World Cup 2018 | 23rd June Matches | Next Match: Germany vs Sweden, KO 19:00 (BST)

[Claytop]

Nice counter attack. 2-0

 

[Akai]

great match this. 2-0 Mexico.

 

[SkyBlueTX]

Nobody will want to play Mexico in the knockouts. Very tough out this year.

 

[jimharri]

Hardly a thing of beauty, that goal. At least, the execution of it. He did well to check back inside though, to be fair.

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Pretty obvious foul on the dispossession there. But great counter.

 

[taconinja]

I think I might have just injured my hip jumping around after that goal. Getting old is the worst.

If Mexico could finish they’d be tournament favorites.

Beats the alternative though.

Yep. Don't think they've gotten enough credit for their defending after that Germany game, the onus was on other things. Still fancy Sweden to do a number on them though :)

 

[Akai]

These Korean players are dirty as fuck

 

[taconinja]

Beats the alternative though.

Definitely!

Interesting to see that, when a player gets treatment, referee lets them stay on the pitch rather than go to the touchline and wait to be waved on

Goalkeepers are exempt for obvious reasons.

Time for the Sanatogen multivitamins, Werther's Originals, Complan and a nice hot whiskey before bed.

last 2 heavy tackles against Mexico have had trainer on but outfield player remained on pitch after magic sponge

Mezcal is better chilled but I’ll take it under advisement. ;)

And what is that Korean player thinking with that elbow?

If the foul results in a yellow or red card the outfield player doesn't have to leave the pitch.

 

[tregyblue61]

Didn't know that but sensible rule.

 

[Akai]

good goal.

 

[Paladin]

Decent goal that.
