Iran - beautiful culture, beautiful country, beautiful heritage, beautiful football. Thank you.

IIt was supposed to be - Welcome to the Quarter-Finals RONALDO!!
But now it is Portugal-Uruguay!!!

1. 15 minutes – Check-in…News coming from the other match that might affect circumstances in Iran-Portugal. Morocco scores and makes it 0-1 to the Africans. AMAZING!!!
   As we reach 20 minutes, Real Madrid & Spain’s starlet Isco, levels the match and drive Spain top of the match. 11th goal of his career. NO LONGER IN DANGER.
   Iran displaying great quality in their performance playing against Portugal like if it was Brazil-Argentina’s match. Asian’s pride with competitive edge. Queiroz using his extended knowledge for a nation of 82 million vs a Portugal populated with 10 but he took to stardom earlier in the late 80s and early 90s. He has been successful with Iran, and his advantage comes in the shape of Cristiano Ronaldo, which he signed for Alex Ferguson and Manchester United to unleash the dragon – The World’s Best Player. STAR!!!

   Andre Silva horrible for Portugal as much he was awful most of the season he was with AC Milan. The typical boy next door. The Quinas nation is desperately waiting for Ronaldo’s gifted performances, but we can see Quaresma highly passionate providing dangerous curling crosses trying to find the last touch for Portugal to score and feel safe and proud. He is probably the most technically gifted ever player for Portugal just as Garrincha was for Brazil in comparison with football’s greatest.

   If you wanted to play a match of 11v11 but starting with minus 2 players you just needed to place and mix Andre Silva, Joao Mario and Adrien in the same team as they would rotate and do the magic, fielding 11 players but looking like 8 or 9 players at all times. CHOICES!!

2. 45 minutes – Ricardo “Harry Potter” Quaresma scores through a mastery of his own – MAGICAL
   The number 20, will always pull more than 20 tricks out of his extensive portfolio.
   Quaresma, the Kalashnikov dribbler and shooter for the last 16 round between Portugal and Russia.
3. If you wanted to make predictions, this would not count!! PENALTY-KICK, the “356th” infinite of the competition with help of VAR, the referee’s best friend. And at this time it was not a dive, so Ronaldo smiles at Neymar.
   And you couldn’t guess it!!! Ronaldo misses it… you can only imagine the Messi’s memes coming up instantly later. PHOTOSHOP!!
   Welcome to the world of Harry Kane. The top corner specialist.

4. VAR scores from the penalty-kick…That’s Iran’s verdict!! SUCCESSFUL!!! Ansarifard goal. And dramatic scenes color the match at the 94th minute when Mehdi Taremi could send the country to the next stage. HOW DID HE MISSED THAT?

   Iran - beautiful culture, beautiful country, beautiful heritage, beautiful football. Thank you.

5. It was supposed to be - Welcome to the Quarter-Finals RONALDO!!
   But now it is Portugal-Uruguay!!!

6. Iran 1-1 Portugal
   (K. Ansarifard '93 pen ; Ricardo Quaresma '45)
