Brazil v Mexico (Group A) Tuesday 17th June

[rekil]

Yes! Bernard is ON!

 

[Barking_Mad]

They look poor, especially against a team that had to beat New Zealand to qualify.

More slow motion footage of happy young children and pretty women in the crowd is needed, I think.

 

[Balbi]

Yes! Bernard is ON!

Dragged him out of the British Legion and a game of cribbage

 

[editor]

It's a bit rubbish this game.

 

[weltweit]

It's a bit rubbish this game.

My thinking too...

I just watched a video of Ronaldo's goals (a vid listed after the one posted a little up the thread) now that was worth watching!

 

[ska invita]

two skillful teams negating each other

 

[Sunray]

Mexicans final ball is rubbish.

[JimW]

Yellow card for ska

 

[Barking_Mad]

Brazil are woeful. Mexico lack someone to pull the strings in midfield. Wouldn't surprise me to see them nick a goal.

 

[Balbi]

Don't want to curse this either way but one of these teams is technically at home

 

[JimW]

Getting there

 

[ska invita]

jesus christ! Julio Cesar!!

 

[editor]

Mexico deserve this, although I wouldn't be surprised if Brazil get one with an individual effort. But as a team, it's very poor from Brazil. Very little spark and imagination thus far. I'm actually bored watching this game.

 

[Balbi]

60 mins was where the ref went Brazil last time too

 

[big eejit]

Brazil looking as poor as they did in the first game before the ref gave them a leg up.

 

[Barking_Mad]

If this was England playing we'd be slating them as being shite. "can't beat Mexico ffs"

 

[marty21]

dull match

 

[Balbi]

Ref card happy now. Wouldn't be surprised if someone had a word, as his first half perfomance was pretty lenient.

 

[Sunray]

Like they are going to score from there.

Ahh I remember. Mexican football which now includes the MLS, play this weird end to end football. Nobody really defends till the last third then it's intense defending they lose it or have a long range shot. It's like someone has tried to incorporate a bit of basketball into football. It's exciting for a bit but I get bored of it quickly.

 

[editor]

Ref card happy now. Wouldn't be surprised if someone had a word, as his first half perfomance was pretty lenient.

The only way Brazil are going to win is if Mexico get a player or two sent off. I'm sure the ref has been sent the memo.

 

[magneze]

Marcelo is their best player atm. Brazil need to change something. Who's on the bench?

 

[binka]

brazil will definitely get 9 points in this group and knocked out next round

 

[editor]

This is RUBBISH.

 

[JimW]

I'd have brought Bob on meself

 

[big eejit]

Jo. Desperate.

 

[ska invita]

i disagree...england would be struggling against either of these teams in this form... lots of skill out there

 

[marty21]

be interesting if Mexico beat them , then Croatia win their 2 games, Brazil beat Cameroon, could end up with 3 teams on 6 points

 

[Barking_Mad]

Joe, Fred, Hulk, Bernard, Danny, Oscar.

This is why they are crap.
