I obviously missed the FIFA rule change, whereby since 2013 Confederation Cup Brazil are never offside.

But piss poor defending yet again. Are Cameroon simply the worst team at this World Cup?

 

[El Argentino]

Bleh. We'll have to put up with the presence of those pathetic green-shirted Mexicans for another game. I haven't seen so many limp bodies hit the ground since the last Miami Heat game.

And they seem to have a permanent tactic of jumping as hard as they can into the Croatian keeper on every set play possible. Disgraceful.

 

[Thanks SF (a new me)]

Viva El Tri

 

[Mark Anthony]

Did Mexico score three goals in all of CONCACAF qualifications? Second goal was climbing over the defender but...

Croatia really should have won today. They no showed.

Netherlands should easily take out El Tri.

Chile-Brazil....hmmm not sure who to call there. Chile could very well come out on top.

Not w/ refs going for BRA the way they have. Canarinho have a ticket straight to the finals.

 

[Mark Anthony]

Good point. One can only hope some sense of fairness prevails.

I choked on the burrito i was eating

Also, I hope Italy chokes tomorrow!

I hope Mexico hangs around for a bit more, just so I can continue to be entertained by coach Tommy Boy

 

[arnathor]

^^ Nah man, Netherlands are going to pick them apart. I suspect Robben is going to clean up nicely.

 

[Baron]

Mexico has been strong and very consistent in all three matches - naturally Netherlands will be the favorite but I won't be surprised if Mexico moves on.

 

[tylerrrr]

I hate those orange jerseys. No orange jersey team has ever won the world cup.
Anyone notice that it was Netherlands wonderkids doing the scoring today though...wow was all I could say! Also, De jong and De Vrij were amazing.

But I'll take argentina over them at some point just because of my dislike for that color

 

[the shah]

^orange shoes also lead to more injuries than usual

Netherlands will fiZzle out sooner or later, Rob and Rob are the only two bright spots in van gaal's Dutch catenaccio

That's what she said.

 

[tylerrrr]

haha so true.. I guess catenaccio stands for group of greying men. A strong defense will cut down the dutch attack. Argentina, Belgium and Italy would all beat them
