This could be a very exciting game. Croatia need to win in order to progress and Mexico need the 3 points and to hope that Cameroon can defeat Brazil.
Last week, Croatia won their first world cup game for 12 years.
Enjoy the match!

Yup, Brazil should easily beat Cameroon, think Mexico will edge this and take runners up spot

Yeah, quite why ITV had opted for an almost dead-rubber between the dullest Brazil team in decades and the worst team at the tournament to be their "main" match I'm not sure. I'm really looking forward to this one, think it may be the most exciting of the final group games.

Yup.
Higher stakes therefore higher drama.

....and Mexico have Spiderman in goal.

Phew! It's gonna be a scorcher.

It's purely to draw in the casual fans who only watch football when big teams like Brazil are playing.

Clearly if you're actually properly following this World Cup you'll want to watch this match because it's the one with something riding on it.

Have a feeling Mexico will shade this tonight - particularly if Ochoa is half as inspired in goal as he was against Brazil.

I can see the thinking behind simultaneous group matches but I still don't like them.

Ok, this is going to be hard work. I'll be watching this on ITV4 online, and the Brazil game on my TV at the same time

Mine too. I don't think Brazil will have any trouble with Cameroon, but Croatia need to go all out here.

Yep, this one is on the main TV, the other is on the laptop.

Looking forward to this.

Will be very interesting to see the viewing figures for both games .

Only 7 minutes played but you can already tell Croatia are the team that need the win.

I'm a screen junkie. If you've got them, you might as well use them. ...did I mention the Brazil Now app running in the background on my Xbox One?

Some good defending from Mexico. Croatia stepping up a gear.

Excited for this game, struggling to stay awake though.

This match has potential to be a classic, an early goal would go down a treat.

What an effort from Herrera!

Mexico nearly in front against the run of play there.

Hit the angle! There's a collector's item.

Great effort off the crossbar! Mexico so close to the lead.

Quite like Mexico but I do think Croatia will offer more in the next round.

Both I suspect will be defeated by the Netherlands
