Croatia v Mexico (Group A) Monday 23rd June 2014

[juice_terry]

Both teams have to play for, can see Croatia stealing this although I've been impressed with Mexico so would bee a shame for them to go out.

 

[twistedAM]

Really looking forward to this - we got a brilliant Mexican band in the venue playing before the match and they are almost as good at guzzling tequila as they are at playing. I think there's people from Mexican Embassy coming!
So come on Mexico (though I fear Croatia)

 

[starfish]

Will probably be the better of the matches.

 

[SEYYED AMIR]

do you have list of fix player of 2 teams???

 

[stavros]

This is definitely my match of choice this evening. Hopefully Modric and Rakitic will run the show.

Yeah. Typically the main match for itv is the dead rubber between Cameroon and Brazil.

Mexico are unchanged. Croatia have moved modric to attacking midfield and pranjic (I think) as defensive midfield in his place.

Here in San Diego, there is massive support for Mexico. Half the members at my gym are immigrants from Mexico, and about a third of the students i teach are of Mexican background.

¡Arriba Mexico!

 

[ska invita]

I do like to say Hrvatska....any opportunity...Hravataska....feels good to say it.... come on Hrvatska!!

Or Mexico, im not too fussed

 

[Lo Siento.]

why are commentators so bothered by the imaginary yellow card? They bollock on and on about it...

 

[Gingerman]

Croatian coach still looks fit enough to play......

 

[Lo Siento.]

would shoot on sight at Pletikosa, looks like he's no longer got the reflexes...

 

[mhendo]

Great strike, off the bar for Mexico.

 

[mhendo]

Nice through ball, but he couldn't get on the end of it properly.

 

[mhendo]

Total handball by Croatia there, from the corner. Don't know how the officials missed it.

 

[twistedAM]

Meanwhile, the Mexicans here are drinking at moderate-to-lively pace. A draw is good enough for them.
They're mostly looking forward to the half-time set from the band.
They will also play a short set at the end if Mexico qualify.
Go Mex!
(I think I had too much chipotle)

Actually, he looks like a refugee from a GQ advertising spread.

 

[Gingerman]

Those WC ads featuring England players look a tad embarressing right now......

 

[ska invita]

Steven Gerrards Adidas All or Nothing advert cracks me up.... it was always going to be nothing

 

[ska invita]

Lets have some mexican half time entertainment

 

[Gingerman]

Fucking Ray Winstone gambling ad is so shit.....

 

[ska invita]

They share it with BBC. Tonight is ITV's turn. BBC is less shit.
