Weird, I thought that was your team that did that by pegging the Iraqis back every time they went ahead. But no, I guess the only thing that...
[IMG] What's that Skip? Iranians blaming their penalty shoot-out miss on a referee? No, I don't get the reasoning either.
Can only beat what's in front of you. Try it some time :D
Oh yeah, I forgot. Iran got a bad decision, so the Asian Cup is invalid and your team's brilliant fightback to tie at 3-3 in extra time doesn't...
You notice how no other quarter final exit side is in this thread bitching about our win?
Despite the courage and endurance shown by our side tonight, I think we have to realise that this wasn't our best. Everyone is happy for the team,...

Hey I'm just going off Mani's very sensible posts.
Yeah, but you see it is all a conspiracy to deny Iranian victory: they had to protect their beloved UAE for their run into the finals and so they...
There are a few obstacles to this dumbass revenge fantasy, yes.
If the Gulf Co-operation Council had bribed Williams he would have sent off an Iraqi player by mistake, he's that sort of doofus.
Ok, who wants to score a penalty here?
Best game of the whole Cup. May not be bettered.
This. Game. Is. Ridiculous.
So much drama.
The cosmic wheel of Ben Williams crushes all in turn.
