Croatia vs Mexico - 9pm (ITV4)

Nuri Sahin

Win or go home for Croatia. Draw at worst for Mexico and they're through.

Surely I am not the only one who thinks it is ridiculous that this is not being shown in UTV or RTE (at least as per TV listings)? Brazil Cameroon is set to be a half paced walk through victory for Brazil given how badly it has all fallen apart of the Africans.

Meanwhile, Mexico have completely turned their form around and have been one of the more exciting teams so far, while Croatia are solid as usual with a few star players. Mexico got a draw from the hosts, while Croatia played well enough to deserve one also if not for some iffy ref calls.

Two very different styles, two quite equally matched teams, Croatia needing a win to progress, Mexico just a draw (though the completely unexpected in the Brazil match could give them a chance to go top).

And they neither RTE or UTV appear to be showing it? :rolleyes:

Really looking forward to this one. It fails me why RTE are showing Brazil-Cameroon.

partyatmygaff

It'll be on RTE player like the earlier match. Makes no diff if you normally watch it on RTE Player anyway!

egghead.

If it does a nil all draw what happens?

This is live on RTE player for anyone who can't get ITV 4.

Streamed the Spain game earlier on RTE, was grand, no problems. Will do so for Mex-Cro game and watch Brazil on the box

thelad95

What's even worse is RTÉ will probably show England-Costa Rica over Italy-Uruguay

Dirty Dingus McGee

I was really looking forward to Croatia v Mexico what the hell are RTE at. Do they not realise that a large amount of people in this country have ITV1 and they really shouldn't be doubling up matches with them, the Brazil match isn't as important anyway as they are more than likely going to qualify, they choose a virtual dead rubber against a knockout game.

No I think they are showing the Italy match, it's on the rte website somewhere what games they are showing.

NomadicGray

Looks like im stuck with some ****ty ITV4 SD while RTE waste their glorious HD on Brazil.
Cant even stick it on the rte player due to this terrible Sky internet

Woe is me

pickarooney

Stupid French TV are showing the Brazil match as well. Probably because 80% of French people support Brazil. I guess it's back to grainy streams with disinterested middle aged Portuguese men calling the plays.

vidor

Not working for me on the player.

GreNoLi

Nice, Kerr be back.

Benimar

Peter Collins doing the Brazil game, Brian Kerr on the Croatia game. An easy decision just became easier, off to the RTE Player with me.

How do I choose what game to watch on RTE player? It's only showing Brazil for me

Benimar

Scroll down, there should be a link under the Brazil game.

On the RTE home page there should be a link to the Croatia vs Mexico match

frisbeeface

Ooooof!

What a strike!

Nuri Sahin

That would have been a hell of a goal.

Nuri Sahin

What a chance.

grohlisagod

Herrera looks an excellent player.

Frankie Lee

Hotties thread needs updating.

Croatia match not available on rte player for samsung tv. They have brazil v Cameroon up!!! Joke

ScummyMan

Disappointed in Mexico so far, thought they would have more of a go.

Zico

If this is a draw and Brazil lose, do these two go through?

Don't do it, it's dire.

But if you do want to torture yourself, check out rte.ie/sport

The attacking team should have someone mark the goalkeeper with their hands up high in front of the goalkeeper when there is a corner.

pickarooney

Rafael Marquez is slowly turning into Phil Dunphy from Modern Family.

And that's the most interesting thing I can find to say about this half of football.

In terms of scoring - Mexico. But its hard work as the team in Green only need a draw and are set up for that, they attack Croatia on the flanks when they push up but Croatia are not a well sorted side in this game. The midfield is not working at all.

However it is getting a bit feisty - and I'd not be surprised if someone got sent off.

Nuri Sahin

Don't get why Kovacic doesn't start behind Rakitic and Modric.

Freesat, free-to-air satellite, or Other Channels on Sky.

eagle eye

Just switched over to this game. Really think Croatia are underrated and I'm hoping they make it through. They were very unlucky in the Euros to run into Spain and Italy in the group stages. I think they are capable of beating any side on their day.

Hotblack Desiato

Yeah, hoping HR make it through... (I would even if I didn't have them as my team in the Boards MUFC thread sweep!)

thelad95

I'd love to see Mexico go through but I have a horrible feeling Croatia will sneak it, I won't feel confident unless Mexico can get a goal.

vidor

One of the worst games yet.
