Dammit.
As crazy as it seems to say we haven’t taken our chances. Singh shooting straight at the keeper, Libby with a weak shot.. couple of other good chances too.
Well- this is WC football. Buckle in boys and fight back.

They've been outclassing us. First to the ball consistently, we can hardly string anything together other than a hopeful lob to Wood.
Still plenty of time though
COME ON BOYS!!!

heaps of time.
Baze will need to settle the lads at half time, get the focus back on track, this game is winnable, but tough. Hopefully the energy gets sapped from the Iranians as the intensity gets to them.

We are very lethargic in the midfield which isn’t helped by nervous interactions by Crocombe! Need to get back the momentum early second half.

I didn't see any offside check on the Iran goal, but it certainly looked like it would have been worth a look. I may have missed something, I guess.

they are using the AI driven offside checker, and every goal is checked, was close but just on I think.
second one was clearly off!
good contest so far, both sides cearly wanting the win.

Well, we made it to half time. We didn't offer much in the second quarter. Hope Baze can pull some magic in the second

What a game though!
Randall or Old or Bayliss got a winner?
And we’re playing nice football. We might have be prepared for them having a plan to counter us in the second half. Kicking Singh or some such.
Love the crumbing off the big fella! Classic retro goal.

Thought it was likely offside unless it came off Surman.

Highly entertaining. Have builders on site and they've got the radio commentary on.
They're playing well enough to win some new fans.
Go guys. Keep it up.

Yes, looks like Surmans tackle was the last touch

Hard to believe the space Woodsy got for a couple of those long balls, including the goal.

At the stadium:
The drinks break screwed us. End off.
It's not hot here at all in LA. No need for it. There's been a lot of media talk in Europe about advert breaks ruining games. Ours is another classic example.

Singh is a bit mixed. Loses every 50/50.
Miss Garbs physicality esp given way to are set to feed off Wood's layoffs. Such is
Again service to Wood from the full backs is average.
I can see FDV getting a 10 min cameo, as a pseudo winger with Old's pace as cover.
Apparently Iran's HT sub coming on is very very quick. Plays on the left. He will be up against Payne.

Possibly, but not enough replays to conclusively say so or that the goal scorer was onside irrespective of who got the last touch - I'm not watching the half time coverage so not sure if that's been looked at there.

nah, keep the ball between us, let the Iranians chase the ball. It may be slow but it'll wear them down and open gaps for us.

I thought Iran were looking quite likely before the hydration break as well.
But it does make more sense to only have the breaks when it's actually needed because of the conditions.

I think Just is actually a better striker for us then Wood. Look back over the last few years. He's easily our most consistent scorer, especially against non OFC teams.

WOO! Now question this isn't because All Whites only one to do it. Should the subs really be allowed to go onto the pitch for celebration? Especially if the game is still got time left to play? I just personally not liking it. I think there is a slight difference of a few seconds left, or a huge game vs 55th minute ect. Anyways thank you and sorry for my question/rant
