FT: GERMANY 0 - 1 MEXICO: Match thread

[Rjk]

A few of their games on TV. They played twice in a week on Sky and the most passes I counted in a sequence was 5 over the two games.

Mexico can't have had many in any of their attacks in this game

[J R Hartley]

If he released it earlier he would have had 20 yards to run into. He was motoring

They’ve been guilty of holding on to the balll far too long in that position all game and it’s a shame because they are lightning on the counter

[Nick]

Cloneball. IMHO.

Difference being Mexico are up against a side much superior than them. Cardiff were playing mid-table sides when I saw them basically just hit the ball anywhere.

Thought that was in Mexicans living dangerously

Put this mexico side against a team getting players behind the ball and they probably look much less dangerous.

We'll soon find out I guess.

First shock of the tournament.

[Hilts]

Brilliant.

Still wouldnt suprise me to see the Germans go on an win this.

[MacAdder]

Thoroughly deserved win. Out in their feet in the end but after the first half performance, they could have been out of sight.

I still expect Germany to rally and go far but the tournament has just come to life for me.

BTW, Ozil was his usual self

[City123]

BBC going on as if Mexico are a bunch of part-timers...

Brilliant.

Germany looked knackered to me.
