    That's my favourite!

    Italian, German, Spanish! Top class!

    Honourable mention to The French. Think I posted all 4 up earlier in this thread!

    The Croatian manager might want to tone down his anger a bit, comments like "You may as well hand Brazil the World Cup now", could land him in hot water with FIFA. The last thing they need is a rigging scandal. :pac:

    That Fabio Cannavarro is too damn smooth. He's talking utter bollocks but the way he say's it, it sounds like hes giving Johnny Giles a run for his money.

    Can he pronounce / even remember most of the players names? Thats Giles standard punditry…….

    Still though, I love Johnny Giles, He's a national treasure and if you put a shawl on him he wouldn't look out of place selling fruit on Moore St!

    Should be handy for Mexico you'd imagine but who knows.

    I'd love for Mexico to do well in the tournament, it would be nice for them to have some positive publicity for once.

    well given that Giles talks some amount of useless bollocks that is saying something. Nice guy and a great player in his time, but the game has passed him by quite some time ago, and badly at that.

    That was a let off.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,052 ✭✭✭Un Croissant


    Well that's bollix. :/ i have a 2-1 prediction but that looks optimistic for CMR.

    Another bad decision from officials.

    Already Mexico look a lot hungrier than Brazil or Croatia did last night. Should be ahead, horrible decision.

    Shocking decision. That volley was a nice finish.

    Mexico to win by 2.

    Cameroon could sneak this if they get something from a free or corner, they can out muscle the Mexican defence no bother.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,052 ✭✭✭Un Croissant


    Mexico threw that away.

    Very hard to argue against match fixing here. 2 blatant mistakes, they weren't even close.

    What does a mexican have to do to score in this world cup?

    I think its just shoddy decisions (well the first one anyway - the second might have looked different from his angle even though it was a definite goal too)

    would they serious try and engineer a draw to suit brazil?

    The rain must be pitter-pattering into the linesmans eyes. Poor fella seems to be throwing that flag up willy nilly.

    "Oh hang on, the flag's up" :p well done, Mehico.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,622 ✭✭✭Ruu


    Finally, Mexico 1-0 Cameroon. No one marking him at all.
