With the possibility of riots if Brazil go out that might happen. Teams may consider it dangerous.

But its more fun if they just get a good hammering in the 2nd Round or QTR finals.

Perhaps if the caption was removed then people wouldn't be confused.
I agree that they showed it because a) it showed how close it was b) they can

Great save from Ochoa again!

Mex keeper's having a good game.

This keeper for Mexico is quite decent.

Second amazing save but how did they not score?

Well done Ochoa again. Good 'keeping.

If that save was made by Neuer, the commentators would be going nuts right now.

I'm sure the sponsors and therefore the organisers love it, because, selling the brand and those associated with the brand is more important than the sport itself.

Don't fret, the ref will give them a couple of dubious decisions in the second half of this game to give them the points.

Nice to see we've had a decent goalkeeping performance for once at this WC.

Ochoa living up to his Football Manager reputation.

Ramires is a dirty player, will probably need to be taken off during the second half so he doesn't get sent off.

Let's be honest though, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are far bigger global stars than some vacant Middleton sibling.

I honestly think that the points are there for Mexico's taking.

Sepp Blatter is poised next to his cell phone as we speak. Expect the call to come through to the Ref's restroom at half-time.

They are going nuts on the radio in fairness.

Mexico finished 4th in Concacaf (behind the US, Costa Rica, and Honduras, in that order). Then fortunately only had to knock out minnows NZ in a playoff. So a draw here would be a massive result for Mexico and a bad sign moving forward for home favourites Brasil.

I haven't seen the best team in the competition this evening.

But they will still be "Samba Brazil - the best team in the world" before the start of the next televised game

Another fairly dull half there.

It's almost as if the drabness of Iran v Nigeria was so pronounced it's subliminally filtered through to every team which has subsequently played and killed the open, flowing football we'd seen up to that point stone dead.

Not seen Alan Hansen doing any punditry in this world cup. Thought he was over there too.

Not to those who only watch one or two tennis tournaments per year. And some of the corporate guests probably couldn't tell them apart.
