Enjoyed it. Brazil now in danger of not winning the group.

I'm assuming the ref wasn't bent this time.

I'm assuming the ref wasn't bent this time.

I thought the same when he waved away the penalty claim.

That goalie was excellent. And Marcelo. What a daft, flappy-armed twat.

not may teams can run brazil around liek this ...shown no fear today

I was impressed by Mexico, a lot of speed and subtle technique combined with a steely determination, it was a good positive mix, everybody in the media is going to criticise Brazil, but Mexico took the game to them, Brazil had their chances, but Ochoa in goal was outstanding. The second half saw Mexico really take the game to Brazil with counter attacking football and an array of long shots peppering Cesar in goal for Brazil (who also had a good game), many just missing target.

Mexico know how to take on Brazil, keep them busy, keep pressurising them, sit back and be afraid and Brazil will run you around.

I liked the game largely because of the Mexico style and approach.... Can't understand why some thought it a poor game. No goals, but a lot to savour.

I enjoyed the first Mexico game too, their attitude and teamwork are making them one of my favourite teams so far. Also, the manager's reactions are quite funny!

That Mexican goalie did a really good job.

I think both teams would be hammered by Germany judging on the matches so far.

they were very impressive in every area, but they were playing against 10 men for much of it. Still, looked totally dominant and in control.
