Good thing about playing against Brazil on saturday is we have the chance to make history. The odds are against us, but sometimes... even the unthinkable can happen. And if it doesn't, I'll still be there, supporting.

VAMOS CHILE, CARAJO!!

I <3 this World Cup

GOAT so far
 
Way to go Mexico. Sucks that they gave up that one goal at the end ruining their defensive streak, but great game still.

Now the US needs to advance. I'm really worried that Ghana is going to destroy Portugal and beat us in GD.
 
So has Mexico started building that Zusi statue yet?

Amazing how they got into the WC thanks to pity and now they're in the final 16. What a turnaround.
 
I get to see holland v Mexico as my final World Cup match in Fortaleza.

I had hoped for a second that it would be holland v Brazil, but Mexico fans are just as loud (they were in the Brazil v Mexico match I saw already).

If anyone knows someone from holland or Mexico who is keen to go to the game but doesn't have a ticket, I would be open to selling if the price is right.
 
all of the south american big guns (brazil, colombia, chile and uruguay if they beat italy) except argentina will get placed so that only one can make it past the quarters. south american death match coming and europeans will take the title.
 
Yes we could all do it. We just don't like getting paid tens of thousands a week.

Well the article did over-simplify the goalies role, but you can't argue those statistics. Goalies stop more goals when they just stand still in the centre than they do diving left or right.
 
Great, intense match all the way through. I'm really proud and if they keep playing with this spirit and willpower, I'll be happy regardless of the result of the match against oranje.
 
I think the Netherlands will beat Mexico in the Belgium style in the end, but who knows, maybe Mexico will score first and the things will be much more interesting.

Come on. Penalty kicks are just a small aspect of what a goalie actually does.

Watch a full competitive match and see things like anticipation, good decision making, jumping in between players, hand play, foot play, closing gaps, etc etc etc. All things good goalkeepers have to excel in.
Of course there is skill to being a goalie. It is a tough as fuck job to be the last line of defense for your team and frankly, it is idiotic to believe anyone could do it.
 
I can't even express how overjoyed I am Mexico won. I was pissed at the handball and penalty not being called. But now there's a tough game ahead.
