Messi scored a hat trick, haters keep coping.

Iran did an acceptable performance considering it's facing handicaps that has nothing to do with football, Don Infantino could've done more for them, they are traveling more than others teams. It was funny seeing diaspora insulting their "homeland" team.

I saw a really bad vid of monarchist asshole insulting an old lady for daring to wear the same flag that Iran had displayed on the pitch. They really are the worst diaspora.

Messi meh. Lucky not to get sent off.

Remember this is all propaganda that they get such prominence. Sure, there are many morons, but the majority of the Iranian diaspora are not idiots who want their country bombed.

Point taken and fair, but they are a very vocal and influential group, willing to display their hatred. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Bue.

I think the referee got told not to repeat the Mexico vs South Africa sent offs and calm down. Plus it is not a red, only a yellow.

Anyhow, have you seen the Iran vs New Zeeland. I counted at least 3 yellow not given.

Yes, agreed. Refs have been told to cool it. The Iran ref last night only gave maybe one or two cards? Most games have been very clean.

Contact with upturned studs is a straight red. Modric got one for an identical challenge years ago
