Are these commentators even in Brazil? They're certainly not in the stadium. Poor show from ITV this World Cup.

Definitely. Croatia were so disappointing last game, perhaps they'll step it up a bit after half time, when they know the score of the other game

I don't see why any commentator needs to be in the stadium really. All they do is describe what happens on the pitch and if we can see that from thousands of miles away, so can they.

Not too far away from Pranjic.

Croatia just getting back into it.

Are Mexico playing 3 at the back or do their wingbacks just play really high up?

Well I've erm, defected to the other game and saw the equaliser, but I missed the 'Blonde Mexican girl'.

Croatia had an empty field there, only one defender, yet still they screw it up. This is exactly how they were last game.

Somebody take the shot!

Bit of hostility creeping in between these two sides now.

What a wonderful side they were. Asanovic, Jarni, Boban, Prosinecki, Stimac, Tudor... and so on. Top quality.

The Mexicans are definitely winning the prettiest supporters award. Has Robbie Earle (was it him?) sold his tickets again?

John Goodman is looking animated again whilst Joseph Gordon-Levitt is looking his usual unruffled self.

Croatia need a rollicking at half-time.

Disappointing first half largely because of Croatia - other than the early stages they've been so flat and lifeless and so reluctant to get forward in numbers you wouldn't have thought they needed the win.

Mexico aren't making great strides forward but they don't need to, all they need to do is contain Croatia and they're doing that really comfortably at the moment.

They just don't seem to know what to do when they get the ball. It's bizarre. Totally different from their first game.

Should be a more interesting half. Croatia will need to attack more which in turn may leave them vulnerable at the back from Mexico counter-attacks.

Or, it could just peter out at as a 0-0...

That Croatia player getting a quick lesson in how to play football before he goes on. Seems a tad last minute, but no matter

Should've been a penalty for Mexico there, clear deliberate handball.

Croatia hanging on a bit here.

Should have been a pen for sure. Though I love the Mexican coach going crazy when there's absolutely no way he could see anything from where he was standing.
