Day 4: Costa Rica vs Serbia, Germany vs Mexico , Brazil vs Switzerland
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
They remind me of Biesla's Chile (who should have beaten Spain in their group game) in 2010.
Furious and ferocious in everything. Brilliant.

Very bad game from Germany, only Kroos and Kimmich can be happy with their performances. Boateng really poor and stupid decisions for 90 minutes, that awful shot at the end summed him up completely. At fault for the goal as well
You were right. Can only see it as arrogant to think you can play a right back as a right winger in a back four.
Where?
Yeah Low, let's leave Sane at home because god forbid, he'll actually take his chance and start shining for Germany at the WC.
The emotion of those fans.... ahh....
Great game. Loved Chicharito's build up play for the goal and the Keeper's save which pushed the German shot on the bar.
With the exception of Plattenhardt and Neuer, this was the lineup that played great football against Spain in March. What happened?
Now watch them do something stupid like lose against Sweden and draw against South Korea. 
Mexico missed a lot of good opportunities too.. couldve been up more.. im so feckin happy
Easy now.Great game
Well done to Mexico.
Well done to Mexico.
Brilliant win Mexico.
This World Cup has been the perfect antidote to forget the season gone by. Remember how fun football can be

I was thinking that as well, the pressing style worked superb for them
Said it pre match but anyone else surprised Ochoa has never made a good career in europe. Clean sheets in back-to-back world cups against Brazil and Germany now and he had excellent handling on the long range shots, didn't parry any.
Except from Brazil in 2006 every defending world champion failed to make it past the group stage since 1998. Can Germany be next?
Mexico are a dark horse. They play really well together and attack fast on the break. Germany had problems defending the whole 90 minutes and were dominated the first 45.
Gosh we could do with a backup striker like that Mexico no.14..... think Lozano will be one of the breakout stars this world cup, impressed by his first touch and control the most.
This World Cup has been fecking brilliant!
Isn't that what happens when you beat the champions?
What a game. Congrats Mexico
Thanks
I didn't think they would pull it of.Wow Germany made to look like lost boys.
Dismantled by Mexico!
Dismantled by Mexico!
These 1-0 scorelines leave you feeling the game lacked a certain something. I want goals galore. A complete goal fest.
What the hell was Ozil doing in Kimmich's position for the Mexico goal?
On to the group E winners Brazil and Switzerland!
"Defending"What the hell was Ozil doing in Kimmich's position for the Mexico goal?
Don't think so, they always have some exciting moments at the WC and usually get out of the group but always lose in the first knockout round.
Well they didn't pay for the wall, but built one today, to keep the Germans out though, not themselves.
Layun shouldn't start the next game. Wtf was that game ?
I would love to watch Peru vs Mexico

I am having Tequila..
The German team looked slow and old. They actually literally looked old, half of them have got grey hair.
I get the feeling Mexicans could run another 90 minutes.
Brazil vs Germany in the next round?
Mexico were absolutely terrible at the final pass in those counters, so frustrating to watch. Especially Chicharito who had a great game otherwise.

Chicharito costs at least three goals there.
Bielsa’s Chile was a delight to watch in 2010.
Not really. Kimmich was destroyed by Lozano that game and was nowhere to be seen for the goal (why was ozil the furthest player back?). Reus did well as a sub IMO, but the tactics were shambolic from the start and then just all out attack go get back in and did nothing to stop the counter. 100% on Loew.
The Swedish commentator said this and was very excited during the dying minutes: "...and Marquez who is 200 years and has played 9.000 World Cups!"What was that super Mario analogy from the commentator
