Bosnia will score 3 or 4 against both these sides
Especially if they sort their final ball out.

What is it about the African teams? Fair play to Ivory Coast coming back from a goal down vs Japan, but Cameroon and (so far) Nigeria have been woeful in this tournament.

iran are just very poor ..but im more shocked at how bad nigeria are ..do they have a manager or coach
The big man on the bench Stephen someone.

Nigeria are the perfect example of why the African representation should be cut.

5 is too many with how poor they are

Nigeria have been shocking. They have some decent players but just snatching at everything. No composure.

Despite their win I wasn't impressed with the Ivorians either. Hopefully Ghana later and Algeria tomorrow can offer more.

I'm cheering on Iran because I don't think Nigeria look any better at this point.

Every set piece Nigeria have taken in this match has been absolutely abysmal.

I hope so because they can't be much worse than this. On paper there's some decent players in that Nigeria team. On grass......not so much, not yet anyway. As I type Nigeria fluff a free kick which doesn't even clear the 1st defender.

Wouldn't be too surprised if Iran nick this. Maybe they deserve to.

nigeria have been the worst team in the tournament so far - even worse than honduras!
ghana have some decent players; boaten, muntari and ayew x2 so upfront they should be more composed

musa, who i have been told is good, has been so so bad today. emenike barely better. credit iran though as they are strong and defend well
still fancy nigeria to nick it 1 - 0

Awful game, terrible players.

I just know that Daniel Levy will want to sign some of this lot for Tottenham.

And their final ball on attacks too.

Only really perk up when Iran attack and they need to keep the magic 0-0.

This is like watching an England game from the 2010 World Cup.

Trying to assess African teams is difficult as I suspect their fans have unrealistic expectations as to what can be achieved by their countries

80% of nigerians polled expected their team to win the WC

Their GK said the other day they should make at least the semis
