So I think Uruguay deserved to win.

They didn't.

Their goalkeeper, Alloway, I think had to make nine saves, something like that.

But it was all right.

It was all right.

Yeah, well, I mean, it was a controversial, quite a political event.

New Zealand just happened to be pitched in.

But when the Iranian national anthem was played at the start of the game, there were a lot of boos from the Iran fans.

There was a massive Islamic Republic flag on the pitch and loads of the more old-fashioned anti-establishment lion and sun flags in the stands, even though I think they might have been technically banned, but there was plenty to be seen anyway, these anti-regime flags.

So Iran were obviously well up for this.

Their fans were supporting the players on the pitch, but very much not in favor of the regime.

And Iran went behind to win a Elijah...

What's his name?

Elijah Just.

Yes.

I think you called him Elijah Wood in the intro.

I think I did, yes.

Yeah, so he plays for Motherwell.

He's apparently had a good season.

Motherwell have had a good season.
