Well Brazil back in front but I still maintain the odds do not reflect what is happening on the pitch.
It's not a one side match by any stretch of the imagination, love to see the 1st half stats, now way
will they justify such mad odds, but then it's Brazil and people are backing the name, not the game.
Stats here if you want.
Mexico unlucky not to have a penalty for a Croatian handball in the box. Mexico looking more likely of the two to score/go through here. I can see the end to this game becoming very frantic. Where's the popcorn?
Livescore showing one shot on target all game (from Mexico). Sounds fairly dull from that one stat. Presume it's not quite as bad as all that then?
Can see any half-decent side beating this Brazil team. Suspect Chile may be over-awed given how often they've played (and lost to) Brazil, but you never know. Fred and Hulk are the two best-named players in the World Cup, but they're bloody awful. Neymar's carrying this team.
1-0 Mexico. Great shout Danny!
Mexico fully deserve to be 2-0 up. Looks like it's all over for Croatia.
Mexico's manager resembles a cross between Nick Griffin and a retired WWF wrestler.
Chile will beat Brazil and Mexico will edge Holland I reckon.
Mexico are very defensively solid. Croatia never looked like threatening tonight. Very disappointing from Modric and Rakitic.
Croatia have complately collapsed now. 3-0. There could be more.
3-0 Mexico!
One more goal for either them or Cameroon and Mexico top the group.
With Neymar off, it's hard to see where Brazil are going to get a goal from. This is interesting.
If Mexico score another, they'll top the group and face Chile. Assuming Brazil don't score another.
There's the goal I said wasn't coming.
Oh well.
And Croatia have scored.
So Brazil v Chile and Mexico v Holland.
Still, Brazil have needed a dodgy penalty, an offside goal (Fred's tonight) and at least one, probably two, perfectly good disallowed goals from Mexico against Cameroon to top the group. Not a great sign.
The smell of that 4th goal has bet written all over it. The keeper dived on the spot. Cameroon are bad but they aren't that bad surely?
I'll have to get myself a Campos tribute jersey.

That's a terrible tribute. All their jerseys clearly fit.Quote:

I thought that was a quality performance from Mexico against a good Croatian team made to look very ordinary. They had a strategy (or call it a game plan) and implemented it perfectly. England take note.
I used to always think Mexico were pretty but generally ineffective. No more. And Marquez is still a complete dude of a player.
