There have been plenty of goals at the World Cup so far but during qualification for the tournament, Iran kept more clean sheets than any other team.

Nigeria on the other hand scored the fewest amount of goals in qualifying from any of the teams who made it to Brazil, so this game might not exactly be a goalfest.

But as they say, football is a funny old game so you never know what might happen.

Kudos to anyone who stays up for this one!

[Jonathan Fairfield]

Who's staying up for this one.

It's only another hour!

No point in going to bed now, it'll soon be time to get up again anyway

[naboo]

Nobody is staying up for this one!

Goodnight.

Actually it's been quite an entertaining first half. No goals but high tempo.

[shootthebreeze]

Yes quite entertaining game Iran really played with determination.

The first draw game

[Chicog]

Fix. No doubt.

I can't believe that either team has suddenly become that bad, let alone both of them.

I have absolutely no idea how on earth anyone could describe that rubbish as "entertaining".
