CURITIBA, Brazil -- Nigeria and Iran delivered the first draw of the World Cup on Monday as they ground out a scrappy 0-0 stalemate in their opening match in Group F. Devin Singletary Jersey . The draw at the Arena da Baixada in the southern Brazilian city of Curitiba followed 12 mostly high scoring and attacking games. After a first half in which Nigeria failed to capitalize on its dominance, chances were few and far between in the second. In the early passages of play, Nigeria had shown menace, with much of its attacking thrust coming down the left with Emmanuel Emenike and Victor Moses combining to cause problems for the defensively-minded Iran side. Nigeria came closest to scoring in the seventh minute when an Ahmed Musa goal was disallowed after John Obi Mikel was adjudged to have fouled Iran goalkeeper Alireza Haghighi at a corner. Iran grew more confident as the game progressed and came close to scoring in the 34th when a Reza Ghoochannejhad header required a sharp save from Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama. In the second half, both sides were guilty of sloppy passages of play, to the growing annoyance of the mainly Brazilian crowd. Players from both sides snatched at chances, and neither goalkeeper was troubled despite some frantic late pressure in the final minutes. "They had 11 people behind the ball, which made it hard for us to create chances," Mikel said. "Its frustrating because they sat back." Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi said his team became anxious when it failed to score during a dominant opening 25 minutes. But he added: "Respect to Iran, they had their game plan to sit back and defend and they did well." Keshi, who played for Nigeria at the 1994 World Cup, is already anticipating a backlash after the draw. "Win or lose Im criticized," said Keshi, whose side won last years Africa Cup of Nations. "A draw now, Ill be criticized. Its part of the game. In my country, its win at all costs and sometimes it doesnt go that way." The best chance either side has to progress in the tournament is to beat debutant Bosnia-Herzegovina, as Argentina is the firm favourite to top the group. Lionel Messi scored one of the tournaments best goals in Argentinas 2-1 victory over the Bosnians on Sunday. Iran coach Carlos Queiroz said the result was "fair" and that his players deserved "sympathy and respect" for performing on the biggest stage despite the impact of economic sanctions on the country -- which made it difficult to arrange friendlies. "Were not here to perform the role of the happy loser," Queiroz said. "The fans need to know the conditions we have endured for three years to get here." Queiroz wouldnt talk about the teams next game against Argentina. "Now Im so tired just let me enjoy this point we collected from Nigeria," he said. The draw means the winless World Cup runs of both teams continues, dating back to France 1998. For Iran, though, this was the first time it had not conceded a goal at the World Cup finals. Thurman Thomas Jersey . It was the most lopsided loss in Lakers history. Darren Collison had a team-high 24 points while starting at shooting guard for the injured Jamal Crawford. Chris Paul added 13 points and 11 assists for the Clippers, who apparently are trying to make up for decades of humiliation at the hands of the Lakers all in one season; theyve won the last two meetings by a combined 84 points. O. J. Simpson Jersey .Y. - The Philadelphia Eagles game at Green Bay against the Packers on Nov. http://www.cheapbillsjerseysauthentic.com/?tag=authentic-bruce-smith-jersey . Louis Blues were workmanlike, methodical and -- most of all -- effective on Monday night.Four years after leaving Crystal Palace with the club in financial disarray, Neil Warnock returned for a second spell as manager of the Premier League team. The 65-year-old Warnock, who is one of the most outspoken, colorful characters in the English game, joined Palace on a two-year deal Wednesday to resume a coaching career that began in 1980 and has included 13 different clubs. He has been out of work since leaving Leeds in April 2013. In his two previous managerial stints in the Premier League, he failed to keep Sheffield United up in 2007 and was fired by Queens Park Rangers — the club he quit Palace for in 2010 — in January 2012 as it battled against relegation. Warnocks appointment was announced in a two-sentence statement on Palaces website, which said he would be in charge for Saturdays match against Newcastle. Palace has lost its first two games, against Arsenal and West Ham. Palaces preparations for the season were thrown into turmoil when Tony Pulis quit just 36 hours before the opening match. Former Cardiff manager Malky Mackay was onn the verge of being announced last week as Pulis replacement. Cheap Bills Jerseys China. But a deal was scrapped after Mackay was accused by Cardiff of sending a string of inappropriate text messages during his time at the Welsh club, a controversy that is now the subject of a Football Association investigation. Since then, Tim Sherwood, Neil Lennon and Steve Clarke have been linked with the vacancy but Palace turned to a coach who spent 2 1/2 years at Selhurst Park from 2007-10, when the south London club was in the second-tier League Championship. Warnock left after Palace slipped into administration and was handed an automatic 10-point penalty. One of Warnocks first tasks at Palace likely will be talking to midfielder Jason Puncheon, who was fined 15,000 pounds ($25,000) by the FA in March for comments made on Twitter about Warnock. Warnock had criticized Puncheon for missing a penalty against Tottenham, saying: "Theres no way I wouldve trusted him with a penalty. Youve got to have somebody a little bit more cool, and hes not like that, Jason."
