African champions Nigeria drew 0-0 with Iran last night in their Group F match, producing the first tie in the 2014 World Cup. Both teams were booed off the field at the Atletico Paranaense ground by obviously disappointed fans while Nigerian midfielder John Obi Mikel, who had completed 93 passes all-through the match, was named "Man of the Match" afterwards.
Defending the game, Iranian head coach Carlos Queiroz had this to say after the match:
"Iran has won the respect from all over the world. The key is not the Boos, I don't care about it. The most important thing is we take one point back."While Nigerian head coach Stephen Keshi said:
"It's not the end of the world. That's football, and sometimes it's hard to explain, just like the match between Spain and the Netherlands. We just can't score today (Monday)."Iran would next face Argentina, and Nigeria is to meet Bosnia and Herzegovina in the second round. What do you think our chances are?
