Hardly any crowd shots at all Iran v Spain! Yesterday evening there were loads of Egyptians in Pharaoh headrests, mostly looking very glum towards the end. That's understandable.

There was a beautiful Uruguyan woman with a dazzling smile at the end of the last match. Sorry, my research is not very scientific!

Well done Iran for stopping Spain scoring for over half an hour.

2 shots of young women (the first one was a single as in just one woman, in the second shot there were 2 women)! Am I getting better at this?

still no crowd shots of fit young men. There are a few of those on the pitch though

No men in ridiculous outfits?

Haven't seen any. I did see 10 Iranian players in front of their goal for most of the first half though.

I expected Spain to have scored by now.

I didn't miss anything then this first half except for a lot of play acting?

They will. Would be funny if they didn't though!

I've arrived during the break. We have adds. I've got my Excel sheet ready and nothing.

Spain just looking for excuses as to why they haven't scored. It's not as if they've never dived, fallen down at the slightest touch, pretended to be really badly injured & then got up & walked fine the minute the free kick has been given.

Excel sheet ready Lweji! Your dedication puts me to shame. Agree though, no crowd shots at all so far in 2nd half.

Nearly a goal for Iran!

Costa has scored. Still no crowd shots - do you think they've got wind of our research project?

The camera tried to zoom in on the woman left of the celebrating guys but got cut out, still counts I think

Who do we hate more - horrible Diego Costa or dirty Sergio Busquets or fouling Sergio Ramos?

Gotta be Costa for me. The fact he's even playing for Spain.

Crowd shot of beautiful young woman.

Oooh unlucky Iran

Costa for me too.

bizarrely exciting game this for what is basically Spain vs 10 men behind the ball - though the Vuvuzelas may me humming in my ear all night

1. Chelsea
2. England
3. The usual for who I support
4. We are season ticket holders of CFC and members of the England Supporters Club
5. Would almost rather have no Europe than Europa. All depends on whether Hazard stays imo.

Crowd shot: man & woman (looked like man & wife)

Unlucky again Iran! More of that please.

They really deserved a goal now

Bizarrely exciting yes

Did you get those 2 crowd shots, Lweji?

Moreso than Uruguay v Saudi Arabia, despite looking like result will be same

I was slightly distracted during the game messaging a, ahem, colleague.

Anyway, from the few crowd shots, it's something like this:

6 women (one with two, and the same woman twice)
6 other (including one couple, but not a babe)

So, in today's survey, it's about 50-50, yes. But a clear advantage of good looking women over other categories.
And 6-2 on

You don't get many Iranian women in short tops and cleavage, though.
