So knowing our luck, he will be garbage. Good to know.
Mexico is still playing a lot better than they were.
In qualifiers in 2013:
Mexico - Jamaica 0-0
Honduras - Mexico 2-2
Mexico - USA 0-0
Panama - Mexico 0-0
Mexico - Costa Rica 0-0
Mexico - Honduras 1-2
USA - Mexico 2-0
Mexico - Panama 2-1
Costa Rica - Mexico 2-1
Playoffs:
Mexico - New Zealand 5-1
New Zealand - Mexico 2-4
Really? You're bringing up games against Panama, New Zealand and Jamaica?
Really now?
Netherlands - Hungary 8-1 . bestest team ever
Is this a joke? This team is in no way worse than the 2010 one.
lol we weren't even in fourth gear and we won.
you drew against ghana and only because klose bailed you out.

Their confidence is coming from a solid defense, crowd support and a huge win in their last game.
Holland should respect Mexico, just like Brazil should repect Chile.
and the leapt of quality from pre-WC friendlies to yesterday game is notable too.

Vamos Costa Rica!!!
It's relevant, is it not? Mexico played like shit in the qualifiers and barely made it in. They seem to be playing much better now.
I'm not saying I'd favor Mexico over Netherlands, but Mexico is playing a lot more confidently now and are playing much more cohesively. They were completely out of sync in the qualifiers. Just a disaster.

this is a conflicting a match,
I like Uruguay but Italy has done a good job of defeating Germany in recent history.
If Italy goes through, they are our best hope to prevent a German championship win

Games pre-wc are never relevant in my opinion.
I think you didn't get the point of the post.

Yeah, but won't the winner go against Colombia? I want whatever team that can stop them to go through (life of a neutral party)
it's not, but you are dismissing Mexico's matches pretty easily there. I'd say Neymar is now of the top 3 players of the tournament, actually to me he has been the best, Robben has looked great too but in bursts, Neymar has been basically him
+10 in Brazil and Mexico managed to control him most of the match.
Mexico has also shown great mental strength, having to deal with wrongly denied goals in the first match and a clear penalty not given yesterday.
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

That nasralla meltdown was epic

Yeah. Chile really gave Holland a hard time there. You guys need to do something about defensive "height" tho. Chile is in constant threat through the air because defenders are "short" by football standards.
You said Brazil was mediocre, dude. By that measure we might as well call Germany, France, Argentina all mediocre too.
Wait, are people saying Brazil wasn't mediocre? for real? Have you seen them play?
Not yet.

What, no room for negativity now!!
I think the main point people are trying to make is that you should tone it down a little and respect Mexico's team.
Argentina has been mediocre and should thank Messi for their 6 points. France has a great team but they are yet to face a good opponent and we all saw that even Germany is vulnerable.
I wouldn't call them mediocre, i'd say they have been average maybe and yet they still managed to win 3-1 and 4-1, plus a tie vs Mexico which they could've won if it wasn't for Ochoa.
Also Neymar is so far the player of the tournament for me.

C'mon Uruguay!!!!!!! Germany needs dat Italian Kryptonite out of the way to have a chance in the KO rounds!
And oh, that CRC v ENG game is purely academic at this point. Rooting for CRC to see whether they can complete the destruction of ENG.

So Holland is the only "not mediocre" team in the tournament?
I hope you see the irony of your post.
Australia scored 2 goals against them.
Neymar scored four goals, one of which was a pen.
Robben scored three goals and assisted once.
I'd say it's about even.
No, France, Chile, Germany, Costa Rica (so far) and Colombia imo.
Never said they are mediocre, just stating the obvious.
But what if Suarez bites Pirlo?

That's some "mistake" when you ask a person on a payroll to go sit behind a computer and shop the face of Obama on a player in a official kit.

Yeah, sorry, I wanted to quote you and the other guy together. It would have made more sense. Sorry.

thinking long term
Well, you were implying mexican fans should be basically saying good bye to the tournament by saying we had no reason to be confident. I don't see anyone here saying Mexico has the win in the bag, all we were saying is we have a shot, we have played as a team and much better than expected and we have a shot on sunday to make history.
No problem buddy, no need to apologize. We are all just having fun with this WC
