Best World Cup Ever!
Nigeria vs Argentina - ITV 5pm KO
2 of 6
2 goals in the opening 4 minutes. That just sums up this World Cup! (and the equaliser was a cracker!)
Was just about to say its turning out to be Neymar v Messi in this World Cup with Robben being potential to make it 3s a crowd.

6minutes in and no chance of lots now! Shame actually would like to see how FIFA implemented it.

Yep, shame. It would be nice to see it happen at least once. As long as England are not involved obviously.

But what if Nigeria lose 2-1 and Iran win 2-1? Won't they still have identical records? Or have I missed something?

Better than Cahill's volley?
Thoughts so far:
Nigerian keeper looks a bit dodgy.
Argentinians going to spend a lot of time rolling on floor, often justifiably.

Or Van Man's lobbed header vs Spain? Or Messi's equaliser vs Iran?
In any other World Cup, Nigeria's equaliser would be up there for goal of the tournament, but this is no ordinary tournament.

Then if Neymar gets urm, 'taken out' (not for a curry), both of the big South American teams are vulnerable!
, leaving Costa Rica to claim their rightful place - as World Champions. (You watch, they'll bloody win it as well!).

You could be right. If Iran and Argentina both win and by the exact same scorline Iran and Nigeria will have identical records.
