Which will be the better game to watch? I'm guessing Italy's game?

It's the only one that matters. Costa Rica have qualified no matter what and England are out. Italy and Uruguay are going to be battling for one of the two to qualify.

Italy can draw to qualify because of goal difference while Uruguay need to win the match.

totally... it's kill or be killed. There will be blood in that game.

oohh....Titillating

For OTA broadcast folks:

Univision will have Italy:Uraguay match
Telefutura will have Costa Rica:England match

Good, my reception for Univision is much better than TF where my rabbit ears currently are.

Ok, Mexico needs to win Holland to get revenge against Argentina in semis.

it's now or never, it's the worst Argentina in the last 10 years.

Mexico needs to beat Holland, THEN needs to beat fucking Costa Rica bro. Remember 2002 and everyone thinking we had the USA game in the bag. We got fucking told that day and the moment we believe we have one game in the bag already we are done. Costa Rica isn't going to be a joke game, and frankly, we should be praying to get CIV instead if we even get that far first.

Holland first tho, which... let's see how that goes.

If USA and CR keep leapfrogging us to that 5th game in WCs we really need to something drastic because (and it pains me a lot to say it because we have been playing well this WC) we have been stuck in mediocrity for a very long time now.

Oh god, that cunt? How is he still refereeing? I remember once he disallowed one or two legit Honduras goals vs Costa Rica in the qualifiers and the narrator gave out his hotel address on live tv :lol :lol

Yeah, I agree with you, but I think this Mexico is very different that the one that played in the qualifiers. the defense is a lot better and they are way more creative attacking. They can beat Costa Rica.

Of course, Holland goes first, and we should focus on that.

and that last paragraph, I totally agree with you. We need to recover CONCACAF dominance.

wut? As horrendous as this team has been, nothing, nothing is worse than 2010 Arg.

Well, is a matter of opinions, I guess... I just think that this Argentinian team has a worse defense line that the 2010... and the lack of Tevez makes the attack very bland. Too much Messi dependency

 

[figadapaura]

Oh, I actually hope Smalling and Jones have a good day. Would be good for them to cement a partnership for Man United.

Fuck the rest.

I forgot Mattia will play as a midfielder

I'm sorry man, but that isn't going to happen. You'll just have to get your revenge with some friendly match after the WC. That will also count, it's the thought isn't it

 

[Zabojnik]

This is Keiser Bonucci's game

to fuck up somehow.

DAJE ITAGLIAAAAA!!!

Holland is playing worse each match.
Mexico is playing better each match.

See you on sunday.

Greece's last stand. Come on boys!

The Greek team has been a massive disappointment ever since 2004, if they somehow beat the Ivory Coast, I'll be so happy.

Italy going with 5 at the back with the Juve CB's, Uruguay will have a tough time

 

[alterno69]

Sunday at 1:00PM local time will be hard for Netherlands, i think if Mexico manage to cut control the midfield and Robben we will have a good chance of beating them, even if we have to go to penalties.

 

[sabertoothzombie]

Holland is playing worse each match.

You do see the jump in quality from the game against Cameroon to the game against Croatia

 

[Ingeniero]

My bet is Holland wins on penalties.

 

[figadapaura]

My bet is Holland wins on penalties.

I wouldn't mind the Netherlands winning but

that would suck

 

[alterno69]

As a mexican, i think the pressure is off for the team, they made it through what looked like a tough group coming to the tournament and playing the best futbol we've played in a World Cup IMO, Netherlands even if they have a young team is considered a favorite to win it all, Mexico has nothing to lose plus they always play better when they are labeled as underdogs.

I still think it's 60-40% to Netherlands, maybe more, but this team has the mentality and futbol to beat Robben and his mates.

Bonucci is not a good defender, wouldn't be surprised if he makes some big error

Where is your inner Tico?

I would find really funny if England goes home with nothing. hohohohoho

Oh God.

At least you're through already.

 

[confuziz]

The mexican confidence is so cute and based on absolutely nothing. Brazil was mediocre, cameroon as bad as iran and croatia is just a former shadow of itself.

It's the experience man. I would love to see England go empty handed.

Maybe the Scottish guy is supporting us.

At least you're through already.

And that's why we'll lose

But yeah

 

[Fireblend]

Watch Costa Rica fuck it up. lol

Oh God.

lol dude your negativity before every game is becoming hilarious.

VAMOS TICOS!

 

[alterno69]

The mexican confidence is so cute and based on absolutely nothing. Brazil was mediocre, cameroon as bad as iran and croatia is just a former shadow of itself.

And Spain and Australia were immense right? I'm not saying we will win, i'm saying we have a shot bases on what i've seen from both teams. I think for starters Mexico has a better defense and midfield, you have a better attack, much better actually and that will probably be key for either side, if we manage to control Robben and Van Persie, we might get a good result.

 

[pulga]

Gonna watch the game at a big screen theyve set up in Piazza Venezia. FORZAA AZZURRIIII

Lets hope you don't regret these words on saturday.
Mexico has the crowd support as well.

I'm scared, I don't think anyone can play that well against 3 teams in a row.

Over here at CONCACAF we have to deal with this ALWAYS.

I'm not saying they can't win, but I dont understand where the confidence is coming from. It's not like they have beaten Germany, France or Brazil.

So Spain and Australia were top tier, right? One is also a former shadow of itself and another gave you trouble.

Come on England. Even Spain managed to win its last match. But then again, its England.

He was very good in his previous World Cup match. I've seen plenty of matches where he has been the referee in the Mexican League. He's usually either very good or terrible. There's like no in between lol.
