Cesars saves to the middle will be Brazils undoing. That is Muller-zone.

Compare this goalkeeping to the Croatian dude in game 1. Ochoa is stealing a point.

His positioning is what's impressed me the most.

**** man, guys couldn't get it done unfortunately. Please Felipao, don't play Fred anymore.

Those spots for me tended to be with Ochoa involved, I did like the way Mexico played. I didn't find it that entertaining perhaps was because I was expecting more from Brazil, but they were really average.

Either way fully deserved point for Mexico
