Day 14: Mexico vs Sweden, South Korea vs Germany, Serbia vs Brazil, Switzerland vs Costa Rica

Amazing... what an afternoon of football.

Duel football screens is a necessary thing in this day and age.
 
At least we'll hopefully get to see this group coached by someone else now. Thanks for 2014 Löw, but it's been long enough.

Sadly I can already see DfB trying to hold on to him, but it's a matter of time now until he's gone. Hopefully the last tournament for Özil, Müller and Gomez too.
 
Just saw Germany out! Wow

What a world cup
 
Sane is better than any of the attacking players Low used. Such a stupid desicion.

Muller is a shadow of the player he was. Werner isn't ready yet. Reus is overrated and played only 10 games last season. Draxler had a shit season, etc.

I've been impressed with him in all 3 games but, like you say, it's only a small sample. I wonder if any clubs will be looking at him after this tournament. Some of his saves have been brilliant!

Apparently has dreams of EPL move. Plays in K league, very cheap.

Sweeper keepers are stupid. The difference in technique is glaring whenever they try to play like an outfield player. Neuer looked like an idiot trying to dribble the ball there.

I was just thinking to myself what he was doing going beyond the defenders. Surely it would have been better to push a defender up instead and him playing as the last centre back. Cnut thought he was a better footballer than he actually is.
 
Good Jesus that was incredible. Didnt think it would actually happen and even then the first goal being ruled out before VAR.

Love the second goal.

This is why the World Cup is awesome.
 
Sweden group winners with 5-2 GD... Lmao.

Nice job Germany.
 
For feck ? Just seen the results ? Someone tell me they're not real ? :eek:

One year ago they were laughing that they won the Confederations Cup with their B team... congrats.

Yup and arrogantly dismissing other teams, they got what they deserved.
 
I bet Leroy Sane is glad he wasn't part of this shower of absolute shite, after winning YPOTY. His value just went up and he didn't even have to do anything.

Interesting.

France is the one I always think of - unless I'm remembering badly, they were such heavy favourites to retain with Henry coming into his prime etc.

Spain and Italy I think weren't quite as shocking (the latter more so).

There have been a fair a lot of hate on here towards us, albeit mostly from our Scandinavian neighbors.

I can understand the scadinavian rivalry insults, but I think the swedes have a very positive image worldwide.
 
Great credit to South Korea. They played very honest, could've lied down.

Although I am not watching today's match but based on what I have seen in the past, this Sweden team is really boring to watch. I saw them during their qualifying campaign when they visited Amsterdam. The team showed zero ambition even though it was next to impossible for The Netherlands to progress. They were poor against Germany. As a neutral, I'd rather watch Germany in the next round but it is not going to happen.

Most of the teams have been boring this WC, tbh.
