Mexico 3, Iran 1

I don't have much to say about this game, mostly because I was rooting for both teams to lose. Mexico because they’re our most hated soccer rivals and got the final seed that could have gone to the U.S. and spared us such a brutal draw. Iran because it’s Iran, and their president says things like "the Holocaust was a myth."Although, after the game, when the Mexican players were tearfully embracing their goalkeeper, Oswaldo Sanchez, who's father died just a few days ago, my cold heart melted a little.

Goal scorers:

Omar Bravo (28'), Mexico (1-0)
Yahya Golmohammadi (36'), Iran (1-1)
