How the Iranian team played at the 2014 World Cup
For Iranian football players, getting into the finalthe stage of the World Cups is already a decent achievement. Few people assumed that the Iranians could play more than three games in the tournament, since the class of this team is not so high. At the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Iranian footballers could not record a sensation with their performance.
The national team of Iran was not in the verycomplex group on the football mundial. The rivals of Iranian footballers in the fields of Brazilian stadiums in the matches of the group stage were the Argentines, Nigerians and Bosnians.
The first game in the tournament the Iranians held againstthe national team of Nigeria. This match is among the few most non-spectacular games in the tournament. The final score 0 - 0 is a display of what happened on the field. The audience was frankly bored. We can say that both teams did not even have serious scoring chances. The game was, for the most part, in the center of the field.
In the second match, Iranian football players are not againscored the ball. However, this time they faced a much more formidable opponent - Argentina. Many predicted the defeat in the match, but in fact it turned out differently. South American football players with great difficulty were able to crack the rival's rival. Messi in the last minutes of the meeting scored the only goal in the game. 1 - 0 won the Argentina.
The first two defeats in the group deprived the national teamIran's chances of reaching the stage of the playoffs. The Iranians could only play for their fans worthy in the final match against the team of Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, this did not work either. Iran's footballers suffered a third defeat in the tournament with a score of 1 - 3.
After three games, the Iranians scored just one point. This determined the last place in Group F for the Iranian team. The players of this team were able to hit the opponent's gate only once. Such a result can not be considered worthy. Iranian footballers showed the most unproductive football in the championship.
