Brasil 2014

Mexico wins 0-0!!

I only saw the last half hour, but the Mexican keeper was unreal.

Without favorable officiating, Brazil look a bit vulnerable. But credit Ochoa – he had just a sensational performance.

That was an amazing game. I’m decompressing now. I am so proud of El Tri)))

But seriously, next time don’t shoot so high cabrones!!

Ochoa just got himself a lot of attention from clubs. I thought he should have started last Cup too.

There was a good stretch of 25 minutes or so when Mexico was really dominant. If they can find that again…

Brazil also went scoreless a couple of times in the most recent Copa America. It’s not that unusual.
Anyway, Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer on the BBC seemed to think that was a poor game, because there weren’t any goals. It’s like they expect it to be Pele and Zico every time Brazil play.

He tied with the most saves in tournament play at 6. Yeah baby, he was good.

Russia is playing Korea and I’m torn. I like the Russian team but Korea has always been a favorite since their 2002 run. Not a very exciting game but both sides are still feeling each other out.

I’m glad someone else is watching. Everyone here is asleep (in Saint Petersburg). Yeah, no easy points against Korea but if Russia wins, they’ll glide into the next round.

Son blows a good chance for Korea. Russia’s playing a bit better. I think the Russia Belgium game will be really interesting.

Absolutely! Going on what I’ve read, Belgium will be really good. Hopefully, in this tourney, not so good, as Fabio’s Russians seem content on getting a null-null tie out of this game.

You know a game must be pretty terrible when the main topic of conversation on the Guardian’s minute by minute coverageis the state of the referee’s hair.

To be fair, it is a hell of a slick combover.

Oh it is! Thanks for pointing that out!

Neither team is very impressive, I don’t think either of them is gliding anywhere

It’s the gulag for you, comrade goalkeeper.

Along comes a goalkeeping howler to brighten my day. 1-0 SK.

Oh man. I feel for him.

That’s the opposite of great goal keeping.

I like the Koreans. They must know Russia is looking to score on a counter or two, yet they keep attacking. Holy cow, they just scored!

Keeper could always go play in some neighboring country, like Ukraine. Oh wait…

So do I really, that’s going to haunt his dreams for a while.

And Rooooosia ties. What would make group H more challenging is if they had Malta or San Marino in it.
