Can someone gif me the boohoo reaction from some of the fans after the Neymar goal?

 

[exarkun]

Neymar is so good, damn

that assist was better than the goal.

 

[alterno69]

Mexico played a decent game after the first goal but i'm glad we didn't tie. The team and the federation need a wake up call. We need a new manager style badly, compare this team with the one that one the Olympics a year ago, that team had lost of sacrifice and pressured teams really high on their field. This sitting back and trying to counter attack only works if you have players like Suarez, Ronaldo, Neymar and the like. Mexican forwards need the ball fed to them from the side lines or from really close to the box.

I hope we beat Japan and come back to Mexico and rethink where this team is going or else i predict the world cup(if we even make it there) will be very similar to this tournament.

Yep. So talented.

Very excited to see him doing 1-2s with Messi and Iniesta, not Hulk and Fred :lol

 

[John Dunbar]

Yep. Though his team will get destroyed if/when they play Spain.

This Spain is good, but they're not unbeatable anymore. Hell, they even drew against fucking Finland.

What does a tie do for Italy here? I know a win and we are in but not sure what a tie does other than mathematically eliminate Mexico.

Brazil is in.

If Italy wins, theyre in.

If Italy ties, then the only way theyre NOT in is if they lose to Brazil AND Japan beats Mexico, then the goal dif comes into play.

Mexico can only get in if Japan wins today, and then they beat Japan by a significant margin, while Brazil beats Italy by a significant margin.

But who cares. Fraud tournament is fraud.

Nice Buffon save there! Japan pressing early but that was to be expected.

 

[survivor]

Just watched the highlights for the Brazil-Mexico match. That assist by Neymar was beautiful.

[criesofthepast]

This tournament sucks ass. Even the italian bench laughing after that second goal not giving a fuck.

 

[jamesinclair]

[Clydefrog]

Japan's bodies were ready

 

[Nemesis121]

Great game so far...

 

[criesofthepast]

Well despite the ref being a wanker on that penalty I think if Italy want it, they can at the very least tie.

 

[Mr.Swag]

I like Japan in this

 

[sneakypete]

Exciting game, lmao @ Chiellini talking to Honda

 

[criesofthepast]

Balo had that anyways even if Japan didn't own goal.

 

[sneakypete]

The ref's just trying for consistency, shit penalty for both teams now.

I guess. I'm just a little biased since I want Mexico to advance

 

[exarkun]

Balo finally turning it around for this tourney. Great for him, hes so fearsome when hes on point.

 

[Mr.Swag]

Italy up out of nowhere

 

[beato_angelico]

I think balotelli has never missed a penalty in his pro career, that's quite amazing.

 

[sneakypete]

As well as they're playing it seems unfair how unlucky Japan have been.

 

[CrashBandicoot]

Why is Pirlo so fucking terrible in this game? I've never seen him this bad.

 

[jamesinclair]

yeeeeeeees

 

[Nemesis121]

Took a week for us to get a great game...

 

[Guru-Guru]

[Metra]

Japan and Italy are making a great duel. Very fun game to watch!

 

[jamesinclair]

The crowd is amazing, they hate Italy

 

[Mr.Swag]

What a match.

First time I watch soccer in a year or two. Glad I randomly put espn on

 

[Ravensmash]

This match is amazing. Wow.

 

[jamesinclair]

Incidentally, how is it that no stadium has a net behind the goal? Isnt that stadium 101?

 

[TangMeng]

[Lunchbox]

[Metra]

Nah, we don't hate Italy. Japan's showcasing and oustanding football tonight. And we're loving it. What a nice surprise!

But Italy is Italy... they'll probably win the game.
