I lost the list.
Not a fan of Mexico but they don't really play pussy football. In their group, the pussy football team was actually Croatia, had to beat Mexico and they defender the game lol.

Wasting your time trying to explain.

This has been the most exciting WC I've had. I think this is the best Mexico I've seen outside the Olympics and the Confederations Cups. A shame their nerves got the better of them during the second half.

Would have loved for Mexico to go through. Holland were the better team and deserved it. If the pro-European refs didn't keep bending the rules to allow their beloved Orangie to recover. Holland would have colt collapsed on the pitch and died :o

I'd like to see CL games paused so that African and South American players get time to warm up pls

what about the not given pen in first half ET?

btw it's 35 degree celcius and 90% humidity, you wanna let 22 men die cause u like south american teams brah?

Memphis another positive impact :proud:

Heartbreaking loss for Mexico, Robben and Sneijder experience played out big time.

What's with this "deserve" garbage?

The Dutch were outplayed for most of the game by a team with a ton less talent.

They won on a dive (yes Mexico just have been more disciplined, but that was a comically acted dive)

This team isnt going anywhere, and it is too bad they werent put out of their eventual misery a bit earlier

James Rodriguez might say otherwise but Robben has been easily in the top 3.

Memphis another positive impact :proud:

He was by far the least impactful Dutch player in the second half :lol:

Lost the ball pretty much every time and sent his 'shot' all the way back to Eindhoven :lol:

Are you stoned?

Ehh muller? Rodriguez?... Pirlo :proud:

Muller rodriguez better than robben?
I mean i would say they are top 3-5. But better than robben? nope.

Muller is in a team that was expected to take 9 points. Robben in the one expected to go out of the first round. Muller is a great player in the team.. Robben is The team :o

Columbia haven't even played a proper team yet. Uruguay without suarez doesn't count.

If he was stoned he wouldn't have made such a silly analysis.

I guess you just saw the first half, and even that you re still wrong.

Holland should ve had another penalty in the first half anyway

I'm disappointed that Chile and Mexico didnt make it through. The grit both teams showed was extremely enjoyable to watch.

Maquez was stupid for that challenge. There was contact with Robben you can't deny it

Chile and mexico are the exact opposite of each other.

Chile was brilliant and should have gone thru, they could beat anyone.. mexico was terrible. Score one goal expect Ochoa to perform 10 miracle saves a match

I watched the whole game.

The first half one should have been a penalty, but it wasnt called, so there is that.

Despite being far more talented the Dutch didnt show much desire to win until the very end. The less talented team came out and played like their hair was on fire and worked their asses off.

The Mexicans took it to the Dutch, and that was impressive. They did not show composure at the end, and that cost them, but in no way did the Dutch "deserve" anything

What? I wanted the dutch to go through, fuck are you on about.

I'm fucking with you, relax :lol:

But really tho, before Depay came Sneijder and Robben had to drop deep a lot to come and get the ball, while Depay offered another outlet for BMI/Blind to play to and held the ball well, delivered some nice crosses with his left foot, cut inside and play to centrally positioned Sneijder etc

Offensive line was way higher with Depay
