They were poor going forward. Dumb dumb decision making for 90 minutes. They have only themselves to blame.
Where was Mexico of the flame against Germany?!!!
Day 19: Brazil vs Mexico and Belgium vs Japan

Marquinhos looks way older than 23 or whatever he is. William Carvalho must be his style icon.
Just occurred to me. But for all the plaudits City got last year, and rightly so, there's still a fair few of their team deemed not good enough for an XI at the World Cup.
Ederson, Fernandinho, Sane.

Yep. Can't half move on crutches.
Get fecked Mexico. That's what you get for not paying for the border wall.

Aaaaaaaaargh!!!!
Why so much hate for Brazil? Very effective team. Neymar might cry a lot, but he is tackled a lot, and the rest of the team are quite likeable.
Neymar down again.
I'd honestly give this Ref the final if he books him in next four minutes.

Lukaku will do em
Ref is an arse too. Mexico could not buy a foul, yet he calls slight breeze as a foul on Brazil.
In a word, Neymar.
Another Neymar dive. Another wasted Mexico shot. Sums up the game honestly
Mexico was the same vs Germany, with better decision they win that game 3 or 4 nil easy
Neymar should be booked for that.
Yes, I feel brazil are being hated just because of neymar. Brazil have done well, maybe not the most classic Brazilian side but they are doing what other so called big teams are not doing that is scoring. I would take this brazil over the crap Spain or Germany have given us this wc.
7th time in a row they go out in the last 16.
7th world cup in a row getting eliminated at this stage.
Wish the commentator would stop calling Mexico a central american side.
Is that true? Wow.
Agreed; I haven’t seen Jesus do enough to justify keeping him in the side over Firmino.
Brazil 2018 looking a lot like Brazil 2002. There's flair in forward areas, it surfaces every now and again, but the real strength of this side is its ability to absorb pressure, play compactly and break at pace. You can see them going on to win this tournament. There's enough goals in this side and enough of a backbone to see it through.
Ochoa looks like he should be in a Telemundo soap opera instead of in goal.
Didn't you say the same about Neymar? I hope you 'look' your age! Ageism.
Think it's more people constantly trotting out the tired old just like watching Brazil lines without properly watching them play. Another WC where they've been more funcual than fantasy.
Dosen't mean they're still not a bleeding good team and arguably the favourite to win but I've been disappointed by their general style at this world cup considering how they've played last 18 months.
Coutinho being in great form has helped them out a lot otherwise they could've easily had 1 point from their first two games like Argentina.
Why?
He looks like he should be in the Mexican version of How I Met Your Mother
I hope they get Lukaku'd
And they are not conceding much .Even if their defending is a bit unorthodox at times.
Was about to say that. Surprisingly brazil are defending very well.
It wouldn’t hurt
Football - take and deliver collisions and get up and do it again
Baseball - take a 95mph fastball to the hip and walk to 1st base
Basketball - take a fall to the hardwood and get back up and play
To be fair, I watch Football and Basketball and there's enough flopping in every sport.
Brazil are too savvy and clever for this youthful and naive Mexico team. They know exactly how to push the boundaries with the refs and usually get it their way. Their defence has also yet to be tested against a proper attacking force so that's why a potential Belgium match will be much more representative. Let's see what happens.
Because we're not a central American team...Why?
Brazil vs Belgium/Japan. I pray Belgium beat them(providing they go through) but I can’t see it happening.
Well done you cheating cnuts, I hope you get spunked in the next round
Without Casemiro against Belgium, I guess that is the end of road for Brazil
