. this could get interesting.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Iran's defense is looking clueless sometimes back there. A through ball that should've been taken by the keeper gets cleared for a throw, a ball mishandled out of bounds, etc.

 

And thank you to the center official for not buying the multiple Mexican dives in the box.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

crap, Bravo scores again.

[lowest]

bravo with his second goal

2-1 mexico

 

good thru ball in the build-up.

:shock: - Including the one where Marquez got taken out on his way through?

I didn't see that one, I was referring to the clean tackle from behind, and the fall on the touch line after the ball went out of bounds.

aaaaand its 3-1.

The game's won now anyway. (Cool :D - 'won now' is a palindrome)

This is becoming sad.

I now have audio of a documentary about a weather disaster film with bowling ball sized hail.

Mexico still looking brighter - but playing for a penalty, again. Nothing doing.

I can still see it, and faintly hear the ABC commentary, but it's overwhelmed by the sound of this discovery channel piece. Bizarre. I'll just watch the Cubs until the next game starts.

Well...good for Oswaldo Sanchez. He played a good game and it must have been tough for him losing his father and having to focus on the game today.

 

Kudos to the Mexican fans...by far the most enthusiastic, energetic fans thus far.

 

And that's the extent of the praise that the Mexican team will get from me. Iran was terrible.

I was really surprised at how bad they looked. Time to hope Angola pulls off the upset.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

This should be England's theme song

 

I wonder how many goals this thing goes up to. I think I'm at 18.

[Marco4]

I got to 25 while I was bathing.

 

I guess there's no mention of the snake at any point, then. Odd that its there, then?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Figo creates a goal with an impressive burst.

 

 

And this PBP guy's accent may be too much for me.

[Marco4]

Here comes the destruction?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

haha, Ronaldo LOVES to dribble

 

and according to Tommy Smyth, "has more moves than Mariah Carey"

[lowest]

portugal look good early on, helped by the fact that angola dont.

[Outshined_One]

Looks like Angola is finally settling down. That yellow card was a gift, to boot.
