Match of the Day World Cup

What happens if Iran win their game 2-1 and Argentina beat Nigeria by the same scoreline, who goes through as runners up? Iran or Nigeria?

Iran because they'll have scored more goals overall.

[hfc rd]

Iran because they'll have scored more goals overall.


Not really. They would both have scored 2 and conceded 2. Or do the qualifiers come into it as well?

Iran 0-0 Nigeria
Argentina 1-0 Iran
Nigeria 1-0 Bosnia
Nigeria 1-2 Argentina
Bosnia 1-2 Iran



Looks like that wishful thinking ain't going to happen now!
:D

[EdinMike]

Bosnia are winning anyhoo

[hfc rd]

Bosnia are winning anyhoo


True but was just thinking if Iran were to win 2-1, who would progress as runners up? Iran or Nigeria? Don't think that had ever happened before.

[Sylar]

Iran 0-0 Nigeria
Argentina 1-0 Iran
Nigeria 1-0 Bosnia
Nigeria 1-2 Argentina
Bosnia 1-2 Iran

Apologies, you're right enough.

If they can't be separated on points (which they wouldn't be given that scenario), goals (same again) or head to head (draw) it comes down to a 'drawing of lots'.

I don't think it'll matter as I can't see Iran scoring twice.

Neither can I but it would be very interesting if they did.

[Mon Dieu4]

2-2 now:flag:

[Hibernia Na Eir]

more goals left in this game

[hfc rd]

3-2 Argentina. Ezequiel Garay

[Mon Dieu4]

3-2 what a game, the defending is rank, it's brilliant:greengrin

[Bishop Hibee]

Great atmosphere at the games although no doubt some of the more outlandish outfits sported by fans would be derided as "cringeworthy" by the fashionistas on here!

[21.05.2016]

What an absolute genius of a footballer Messi is. It's all about opinions etc but IMO he's the greatest player ever. Absolutely incredible player!

And when they bump into each other in said place the two of them must piss themselves laughing at Glenn Hoddle and say where the F*** does he buy his from..

[easty]

what a save!

[easty]

red card for Antonio Valencia. Sometimes you get away with those, sometimes you dont.

[Mon Dieu4]

Dunno how Neville can try and defend that, you can't go in studs up in the air, he even tried to say it was because the. French player was down early :rolleyes:

[hibsbollah]

Anyone else hear Shearer and Waddle say England don't win major touraments because they're 'too honest' and dont know how to win free kicks and penalties? :hilarious

McGlashan would be doing his nut.

I, for one, find it completely unfair that the honest and hardworking nation of England are being done out of World Cup glory because other countries just don't have the same morals as they do. :wink:

[Mon Dieu4]

I love players to try the outrageous but did that Ecuador player really think he could score from that free kick :faf:

[majorhibs]

I wish Scotland could play Honduras at the World Cup. Or maybe England.

[majorhibs]

Without Gaz Mcallister on pens of course.

Haven't watched every game but the only player I can remember diving regularly is Sturridge. Can't even recall Suarez doing any proper cheating. Yet you see it in almost every single game on MOTD. Maybe it's the type of grass in England rather than where players come from.

Sulley Muntari and Kevin-Prince Boateng have been expelled from Ghana's World Cup squad (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28035928) for alleged indiscipline.

It added Boateng had used "vulgar verbal insults targeted at coach Kwesi Appiah" and said Muntari was guilty of an "unprovoked physical attack on an executive committee member".

Guy on radio said the place would go mental if and when they go out, Polis could be busy.

[hibsbollah]

The defending / play from their throw in by Brazil at Chile's equaliser was very like some of the stuff seen closer to home recently.

I think it was Luis Gustavo aka Sammy Davis Jr not staying close to Sanchez. On the other hand, Sanchez is good at dropping into good positions so maybe one of Luiz or Thiago Silva should have done it. As you say though, poor defending especially when Sanchez is their dangerman.

The media was reporting last night that the police are on high alert, in case Brazil go out.

They reckon that if they lose, it will spark mass riots across the country and all the anger towards the government will come back to the surface again and it will turn quite nasty.

Looked like hand ball there

Very very close. Armpit maybe. I've been impressed with Hulk today.

Haha Mowbray played his "incredible" card for Hulk and then it's ruled out... will have to keep waiting for his moment of glory.

[Lewis77]

What is it with English refs and the world cup that doesn't go? Shocking Howard! Collina is the best ref in my lifetime.

[lord bunberry]

That was a shocking decision, I can't believe he's booked him as well

[Mon Dieu4]

Very very close. Armpit maybe. I've been impressed with Hulk today.

Even if it wasn't, in real time and first look it looked like the arm to me, they got a penalty for nothing against Croatia so maybe these things do even out

[(((Fergus)))]

That's the fifth or sixth incident in this world cup where a video ref would have sorted it.

[Lewis77]

If Brazil get knocked out here Howard will have to skip the country quick.

[(((Fergus)))]

To quote some English commentators from earlier in the tournament, referees from minor footballing nations really shouldn't be allowed to officiate on the bigger stage

[CallumLaidlaw]

To be fair to Webb, he gave the goal. His linesman said it was a hand.

[poolman]

Looked like hand ball there


If his hand is there he must be deformed

[Mon Dieu4]

my spidey senses feel a red card soon

[Mon Dieu4]

If his hand is there he must be deformed

Next time i will use the more appropriate phrase arm ball just for you

[NOLA]

great save from cesar to stop chile going ahead, brasil need to find a player called bert just to join fred and jo

[poolman]

Even if it wasn't, in real time and first look it looked like the arm to me, they got a penalty for nothing against Croatia so maybe these things do even out

What was it then an arm or a hand ?

Maybe an elbow

[blackpoolhibs]

I think Chile are going to win this.

[Mon Dieu4]

What was it then an arm or a hand ?

Maybe an elbow

Whilst watching the game in real time,.my first reaction was that the ball hit his arm, in soccer this is commonly known as hand hand ball even though it is not an anotomincally correct phrase

[hibsbollah]

They can't bring themselves to admit that Howard Webb called it wrong. :rolleyes:

Webbs done well IMO. He's let the game flow. The handball decision was close and the linesman called it anyway.

when did andre agassi get the managers job for chile? jack of all trades

[Lewis77]

At least these lads are showing some spirit playing for their country. The english players showed about as much as a wet paper bag when they played. I still think a couple could get sent off.




*Chile are starting to look f***ed!

[poolman]

Whilst watching the game in real time,.my first reaction was that the ball hit his arm, in soccer this is commonly known as hand hand ball even though it is not an anotomincally correct phrase


You must go to different games from me then

If a ball hits somewhere up the shoulder area I normally shout "penalty"

I've never heard anybody shouting for hand ball when it hitssomebody on the shoulder

[hibsbollah]

Superb by Hulk. Great save. Extra time looming.

There in lies the problem, First viewing I thought it came off his arm, not his shoulder so I can see why the linesman flagged for it and even after a replay I'm still not completely sure it didn't hit his arm on the way down

[Spike Mandela]

Ex Jambo on for Chile.

[Mon Dieu4]

I want extra time, it's been a great game and means less rubbish tv to fill the gap til the Colombia game

[Sir David Gray]

Ex Jambo on for Chile.

Pinilla?

I think it's a bit much calling him an ex-Jambo.

I've probably been at Tynecastle more often than he has! :greengrin

:agree: Agree.

How much would you like that Vidal boy in the Hibs midfield? He's an absolute monster:top marks

[Spike Mandela]

Pinilla?

I think it's a bit much calling him an ex-Jambo.

I've probably been at Tynecastle more often than he has! :greengrin

Yeah ha ha, wonder if they ever paid in full for him.

[NOLA]

so the hertz did sign a world cup star after all :greengrin

[Mon Dieu4]

:agree: Agree.

Thought he was excellent, him and James Rodrigues might keep out Craig and Robertson at this rate

[Sir David Gray]

Yeah ha ha, wonder if they ever paid in full for him.

I think we both know the answer to that one.

[Lewis77]

Seeing the re-run it hit his upper arm, well done Howard son....You'll still hae tae bolt oot the country should Chile win.

[Billy Whizz]

Ex Jambo on for Chile.

How many times did he play for them

[SteveHFC]

How many times did he play for them

More times than i have seen Hibs win at Tynecastle

[Lewis77]

Looks like a mentally disturbed troll doll with that hair!

[Sir David Gray]

How many times did he play for them

Eight games.

[Billy Whizz]

Eight games.

Thanks, is that all. Did he have Vlad flu at the time

[Sir David Gray]

Thanks, is that all. Did he have Vlad flu at the time

Aye he was one of the players who fell under the spell of that Rima and her magic stick. :tee hee:

[The Green Goblin]

Crowd singing "hey ref, stick your hand up your a*s*"

Tense.... :greengrin

[The Green Goblin]

How bad is Jo?

[hibsbollah]

Crowd singing "hey ref, stick your hand up your a*s*"

Tense.... :greengrin

Brazil have **** all to complain about re the officials at this tournament:cb

[Mr White]

Brazil have **** all to complain about re the officials at this tournament:cb

They do if they paid webb the same they paid the Japanese ref for the Croatia game. They've been done!:grr:

[The_Horde]

How bad is Jo?

He's brutal.

I'd havehad Hulk in the middle and Willian out wide. I'd even rather have Pato or fat retired Ronaldo in there.

Christ James Collins would be a better option.

I bet he scores now. :greengrin

[The_Horde]

Brazil are missing a midfield playmaker as well. They need a Pirlo or a Xavi in there.

[Hibernia Na Eir]

I hope Chile get the through. Brazil have been poor so far in this tournament imo and their fans annoy me. Neymar isn't anywhere near as good as some folk make out either. His first touch is terrible.

[RP1875]

Jo is *****. Was wanting chile till that pinnila came on.

Petty? Aye! Fk the hearts though.

[RP1875]

I hope Chile get the through. Brazil have been poor so far in this tournament imo and their fans annoy me. Neymar isn't anywhere near as good as some folk make out either. His first touch is terrible.

He's injured.

[poolman]

See where your coming from, even after TV replays its still not conclusive IMO

[hibsbollah]

Chile have stopped attacking:confused: dropping deep and inviting brazil to attack.

[Baader]

Have to say this is one of the worst Brazil teams I can remember. They're a good side but nowhere close to the vintage ones we've had the pleasure of watching over the years.

[Mon Dieu4]

Oh ****ing hell, ex yam or not unlucky

[Spike Mandela]

What a game. Couldn't take your eyes off it. Lottery of penalties now.

[SteveHFC]

Pens sweet!

[Betty Boop]

Mon Brazil !

[SteveHFC]

Brazilian riot police cowering behind their seats right now

[hibsbollah]

Have to say this is one of the worst Brazil teams I can remember. They're a good side but nowhere close to the vintage ones we've had the pleasure of watching over the years.

Brazil haven't had a team that have been 'good to watch' for about thirty years. The samba football thing is as big a myth as Hibs flair. Press press, defend well.

But this Brazil team isn't as bad as some people make it IMO.

[NOLA]

if brasil lose the bbc studio better have reinforced glass :greengrin

[Sir David Gray]

I think Chile are going to win this.

[Sir David Gray]

1-0 Brazil.

[Sir David Gray]

Still 1-0 Brazil.

Pinilla misses.

Pleasing. :greengrin

[Pretty Boy]

Not playing the rule about the keeper staying on his line? At least 2 steps forward there.

[Betty Boop]

Yam fud always wanted to say that ! :greengrin

[Pretty Boy]

Shocking penalty.

[Sir David Gray]

Still 1-0 Brazil.

Brazil miss their second penalty.

Awful penalty.

[cabbageandribs1875]

silly willy

[GoldenMeerkat]

Hail, Cesar!

[Pretty Boy]

Cesar about a yard off his line again there.

[Sir David Gray]

Still 1-0 Brazil.

Chile miss their second penalty.

[Sir David Gray]

2-0 Brazil.

[Pretty Boy]

That's the one from Marcelo.

Just blast it high.

[Sir David Gray]

2-1 Brazil.

[Pretty Boy]

And Cesar wandering towards the half way line again. What's the linesman there for?

[SteveHFC]

Yass

[Sir David Gray]

Still 2-1 Brazil.

[cabbageandribs1875]

hulk will have a sulk

[Pretty Boy]

Hulk misses. Poor penalty again.

[Pretty Boy]

Yes!

[Sir David Gray]

2-2.

[Pretty Boy]

How nervous does Neymar look?

[Pretty Boy]

Some penalty though

[Sir David Gray]

3-2 Brazil.

Chile must score.

[Pretty Boy]

Bollox.

[Sir David Gray]

Brazil win 3-2 on penalties.
