Giroud still underrated by most - not top level but his record for arsenal and France speaks for itself

The only Toivonen goal ever I enjoyed (and very much so indeed - even if it might not be in our best interest)

Anyone see our game? I'm in the US and by the time I realised I could go see it in the bar it was nearly over. For some reason I thought it was at 7:45. How'd we play? Deserved equaliser? Serbia Wales was perfect result in the other game tbh.

Just saw disallowed goal. Looked very harsh. I can see why ref gave it though.

Japan fail to win vs Iraq away, held to a 1-1 draw, while the UAE also are basically eliminated (I think) after only managing a draw vs Thailand.

The UAE draw is bad for Australia, since UAE now have little/no motivation against Saudi Arabia, and might just casually drop them a few easy goals to boost their goal difference.

Australia should still be ok with four points from the final two games @Japan and at home vs Thailand, but it is not fun to have to sweat these last few games.

-----------------------

Syria drew vs China, which is probably RIP for both of those teams assuming South Korea can beat Qatar later tonight.

Not sure if this is the right thread but betting Iran is going to be an easy way to get value in the World Cup. Right now they have 1000 to 1 odds which doesnt make them justice. They qualified in Asia without conceding a single goal, even in lol Asia that should make you better than 1000 to 1. They are the best asian team right now but given they are already qualified they will probably lose against South Korea and look worse than what they really are.

I would probably bet them to get out of the group stage.

EDIT: Queiroz already looked capable of drilling them defensively in the 2014 world cup.
