Continuing comment on Iran, this is sports but looks like Iran may be helping the ruling regime in Iraq which would be a good thing actually:
“Iran sends troops into Iraq to aid fight against Isis militants
Tehran hints at cooperation with US to aid Nouri al-Maliki as jihadist group threatens to take Baghdad
Iran has sent 2,000 advance troops to Iraq in the past 48 hours to help tackle a jihadist insurgency, a senior Iraqi official has told the Guardian.”

"Former Brazil international Elber says if Steven Gerrard had been wearing a Brazil shirt he would have won a penalty in the second half of England’s 2-1 defeat to Italy.
The England captain was sent crashing to the floor inside the box by Italy defender Gabriel Paletta, but no penalty was given.
Speaking on German television, the ex-Bayern Munich star said: ‘If Gerrard had worn a yellow jersey, he would have gotten a penalty'
England were chasing an equaliser in the 73rd minute when Gerrard was sent crashing to the floor by his former Liverpool teammate, having pushed the ball past the defender.
Despite England players appealing for a penalty the Dutch referee Bjorn Kuipers waved play on.

I think it was close but probably best a penalty kick was not called in that situation. It would have decided the game probably making it a draw. Then, again, Italy will have to be watched in subsequent games if they do that again.
