There's a point where consistency turns into a curse.

You're going to have it tough against the Netherlands again.

Yup

Penalties on 94, lost in 98 after a great comeback from the germans, lost vs usa in 2002, lost in extra time vs Argentina iin 06 with a gorgeus goal from Maxi Rodríguez (he will never score a goal like that again), lost again vs argentina in '10.

It seems that México's place is between 9th and 16th
 
My father still blame the referee for that, he disallowed a goal against Germany that would have put Mexico in semifinals. He disallowed it because of a non-existent hand.

The referee was also Colombian.
And your father would be right. My dad was right there at Estadio Universitario of the UANL in a packed 50,000 fiesta when that happened. Such a damn shame.

Before the apprentice/master thing gets out of hand, let's not forget that Klinsi was mainly the motivational speaker while Jogi was responsible for the strategy/tactics behind the scenes. It was an open secret during Klinsi's tenure. They made for a good team and Klinsi is honestly one of the best possible fits the US team could ask for.

"Football is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win."

This puzzles me as well. What the hell is he talking about and why is he asking about it while on a WC stadium? I mean is he doing it only to be witty? Is he forcing a meme? I don't get it.

Jeez, lets get back to the topic at hand.

Mexico played wonderful football today, Brazil also looked like they finally found the rhythm.

I don't want to belittle Brazil victory, but they were playing against Cameroon* (the worst team of the tournament, so far... right?).

*I didn't see the match, only the goals.

I was introduced to top level soccer by a dear older Italian man over a bad stolen satellite signal.

FORZA ITALIAAAAAAAAAAA

This world cup has seen real stoppage time. Most championships ww usually go for +1,+2 or +3.

+4, +5 make a lot more sense if you look at how much time the ball actually does not stay in play.

Yup, theres definitely some mandate from above to extend the games.

5 is very rare in league play. Its like every other game this time. And I think two games did 6, which is unheard of, short of a super serious injury or a crowd invasion or something.

What's extending the games is all of the flopping. Referees generally don't extend time for things that happen during the normal run of play line goal kicks, throw ins etc. Stoppage time is often called injury time as a reference. There have been a ton of serious injuries but also flops which make games last forever. Don't blame anyone other than the players.

Bosnia-Nigeria

Nigerian players basically fake injured and were on the floor for about 10-15 total during 2nd half,seriously....and how much time was added? 3 fuken minutes!!
Thanks fifa, along with the disallowed goal + a foul on our player when Nigeria scored, cant get worse than that
