Rebic should've gotten it earlier for that Chicharito foul, what a scum of a player.

Perisic almost with the 2:3!

Thought: Ochoa is the inverse Pletikosa. Ochoa wins games singlehandely, Pleti-man loses games singlehandely

Finke used 21 of his 23 players in the tournament. He's the anti-Scolari :lol:

The Dutch should have a field day with them. Their defense on the other hand is garbage.

Vela is an idiot should have put differences aside. Could have been very useful now for Mexico

Not every squad has Iniesta to slice the defense open like it's nothing. If you watched the Dutch play against Chile today, you've probably noticed how successful they were defending patiently as a unit. If they can replicate that performance on the defensive side of things against Mexico, they'll have a shot at advancing. Otherwise, it's likely going to be game over for the Oranges.

Jordan never fully understood basketball. He had the lowest basketball IQ of any NBA "superstar" in history.

WHAT.A.GAME!

Mexico was patient and never loosed order and were efficient when they needed it.
