For the record, sounds like Roberto Martinez and ESPN are indicating Iran should have been given a penalty kick in the 2nd half. Just saying for the record.

I was either out for a brief time or vaguely remember that, maybe they will show a replay.

Overall, they aren’t calling penalties much in this world cup, France got a penalty kick on play at the left side of the goal net vs. Switzerland.

Overall, better to not call penalties but still, you don’t want to see teams treated harshly as well.

Dejegah was astonishing for Iran. He is a great player on a nobody team. That team played the best team in the World Cup to a draw for 90 minutes. There were a few missed calls, but the Iranian defense was outstanding ... and I definitely do not like Iran the country of murderous mullahs, but that soccer team played an inspired game.
