Mexico 3 Iran 1

Iran were really that good for all but the five minutes when the keeper and defence decided to let Mexico win (OK, Zinha had something to do with it as well). They relied a lot on pace and flair to cover for deficiencies in positioning. Don't rule out an upset of Portugal yet, though. Mexico I underestimated: for most of the game they were a little off-key but they got better as the game went on. A much better game than yesterday.
