What's wrong with you lot? Where's the official match threads

My second team here but I don't have a lot of faith in the Super Eagles at World Cups. Tend to choke and team/management/FA relationships are usually fraught.

Know little about Iran but having made the finals again then probably not to be written off. Decent manager too.

Gone for the Nigeria win on the vcash but not overly confident.

The most uninspiring game so far.

But I'll still be watching, ITS THE WORLD CUP.

These are exactly the sort of games I love to watch in the early stages of the world cup. Didn't Charlton have an Iranian international in their team at the Amex?

I'm with you have gone for Nigeria in the old Vcash betting.

If only it was that simple. Unfortunately, with all things Naija it never is that simple

Went all in on this but got a feeling Iran are capable of getting something here. African teams are prone to weak defences.

These are the games that end up being bloody brilliant... let's hope they continue the good form that this World Cup is delivering so far.

Nigeria are turd. At least Iran, though limited, are putting everything on the line.

Any bets available on the exact minute in the game that Nigeria will actually string two passes together?, because they haven't managed it yet
