Netherlands v Mexico (Knockout Stage) Sunday 29th June 2014

[juice_terry]

Hard one to call this as both teams have looked good, more penalties and the Dutch to steal it.

 

[Onket]

Should be a great game, this one. I've got family on both sides so difficult to say who I'd prefer to win.

Both nations have proper supporters too.

 

[Barking_Mad]

I'm going for the Dutch.

 

[Lo Siento.]

I think Mexico have been truly excellent thus far, but in a tight game the Dutch will take their chances and the Mexicans probably won't...

 

[Badgers]

Looking forward to this one. Mexico playing very well but expect a tight game. Something like 3-2 either way.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Stuck at work for the first half and will have to stay here for the second, but definitely looking forward to this match. Here's hoping it delivers

 

[marty21]

The Dutch should take it, could be a great game

 

[twentythreedom]

I'm off the coast of Holland, heading for Den Helder. Hoping to get in and find a bar (and a coffeeshop ) in time for the game. When's KO?

 

[Lord Camomile]

5pm UK time, so three hours from now.

 

[Badgers]

5pm UK time, so three hours from now.

Cheers for that

 

[Lord Camomile]

Cheers for that

Well I don't know what fecking time zone "off the coast of Holland" is?!

[Lord Camomile]

And a half.

nice to see your proper avatar return

 

[Badgers]

nice to see your proper avatar return

Thank you, I feel normal again

 

[juice_terry]

Had an urge walking past the bookies and stuck 50p on Netherlands to win 4-0 @40/1 ... not going to happen

 

[Lord Camomile]

Viva Mexico! Hup Holland, hup! Bally-hurrah football!

 

[mhendo]

¡Arriba Mexico!

 

[Onket]

The pitch looks like it's from the 70s!

 

[Lord Camomile]

The pitch looks like it's from the 70s!

I thought the same

 

[twistedAM]

Come on Mexico, send them back to Trafford.

 

[Onket]

I thought the same

Is this one of the ones they painted? Doesn't look so good close up.

 

[Lo Siento.]

Holland on the same strategy as against Chile... "here, have the ball, go on, push up a bit..."

 

[mhendo]

Close! Mexico is looking pretty good.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Dos Santos finally looking rather good

 

[starfish]

Would like to see Mexico go through but i have a feeling they wont.

 

[Lo Siento.]

Would like to see Mexico go through but i have a feeling they wont.

I think they'll run Holland around for the entire 90 minutes, fluff some great chances and then lose 2-0 to a Robin Van Persie snap shot and a late counter-attack goal...

 

[Diamond]

First time I've seen that!

Why don't they stop the clock?

 

[Lord Camomile]

What is football's obsession with keeping the clock running? They're all stopping for three minutes, stop the bloody clock

 

[Diamond]

El Tri far superior atm. Should be at least 2 clear of the tight fisted edam munchers.
