Ecuador - Holland 1-1 Its hard to say if the Dutch team is a little lack luster or Ecuador is good. I find many South American and African teams to be feisty players with good ball control.

They also sang the national anthem this time. If the US loses against England, I think Iran might be able to come thru. I support the Persian people not the Mullahs.
Persians are the majority in Iran, the name means Union of Farsi speaking people. My favorite Iraninan finally got to showcase her Persian accent in Black Adam.

That fact that Mohammed Amer, a Muslim actor/comic from Kuwait exists proves there's hope for humanity. He has a new sitcom.

The Dutch are not going to get past the round of 16. They don't have much to offer in the offensive game. When your star offensive player playing at half speed, you are asking too much.

They got their great country stolen by the Mullahs... Same thing will happen in the USA within next 10 year once the gop has finished the mypyllowrization process...

Iran played good football. But so far Ecuador, Canada and England greatly impressed me.

I doubt that the US will become anything close to mullahs.

What a good game, the US was very good. People were thinking the English were going to take it all, but this is what happens when they get to play a decent team. Apparently the English players were talking in the locker rooms how many goals they were going to stick to the Americans. LOL

Neither team made any goals. That is the whole purpose of the game. So you cannot say any of them were good.

The WC has a severe shortage of good strikers. Passing the ball around for 90 minutes does not win games.

I don't really see why this matters. The referee did a good job on the Canada game.

On CBC a Canadian FIFA referee reviewed the claim of penalty and came to the conclusion, that there were no penalty, because a Canadian player had committed a foul just before.
It kinda matters when the Ref in question has been suspended in the past for corruption.

Iranians doubt that as well until it was too late.
The sad part, FDR made the world safe for democracy and Kermit Roosevelt took it away from Iran.

It hasn't been a very exciting WC so far, the Saudis pin the tail on The Cockroach was sweet, but I didn't care much for Spain bullying Costa Rica. Both Neymar and Danilo are out for Brazil.

Makes me wonder how minnows Italy would have done?
