Group A: BRAZIL, CROATIA, MEXICO, CAMEROON

[Curupira]

oh hey, another Guardado in the crowd

[Tadej]

Croatia are one ugly and pathetic team.

 

[Casualista]

Wow mexico. Simply superb tactically. Amazing organization this match.

And they deserved to finish this group on top considering their goals disallowed and dubious brazilian goals. It would be a pity if they go out to netherlands.

Rafael marquez 35 years old and still a complete boss in defense.

[Redman10]

Miguel Herrara best coach in this tournament.

 

[profpk]

Mexico played very well in this tournament.. they could give the dutch a tough time

 

[Mario]

Di Maria look a like that plays for Porto is a godly b2b...

Also, Mexico's coach is such a likable character

 

[Polotelli]

Miguel Herrara best coach in this tournament.

and he earns the least

so unfair!

 

[Casualista]

not easy when you got 11 players against you most of the game

Nah he was quite bad in his movement today. Couldnt makespace during open play or set pieces. Yeah the supply was low from rakitic and modric because mexico shut all their options out superbly well, but he was very lack luster up front as well.

what happened to mandzukic

Overrated Balkan fodder. Can't believe I actually rated Croatia and Bosnia. Fodder national teams.

He coached Club America...dont feel bad for him. He earned A LOT of money.

He is a good player, but struggles without service.. that is why he would probably struggle if he comes to milan as well since our midfield isnt the best at providing assists

Anyways, Kovac sexiest coach this WC?
Real James Bond

Yes they were overrated. Bosnia is in their first tournament and has 3-4 really good players. Croatia has several really good players too. What people forget to add (and I did this with Bosnia) is a) one was a WC virgin b) the other one struggled in the qualifiers c) they're playing outside Europe (which isnt a factor with bigger NTs, but with this ones it plays a role because they're not that good, home support, weather, longer travelling).

I would have given them better chances at home turf (Europe). So yeh overrated but not fodder.

I exaggerated when calling them fodder but yeah, overrated. Especially Bosnia, which is in one of the weakest groups.

Was anyone else amazed by how good Niko Kovac looked today? So alpha, so handsome

 

[Congo Powers]

Read them too

I know Mexico has only made it once to the quarter finals, but they pass the group stages just about always. Don't know why they were rated so low in this thread.

Couldn't be bothered with uploading the video.

not easy when you got 11 players against you most of the game

Oh so only Mandzukic had to play against 11 opposition players, in the majority of the game? No other player, let alone team, has ever had to play against 11 opposition players, in the history of football?

[ladro]
