Are there any words to the Iranian National Anthem?

Didn’t notice any of the players singing.

This is wrong - this should not be the player's decision to stay on.

He needs to go off without hesitation

One plan for England here - shoot!

Interesting how quiet the England supporters are when they are not pìssed up

Iran are absolute pony, beat the Yanks tonight and its game on

 

[Ringwood Jack]

Iran are shocking.. gutted if we lose to these. Hope England rack up a big score here

 

[Pegojack]

Here we go, England are thrashing a pub team and suddenly they are world beaters.

Another lovely goal from another youngster, plus a cracker from Rahim. Kin ell England doing well here.

Don’t think the Iranian players are handling the ref well either, he’s a red card merchant parantly.

I guess we are watching the world cup winners in waiting now are we

Hope England keep scoring. Some of the Iranian players are losing their heads, a red card or two would be great so they'd miss our game.

Backs to the wall draw tonight and a win against Iran would put us in a good position going into the England game (depending on what happens when the US play England).

I think that’s the first time the English players have sung the national anthem GSTK too, apart from Mason Mount who sang GSTQ.

Don't know about a backs to wall draw, USA are only 3 places higher ranked than us mind according to FIFA...

Big Elton John fan is Mason.
