We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!
Match 13 - Nigeria v. Iran
Right then - we're just back from some tasty fish tacos at a local spot and joining the "Moves Like" Dejagah vs. "Holy Moses" battle between Iran v. Nigeria. This one smells to me like the first possible draw of the tournament. I hope I'm wrong about that. Join us on the LOB to find out.

Hello Bob. Not much action so gar. Enjoyed the lunch.
The only marginal interest I've got in this one is whether Nigeria are good enough to pip Bosnia for second place in Group F. Not convinced so far. They'll definitely have to put Iran to the sword today.
Yes, MUR - the fish tacos were much more spicy than this rubbish fest.
So far the least entertaining match of the tournament as Joseph Yobo is on for Godfrey Obamama.
Absolutely Bob. Its been a borefest.
There's not much going on. Which means that the only way is up! Stay positive.
Nigeria are doubling down on the defensive destroying territory by bringing Joseph Yobo on.
Reza Jahanbakhsh with a free header. The first decent chance for Iran.
Iran win a corner of f a great tackle then nearly score off the corner.
Is that the Dutch Iranian?
Emenike with a shot that really sums up this half. Definitely the poorest match of the tournament to date. Shocking.
Jacob Steinberg on the Guardian blog says, "I'll drink ten pints of Coors Light if someone from either side does something interesting in the next minute."
Both sides booed off at half-time and rightly so. That was abject.
0-0 at the half of this rubbish festt. The first legitimate scoreless half of the tournament. The Gooner has been napping.
The second half is underway. Rubbish match with rubbish commentators.
Gooner's suggesting that the use of two balls might make this match at least a bit more entertaining.
Yobo fouls Mick De Jagger in a clash of relegated players.
Shola Ameobi comes on for a late cameo to add a bit of firepower up front.
Shola Ameobi on for Moses who failed to part the Persian Sea.
This is more evidence that both Africa and Asia have too many slots. I would have much preferred to see Sweden than either of this lot.
He violated the ten commandments.
I'm quite enjoying how bad this game is. It's utter nonsense. Nothing is happening. But it makes you appreciate how good every other match has been.
These teams are PANTS!!!
I don't want a nil niller!
see my comment at the end of the Germany match?
Tom and Matt are both going with different groups of friends to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the US match.
Should be fun for them
I have been invited over the high school varsity coach's house to watch it
Oh dear - it's Peter Odemwinge on now.
Andranik finally gets a card for serial offenses.
Good afternoon UWS. We have all been appalled by the poor level of play.The Goober even took a nap.
Dejagah is swept into the Ashkan of history. He was rubbish today.
Sounds good, mate - I hope you enjoy it more than this one. It's been a stinker.
We are going to watch with John but at.someone elses house.
We were talking about that one, mate. The Iberian Peninsula has given up nine goals!
De Jagger sure hit a lot of sour notes.
Definitely didn't "Move Like" Dejagah today.
Come on… score a goal… someone!
Ameobi heads straight to the keeper. Had to say something.
Agreed. That would give us a round 40 goals from 13 matches.
I stood in front the Happy Tart today.
The first draw, scoreless match, and scoreless second half about to happen.
First scoreless match draw and scoreless second half of the tournament.
