3 boring games today, highlight was definitely Milad Mohammadi's attempt to throw-in vs Spain...did you guys see it? the guy tried to do a front flip or whatever but failed miserably...best moment in the WC so far.
I only wish he had gone through with it and failed epicly. There's been quite a lot of bad/ fowl throws this tournament and the ref hasn't pulled a single one of them up yet.

I wonder if Spain are able to break Iran down in the second half of the match?
All of yesterdays games were pretty dull and they were all quite lucky to scrape wins especially Spain which was practically an own goal. I was really looking forward to the Spain and Portugal games given how they played each other in the first round but I think they both got too complacent. The tournament is very open right now and I wouldn't put money on any team as it stands. I could even see an underdog winning or going very far.
I missed predicting any results today due to having some internet problems at home. Fortunately, I predicted the correct score for Senegal, and hopefully that's at least saved me a little bit.
Senegal are currently my underdogs of the tournament as they have some real players in the team.
Fill in all your scores now. You can change them all at a later date but at least if you forget or can't put them in for whatever reason then you still have something down.
Can anyone choose a joker match for today's games? The option doesn't seem to be there.
