Neymar at least is an undisputed starter. Götze was subbed in all year. Hard to get burn if Ribéry, Robben and Müller are in front of you.

Pranjic delivers crosses with the precision of a drunkard.

I'm impressed how Neymar deals with the pressure at his age. He's like the only player on his team who seems to forget about all that. He just goes out and plays.

If scoring and fouling frequencies were reversed, CRO-MEX would be the game of the decade.

Thought: MEX has now played 245 minutes without getting scored on. With these hi scoring matches, not bad at all.

Croatia knows they need to win in order to qualify? They are showing no heart at all.

Not even comparable to the Bosnian offside call, but it was the second hand ball by Croats this terrible ref missed.
