FIFA World Cup 2014

Should have been red for Thiago Silva, only for his yellow shirt.

Keeper! MOTM.

 

[pedroims]

I've always hated these Mexico-Brazil games, made me so nervous

 

[Darkstrike]

Shocking that Ochoa is still free to a good home. I can think of but a handful of teams that could do with a keeper that good, if he's consistently this good....

 

[Tituscrow]

Agreed. Mexican keeper having an absolute blinder. What's that...four unbelievable saves?

 

[MartinG1957]

Marcello should be yellow diving bahookie

 

[MartinG1957]

Well done Mexico good point to get. Brazil very not wow. Much mince.

 

[chuck norriss]

Ready for the next match.

I only caught the 2nd half (I am technically working right now) but surprised to see such a dull result here. Ochoa MOTM for sure.

 

[Darkstrike]

It'd be a massive shame for Mexico to not feature in the next round.

 

[chuck norriss]

Marcello

bahookie

And there's that word again.

Woooo Memo Ochoa Player of the game! I'll never mind a tie if it's a good even game. The more I watch Neymar play, great ability, but just not a fan of his game.

He was through and had the ball, could easily have had a shot or cross.

Bawbag.

Dunno why they're not playing Neymar as a striker, much better up front than Jo or Fred, and they have plenty of fine wide options.

I just got home & I've already fired up the TV for the next game. Who says I'm not a "real" soccer fan?

 

[JamesFoxBass]

Cracking matches today, Belgium under performed first half to be rescued by Fellaini and that kid Origi, Mexico holding Brazil in what was an exciting and very hard fought game!

Looking forward to seeing how Russia and SK line up, some canny players in both teams.

 

[chuck norriss]

Kids put on a pregame dance routine. Cute

I meant more in the sense that he has the ability to create great runs for himself, but at times gets too caught into his game of drawing fouls. He does bait people in and draws a lot of well deserved fouls. But I've seen several occasions where it wasn't a hard hit, could easily run thru it, and create a great look for himself/team, yet chooses to take the dive.

Then on other runs commentators are like "look at his speed, look at his touch, going through 3 guys." Yeah Well those 3 guys are just trying not to touch him. They know he's just looking to draw a foul and take a dive.

I get what you meant, just adding my opinion that he's wasted on the wing when he's a fine striker, which they otherwise lack, and they have plentiful good wingers/wide forwards.

Yeah didn't understand that either seeing as Hulk was going to be out, figured Neymar was a sure thing to play up front. Interesting decision on their part.

Russia v South Korea. Has the potential to be a thriller or even duller than Iran v Nigeria.

One day, my fat, stupid friend, I will take you out on an all-dayer at the football.

You have my word.
