David Hawkins:, external On this showing both Argentina and Bosnia are going to annihilate these two. Very poor game.

Mac Jerry:, external I'm surprised to see John Mikel Obi playing just in front of the back four. I would love him to advance more just as his shirt number suggests."

"The service has been terrible to Nigeria striker Emmanuel Emenike. Too many times they've chipped straight balls into him and it's meat and drink to the Iranian defenders.

"Far too many times it's too straight and easy to be broken up. The passing of the midfield three has been poor."

"John Mikel Obi frustrates me when I watch him because he's big and powerful and he gets opportunities to drive forward and draw a defender out and play in behind.

"But he's content to keep it ticking and pass sideways. As a defender you're happy because he's not causing you any problems."

"Nigeria haven't been using the ball quickly enough. They are taking too many touches."

Let's be honest, we've been spoiled at this World Cup so we were due a bad game. Iran will be happy with this and their fans are certainly not complaining. Here's one in London via @bbcpersiansport, external entering into the spirit of the World Cup.

"It has been awful. Iran aren't a good team but Nigeria have to be better in the final third."

"Carlos Queiroz must work a lot on the training ground on the shape of this Iran team. They're not the most creative side but they're honest and genuine and you can't ask any more than that.

"It's not the best game we've seen. Nigeria came out of the blocks quickly but Iran have set their stall out with a 4-5-1 and they've dealt with anything Nigeria have thrown at them.

"It's up to Nigeria to get the goal to open the game up."

Ahmed Ketta:, external If Nigeria can't beat Iran then they have no business in Brazil.

Andrew Kemp:, external Nigeria are definitely having the better of this one. If they scored they could relax a little more.

Andrew Reilly:, external I can't believe Nigeria are playing Efe Ambrose at right-back. I've seen milk turn quicker than him!

Dull, dull, dull.

Nigeria inject some urgency into their play as the interval approaches but they are let down by the quality of crosses into the Iran penalty area. Two minutes of added time.

Matt Williams:, external Oh well, we were bound to get a duff game at some point.

John McEnerney:, external It's taken Iran longer to find their feet, not much big league experience in their side. They'll make it difficult for the others.

Another chance for Nigeria but Emmanuel Emenike loses his composure at the wrong moment and fires hopelessly wide. That is the story of this first half.

Ibby in Liverpool on text: I think Iran and Nigeria need to be reminded that there hasn't been a draw so far. Please don't let the world down.

Ed in West Sussex: Still waiting for the first draw in the World Cup. Could this be the one? Has the first set of matches ever been completed without a draw?

"That is agreat chance for Iran. Great save from Vincent Enyeama though, quality goalkeeper."

So close for Iran. It has taken them over half an hour to win their first corner but it almost results in a goal as Reza Ghoochannejhad forces a fine save after Ashkan Dejagah's flag kick.

"Nigeria had a couple of moments that threatened a goal in the first five or 10 minutes but since then they haven't created a lot.

"Both teams just need to settle down, it's been frenetic and the pitch is lively. Nigeria have tried to slow it down but at times they're rushing things as much as Iran. It's end to end and Iran have worked their socks off so far."

Iran keeper Alireza Haghighi is not helping Carlos Quieroz's blood pressure. His looks to be well out of position as Ahmed Musa sends a curling free-kick towards the net, Haghighi diverting the ball away at the nick of time. Close.

Godfrey Oboabona has bravely soldiered on since receiving treatment but the defender can carry on no longer. Oboabona hobbles off to a standing ovation, his departure paving the way for Joseph Yobo to win his 98th cap and take part in his third World Cup.
