World Cup Group B contains two heavyweights and what might be the worst game of the Group stage. 2010 Champions Spain and current Euro Champs Portugal. Morocco is back for the first time in 20+ years and Iran is also back for the 5th time.

It would be a massive shock if Spain and Portugal don't advance out of the group.

Group B Standings:
-----------------------Pld---W---D---L---GD----Pts
Spain------------------2----1---1---0___+1----4
Portugal--------------2----1---1---0___+1----4
Iran---------------------2----1---0---0___+1----3
Morocco--------------2----1---0---1___-2----0

The more interesting question is will Ramos get caught by VAR doing what Ramos does best?

Maybe VAR will catch Ramos and Pepe locking up together. And the WC would be a better place all the way around.

Iran has already committed 2 bad tackles and they are on cards. Going to be a long ugly game and they could end down a man if they continue. Which could get interesting with a Turkish ref.

This game is entertaining and crap at the same time

Neither team is good and as a result there are some sloppy fouls on both teams. This is a hard game to referee given that FIFA doesnt want cards.

That Moroccan couldnt have played that any better. Unfortunately it was the wrong end to head it in.

That was almost as good of an own goal as Jeff Agoos against Portugal...I mean Agoos' shot was a rocket to the top corner!
