Both are better going forward than keeping it tight, so hopefully will be a decent game.
One to watch is Hirving Lozano on the wing for Mexico, has a brilliant season for PSV and could bag himself a nice to a bigger league
Edit- shearer has just said pretty much the same thing, so I take it back.
Brilliant game so far. Mexico don't fear Germany at all
Well deserved cracking goal
Shirley Reus on for draxlerand goretzka on for kedeira
Mexico are murdering the Germans in the counter.
Velas ball carrying has been superb but made a few wrong decisions otherwise it could be 2 or 3
They've had great opportunities but final ball has been very poorQuote:

It seems to me that Mexico are playing in a similar way to City under Warnock, that is win the ball and get it forward as quickly and directly as they can.
Now Mexico are getting the plaudits by the pundits whilst City get slaughtered for our style.
I can’t work that out.
Like us on a good day, against a side who aren't being as naive/arrogant as the Germans are we aren't always as fun to watchQuote:

Brave effort but Mexico are spent. If you offered them 1-1 now I bet they'd take it.
The styles are not as similar as you think. Mexico, for example, have strung a series of passes together that extends beyond 4.Quote:

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.Quote:

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

Still wouldnt suprise me to see the Germans go on an win this.
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 :angry:
BBC going on as if Mexico are a bunch of part-timers...
Germany looked knackered to me.Quote:
