Foster is to commentating what Williams is to refereeing.

[Actually, that's harsh on Williams]

I stayed well away from this game. Thought it would be too emotional.

Put $200 on Japan to progress though.

Queiroz looked very upset walking up the tunnel. I hope he can rally his troops and keep it together.

A decent ref - and there are some good ones in this comp - would've seen that incident for exactly what it was: a stupid bit of theatre by players from two teams that are accustomed to this kind of thing. It was nothing. Just get them back on their feet and get on with the game. Instead Williams has once again embarrassed himself and potentially wrecked one team's chances. He's an incompetent buffoon.

Gets pushed in the chest. Goes down, and stays down, clutching his face. That's a yellow by the laws

I've switched over to the Arabic commentary again.  This guy is great - just as excitable as Chinese commentators.  

No Swindon Town references so far however.

Hah - and here I was thinking you were on about the sly foot into the Keeper :-)

I have been impressed with the Iranian defenders. They really are trying to be the first to every ball, especially in the air. Fergie did shark on that Queiroz was an excellent defensive coach.

Draw as a result after playing 90 mins is paying 1.70... thinking about it...

So I guess the Iraqi keeper should have been red carded for raising his hands into the Iranians face as well then

Okay, so waited to see how williams would go after a while. I think he's now scared to make a call so put on 100 for the draw but only at 1.33

Looking alright [jinx]

I missed the start. Was there a minute's silence for the 13 Iraqi lads reported to have been shot for watching Iraq vs Jordan?
