Day 19: Brazil vs Mexico and Belgium vs Japan

Says more about their finishing than about their gameplan. Vela and Lozano both had multiple opportunities to test the keeper in the first 20 minutes. A complete lack of composure in the final third has drastically reduced their chances at getting anything out of this game.
Agreed.

And here’s another bad decision in the final third.
 
Well, did his job after all.

Mexico are crap in the final third, they weren't going to resist pressure for the full match.
 
I've never seen dumber attackers than this Mexican lot, just abysmal decision making. Totally unprofessional.

Mexico is brainless in attack. So many 4 on 3s or 3 on 2s and they always shoot from range instead of playing Lozano in. So selfish
 
What is with these stupid Mexican players shooting from long range when there are players available to take the pass
 
I see Brazil have that shite Roma keeper.
 
That was all Willian. Well done.

How so? Neymar drew plenty of Attention to himself before passing it back to Willian and then also made a good run into the box to tap it in. Neymar played just as much of a role in it.

That's Mexico in a nutshell in every world cup I've seen them in. Even that Germany game they were incredibly wasteful.

Drawing people towards you because you're Neighmar is great, but it was Willian's acceleration to get by the last defender that made it.

And Willian had the opportunity to make that run because Neymar freed up space. If there is no space, you can't accelerate. If Neymar doesn't make that run, there's nobody on the end of that finish.
 
Willian is one of the best squires in the world.
 
Jesus is having a shite world cup, Firmino makes a lot more sense in this set up for brazil.
 
You just know that pony's gonna cry, I just want it to be tears of sorrow.
 
Lozano is a good talent, but don't understand why some United fans want him, last thing we need is another inconsistent LW if you asked me.
