Result was a travesty
What a complete shame for the Iranians, after a brave display that saw them match the Argentinians for effort and almost gain a draw. But for the single shot by Messi in the 91st minute, there was no basis for any claim that Argentina deserved to win.
The referee was a complete wimp, signalled in no better way than when Sergio Aguero decided to pull out the corner flag and dump it on the ground. Instead of showing a yellow card, the ref held up the game while he trotted over to the corner and replaced the pole in the correct (upright) position. He continued to show a limpness no worse than a week-old lettuce leaf.

The picture of Diego Maradona watching from the crown, displaying that quite dreadful arrogant look that he uses for pretty much everything was enough to encourage me to cheer on the Iran team. While there is surely much that's attractive about Argentinian fans, his ugly, cheating, superior personality was not a welcome addition to my television pictures.
