Yep, Dos Santos' awesome volley was not offside.

I'm surprised Cameroon doesn't have Matip and Makoun starting.

very poor form as of late. Gio and Oribe have been miles better than him for the past year or so

Great build up from Cameroon, Eto'o just missed the target.

Cameroon could argue strong for a penalty there. Choupo-Moting got held by his jersey for a full 5 seconds.

World Cup refereeing is always terrible. How did that just happen? Mexico should be 2-0 up...

ugh....First Marquez takes Morenos wide open header and now another disallowed goal (tho that one looked right)

Mexico looks great so far, but we need a scoreline to show for it.

That goal looked fine to me.

This Ref really wants a 0-0 tie.
