    did think they had run out of time, dodgy pen aside they probably deserve to go through, as if they didn't mexico keeper would prob have been man of match, some of his saves were class.

    Schneiders goal was good.

    Harsh on the Mexicans to not even get ET but fair play to Holland, they could win this

    I don't think so, but if they can win in conditions like today, then there's nothing to stop them in terms of the climate.

    No. Spain were the first European team to win a World Cup not in Europe.

    It was noticeable that VG resorted to the Moyes method of 'lump it in the box ' football.
    Very much a one man team. Although he didn't score Robben kept them going and always looked a threat.
    Can't see them winning it but they have the easier half of the draw I think.

    Because they are very defensive?
     
    #2416
  17. Yep. Costa Rica will defend but still try and attack too. Greece would sit in and hoep to nick one

    So? I'd rather watch 2 teams go at each other than Holland v Greece defence for 89 minutes with them hoping to nick a goal.

    I'd also rather watch the great teamwork of Chile and Mexico but instead will have to see the awful Brazil and Netherlands fluke and dive their way to the quarters/semis :(

    Greek manager's contract expires tomorrow. Obviously weren't expecting them to get any further than this game then <laugh>
