Iran v Nigeria
Gary Lineker presents live coverage from Curitiba as Group F outsiders Iran face reigning African champions Nigeria. With commentary from Steve Bower and Kevin Kilbane.
Gary Lineker presents live coverage of the World Cup game between Iran and Nigeria, which takes place at Curitiba's Arena da Baixada.
The Iranians are the outsiders in Group F and have won only one of their previous nine World Cup matches. They are coached by former Real Madrid boss Carlos Queiroz, who led Portugal at the 2010 tournament. The majority of Queiroz's squad play their domestic football in Iran, but he has also selected several players born abroad of Iranian descent - such as Fulham's Ashkan Dejagah.
Nigeria are the reigning African champions and will have high hopes of reaching the last 16 for the first time since 1998. The Super Eagles' biggest star is Chelsea's John Obi Mikel, who tends to play a more creative role for his country than for his club.
