I expected to be rooting for the Orange in this game (especially since Mexico is our Concacaf arch-rival) but Mexico has won me over. I hope they can hang on. ---

As is so often the case, a team concedes a goal and just switches on. If Holland had been playing like this for the past hour they would have 3 goals or something. Suddenly it’s a fun game. ---

Admittedly, yea, the Dutch players are finally on. I wondered in the previous half if they were counting on a tie and winning by penalties or something like that. I’m sure they expected an easier game than this. ---
