FIFA World Cup 2018 - GROUP F [Germany, Mexico, Sweden, Korea Republic - 17/18/23/27 June] **spoiler

[FrankJH]

Well done Mexico, dead on their feet for the last 30 or so, but the whole mexico team worked together every second of that match

 

[trigg_27]

On to the next match... I'm tempted by Xhaka to be carded at 11/4

 

[Kenai]

It was tense, but I held on. £37.50

Stick it all on Switzerland

Brandt looked far more dangerous in the 5 minutes he played than Draxler did all game.

Thought that Werner was the wrist of the lot. Pace merchant but no brain.

Funds the nosh for the England game

 

[Converge]

Does Ozil actually like football? He doesn’t give the impression he’s all that bothered these days.

 

[melmac]

Well done Mexico!! Great game, one of the best so far in the World up. And it has been a really enjoyable World Cup so far.

 

[Purdy]

Not picking Sane is so dumb

 

[jonneymendoza]

werner to be top goalscorer

hi my name is ozil how may I assist you

You where saying?

 

[Mr Jack]

Really disappointing show from Germany. I see now why my coworkers are so negative about their chances. The familiar assured quality was entirely absent.

 

[Combat Fighter]

Get in there Sweden.

VAR at its best!

 

[Merlin5]

Yep, good penalty. 1-0 Sweden

 

[explicit4u]

VAR penalty correctly awarded and put away by Sweden

Can't see SK scoring unless Son comes up with something special.

 

[Fubsy]

Another good use of VAR in this game.

Imagine the old days of that being analysed after the game and Sweden being denied the opportunity to go ahead during the game. Pathetic it has taken so long.

 

[Lopéz]

Sweden go 1 up against Korea from a penalty following a VAR review. I LOVE VAR, it's transformed the game.

Football has got away with this "ooh it will stop the flow of the match" BS for far too long.

 

[Jokester]

Good use of VAR there, the standard camera angle over the centre line made it look like a decent tackle.

 

[Maundie]

My question would be though why didn't the linesman flag as it was clear the defender didn't touch the ball, I really hope we aren't going down the "I don't need to make a decision as VAR will pick it up" line.

 

[Combat Fighter]

Give them military boots a good polish later Son! Your gonna need ‘em. LOL

 

[Lopéz]

Sweden looking pretty ragged in this last ten minutes, Korea are throwing everything at them.

Linesmen were told to let play go in favour of the attacking team.
