Alot of the commentary has been awful during this world cup.
It's like they've got the one who usually do League 2 and not expecting too many people to be listening and so are spouting nonsense and making bad calls on decisions.

I'm thinking on the same wavelength as you.
It's as if Mexico are resting on that goal lead thinking that it'll be enough.
It won't be.
They should be playing as if they still need to score.
Because they do.
I think Holland will win this due to Mexico resting on that one goal lead and being complacent.
Either in play or by penalties.

Could you imagine a team that had both him and James Rodriguez?
Think the Mexicans will be most pleased with the timing of this cooling break.

Argentina don't really have any games in the hot and humid regions. The worst they have is the QF in Brasilia, other than that every game through the final is in the cool south east for Argentina. It's a hugely favourable draw in every way.

Bobby Charlton was seen sneaking off at half time to check if Van Gaal had signed the contract.
Made a bit of a mess with the eraser - now its Louis van Moyes.

I can see Monaco bidding for him.

True, that has got to be a major concern, no football match or tournament is worth the loss of life, the whole idea of giving Qatar the world cup in 2022 is a bit of a mystery to be honest.

I'd say suicidal rather than cunning.
The more Mexico allow Holland to play, the stronger and more confident Holland will get, and they have the strike force to deliver the goods.
I think it's really naive of Mexico to think that Holland won't score if they just play deep hoping that the defence will contain people like Robben. Especially in the last few minutes where Holland will presumably score.

They're planets apart, Manchester United fans are split on whether they even want Holland to win this.

Because the water break is not "official"
It was ruled by a court in brazil, so fifa have to comply

Completely agree; I seem to have watched Mexico do this in most world cups and they invariably end up being eliminated round about this stage.
