Are you Brazilian or a Japanese referee?

The second half's been better.

That's absurd. Most played in Europe in 2002 and they were the best team in the tournament. All their best players are in Europe. Why would they pick a second string team?
This 0-0 has been better than the Iran-Nigeria 0-0, many more incidents. Superb performance from Ochoa.

Their under 20s would have done better than this.

European football is the best that there is and has been for a long time.

Bad news for Croatia surely? They would have wanted Brazil to beat both the other teams to give them the best chance of 2nd place. Now even if Croatia beat Cameroon, Mexico will only need a draw to go through. Even a struggling Brazil should comfortably beat Cameroon.
Thoroughly deserved point for Mexico - largely due to Ochoa producing FOUR world class saves but also because of their superbly disciplined and committed defensive performance overall, which was exemplified by their captain Marquez.
Brazilians again totally unconvincing - at times it just seemed to be Neymar and ten anonymous others out there.

Fantastic performance by Mexico. Dangerous up front, creative in the middle, excellent at the back and the keeper played a blinder.
As for Brazil, I wouldn't fancy their chances against the likes of Germany or the Dutch. Lucky in the 1st game and at times lucky tonight.
