Group D Results

Ten-man Iran fought a fierce rearguard action to hold a lead against Mexico last night and emerge from Group D as winners. The Iranian bandwagon had looked in serious danger of faltering after a shock defeat to Portugal, and tensions were high before the match. Iran scored early but had their goalscorer sent off for a provocative celebration in front of the Mexico fans. When play eventually restarted Mexico laid siege to the Iranian goal but could not find a way through. Controversial boss dubdobdee will face Serbia and Montenegro in the next round, while Mexico gaffer Victor faces a long flight home.


A Mexico fan sits stunned after defeat to Iran.

The Mexican team were in despair after reports filtered through of Portugal's last-minute equaliser against a gutsy Angola side, a result which put the Iberians through on goals scored. The draw was no more than Portugal deserved - they were unfortunate to fall behind and controlled much of the game thanks to the dazzling skills of their US-born playmaker. Angola boss martinskidmore will chalk this one up to experience and certainly his boys enjoyed the World Cup party. thebopkids meanwhile will be planning his strategy against another African team, Cote D'Ivoire, in the round of 16.

You've got no bloody chance against the might of SERBIA (and to a slightly lesser extent Montenegro). Just wait to see what Slavic insanity I pull out next. YOU WILL QUAKE.
