[SideWinder]

Why is Carlos Vela not in the Mexico squad?

Doesn't get on with anyone apparently. Here is one article about it:

Oh a nice double dive

 

[MooMoo444]

Can scratch Robben dive from the bingo card

 

[Robbo]

They must all be knackered playing in close to 40c! Not ideal.

 

[Pighardia]

Surely they have soneone better than Sneijder to come on?... They need to score here, and in this heat they can't afford any passengers

Is it the climate that is the undoing of the European teams I wonder?

Slight coincidence that all the South American teams are winning.

Costa Rica topping the group!

Course it is, was always going to be the case though..

It's fractions obviously, but they add up..

Can't be helping, Qatar will fun

I'm calling Saudi Arabia for 2022.

It's not going to be Holland's day.

 

[Pighardia]

Also isn't helping that this is Netherlands, and they always do this. Start the tournament with a good performance, everyone says they are gonna win it, then they choke. They aren't a very good team.

They aren't out of this though of course. Could still go through.

With this heat it's more of an endurance test than a high quality game of football, the South American's are used to it so they obviously have a big advantage. European teams are clearly having to take things easy.

Can't believe Netherlands will be undone by a single goal, after they scored 10 in the groups and mexico only scored 4. I know that's irrelevant now but it seems unfair.

 

[Psycho Ned]

This keeper is unbeatable lol! Even though that was offside.

 

[Cosimo]

Offside and still can't score.

 

[Pighardia]

Definitely the keeper of the tournament so far!

Mexico have only conceded one goal though to be fair

EDIT: You can make that two

 

[Purdy]

boom

 

[Merlin5]

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!

 

[Viper²]

Gutted Mexico!

 

[opethdisciple]

What a goal that was!
