Well, folks, we were due a duff game. Let's just hope these kind of matches are few and far between.
Iran vs Nigeria - BBC One 8pm KO
5 of 8
We were bound to have one dull game and this has been the dullest by miles. Hopefully it's an aberration rather than the end of the great run.

Yes I think we might be going all night
I've watched them all so far... but this one had me asleep almost at half time so I turned over and came on here. Seems like that was the best choice...

I was wondering if the 'BabeCam' was in use at this World Cup. It seems to have been used less in Brazil then it has been at previous tournaments.
I mean, its Brazil!

I've seen plenty of cracking 0-0's. This, however, is dour.

Nope, it's dull because Nigeria have been really poor and missed loads of simple passes. There's just a lack of quality on the pitch. Iran aren't great either but I expected them to be worse and Nigeria to be better.

After watching this, all Rooney criticism requires perspective. His corner was Maradona-esque next to this shower.

I don't know what the equation is that FIFA use to work it out (probably £££££££ + $$$$$$$$ judging by the news) but got this from wikipedia. And there's loads of weird anomalies (Israel being in UEFA for security reasons, I guess, and Australia being in the Asian group for whatever reason.)

Looking at this, at least it seems like Bosnia will get through the group. I would like them to have a good tournament.
Messi and Aguero must be licking their lips at the prospect of facing these two sides.
