Day 19: Brazil vs Mexico and Belgium vs Japan

Mexico looking great, hope they can keep it up.
 
Lozano on the right side is an enticing prospect.
Seen him the whole season for PSV. He's talented, but not United level yet honestly. Prone to losing his head, both playstyle wise and punching people in the face wise.
 
They said that if they win today the whole squad will dye their hair blonde. Dunno how to feel about that.

Obviously I hope they win
 
Yeah I feel like it's a great world cup so far, probably my favourite since 06 anyway, but when you look at the gigantic battles in the run in in 06 compared with what we could get here if all the big guns keep going out.. it's not pretty.

That said I'd also love a more obscure winner like Colombia or Croatia, it'd be really great, but I still want to see the big players in the latter stages.

Indeed. We could potentially have a Brazil v France semifinal which would be huge but Belgium v France could also be great. On the other side of the ladder we don’t really have any potential for massive ties anymore. England v Croatia would be the biggest possible one, probably the hosts against England more so.

If we sign him, he will be pretty much another Martial -- inconsistent with potential. At the moment, we need proven quality on the right -- and no, Willian isn't that either.
 
Mexico really annoying in front of goal. Take too long to shoot every time and it just gets blocked.
 
Brazil's fullbacks looking seriously vulnerable.

Lozano is great on that right hand side - looks equally comfortable cutting inside or going down the line. Long afternoon ahead for Felipe.
 
Mexico having almost as much space to counter here as they did vs Germany. Brazil not looking secure at all. Also going forward they're hurting because Neymar is struggling too.
 
Mexicans are on speed or something
Brazilians can't handle them
Real chance of a shock here
 
Brazil have been lazing about. They'll put a hurting on Mexico when they finally come to life
 
Damnit I want to watch this match and I have a fecking meeting at 17:00. Shoot me.
 
Seriously, why hasn't Ochoa moved to a decent sized club? Much better than the likes of Ospina, Mignolet or Karius who are stealing a living.
 
Yesterday was my day off. Finally got to watch the World Cup ( 2 dreadful matches) another cracker today. I have some shit luck.
