France vs Mexico

[frogwoman]

i won't be around in all probability to see this one, but i am hoping for a draw because otherwise south africa are basically fucked. 2-2 would be a reasonably good result.

 

[Teaboy]

10 - 0 to Mexico. All hand balls.

 

[twistedAM]

No big loss if SA get dumped.
Hope Mexico can find a goalscorer (and a goalie over 5'8" might help too)

 

[kained&able]

france to spank em.

If I'm being cynical, I would say it's actually quite a good thing if SA don't make the next round. Half full stadiums in the last 16 / qtr finals would help the 2018 bid quite a bit.

Slept through most greece/nigeria after feeling abit shit so hoping even more this will be a good game! C'mon mexico!

 

[nicksonic]

if mexico can sort their finishing out i'd say them to win by the odd goal.

 

[George350r]

Dont care for France or Mexico... Don’t even know if I'll watch the game, but I want Mexico to win.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

It'll be fun to watch especially if france lose.

 

[rutabowa]

they should get some tarahamura in the mexico team, they would win for sure: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarahumara#Athletic_prowess

I'm English. Therefore it is my patriotic duty to support Mexico this evening. I am now off to make some chili for my tea.

Andalay! Viva Mexico!

I'd like to see France raise their game after their no-show against Uruguay, although be interesting to see if Dos Santos plays as well as he did against South Africa.

 

[Shreddy]

Fuck France. Viva Mexico!!! (my wife is from Paris...this is the standard mantra from me in our household with all things French...to her chagrin.)

what's your position on camembert?

 

[Lord Camomile]

If, if, Mexico can bloody finish some chances, we could be in for a not-very-big-shock.

Cheesy.

it's a relatively large if though. perhaps the requirement to win will sharpen the minds of the mexicans.

Who the fuck is that whistling along to La Marseillaise?!

Aw, Evra

Massive, enoooormous "if". I do think the bigger shock will be not that Mexico beat France, but that Mexico scored some goals

It always makes me think of "Father Ted"

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oooh, team sheets with yellows next to their name, we're properly into the tournament now

Rather shamedly, this one is lost on me

Father Jack makes them all stand up and salute to it in one episode.

Otherwise it makes me think of the play "Marat/Sade" in which it is sung.

Wonder if people make such strange connections to "God Save The Queen"

 

[ska invita]

remeber France came 2ns last world cup and won the previous one - dont misunderestimate them

 

[Shreddy]

Mexico needs a national uplift right now as much as South Africa itself. Viva Pancho Villa!!!

 

[Lord Camomile]

I think most people are just waiting for it to end

Oh, Dos Santos! Well offside, but in my FF team so hoping he bags a couple (and he's not on the bench, unlike fucking Forlan ).

 

[Lord Camomile]

Some poor kid'll probably have to climb halfway up Table Mountain to get that Anelka free kick back.




We used that one yet?

 

[nicksonic]

selfish bastard vela.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ain't nowt wrong with being 5'7"

That Anelka shot? Some poor kid'll have to... ah, fuck it.
