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

[Lord Camomile]

More proof that a tournament in Qatar is a rubbish idea. European winter sport not ideal for extremely hot weather.Who knew?

Ooh, ooh, me sir, me!

 

[Lo Siento.]

for a young man that Dutch keeper has pretty rubbish reflexes, doesn't he?

 

[mhendo]

Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Diamond]

Thoroughly deserved.

The Dutch have nothing at present.

 

[purves grundy]

Fuck!

 

[eatmorecheese]

YESSSS

 

[mhendo]

I love the Mexican coach.

 

[magneze]

Excellent goal. Going to be a really good second half now..

 

[Lord Camomile]

He's done it again!

 

[eatmorecheese]

Whoa, great save

 

[MrSki]

102f pitchside

Unlike his Mexican counterpart.

 

[Lo Siento.]

Whoa, great save

with his face

 

[purves grundy]

Should be good final 30

 

[eatmorecheese]

Dutch have woken up

 

[Mr.Bishie]

gabi would be wearing a cardigan.

 

[T & P]

Nice dive, Robben...

 

[purves grundy]

Can see neds losing

 

[mhendo]

Can see neds losing

They're down 1-0, with 18 minutes to go, and you can see them losing?

You are one percipient football analyst!

 

[magneze]

Mexican keeper will be in demand after this world cup!

Did Van Persie touch the ball at all?

 

[mhendo]

RvP substituted.

He's done nothing all game, really. Never looked sharp at all today.

 

[smmudge]

I kind of wanted Netherlands to win it but Mexico have played better so they deserve to go through really. I blame the weather.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

I hope three-at-the-back genius van gaal has the Mancs playing like this soon.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Mexican keeper's like a fuckin octopus!

 

[Lord Camomile]

This. Fucking. Keeper.

I swear the man is a jedi, he seems to always know where to be!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Cynical grump that I am, I can't help thinking he's never going to have a run of saves like this again!

 

[AverageJoe]

The mans face is a football magnet!

 

[Lord Camomile]

The mans face is a football magnet!

Not first on the list of "which superpower would you have", but it clearly has its uses...

 

[Lord Camomile]

You'd hope you could turn it off though, otherwise training would be a pain in the arse. Or face, more likely.
