Good call Elmdor. 3 countries 1 pt. That's kind of like an internet thing I vaguely recall.

There's a lot of Uruguay on the list. Poor lads.
What did Putin do now?
Also I find it silly that we have a quadrant of Conmebol teams in the knock out rounds. Assures 1 will make the semis. Bit of a double edged sword. Oranje and Messi both have pretty good paths.
I don't think Argentina are one of the 4 best teams though. Meh. Messi has been something though.
Probably won't beat Belgium but it should be a well fought game.
How did that biter only get 9 games? You do that out here, we'd be talking years, with the s.
Randomness is everywhere...
LIST OF SHAME
REFEREE FROM MEXICO NETHERLANDS GAME
You know. I doubted Herrera.
A loudmouth, annoying cunt that cannot accept defeat and improve. Heck, he showed it in the final against Leon, claiming a robbery from the refs against America. Then he was in the Mexico NT. What a fucking trainwreck that was gonna be.
And I doubted him because I adored him in Monterrey when he was the coach of Rayados de Monterrey, my hometown team, he put dedication, a winning mentality and a great display of football with awful defense, but that satisfied people left and right, except he wouldn't take the loss on himself and instead blame the players, which led to his downfall from Rayados.
And honestly? I adored him again. The mentality he injected in the NT, how you could actually see him being condfident of defeating the group rivals and Netherlands, he passed that mentality to the players.
We know the result, it all fell apart in the end, but Herrera wasn't there moving the players or marking Sneijder (boy, he would have destroyed the fuck out of Sneijder going "a dónde cabrón").
I wasn't supporrting Mexico because I thought it would be a horrendous WC like 2010 and everything after La Volpe, a group of meek, arrogant players with the green shirt, but he proved me wrong. And by God, I want him in Russia 2018.
Sure, many players will be gone, and there will be other competitions along the way, but he got the best of what there was to pick. This defeat hurts, and hopefully Herrera will learn from this. In short, from a complete detractor who was really expecting Mexico to crash and burn horribly, I was absolutely wrong in the end.
The problem is Mexico thought they had the game won and relaxed starting from about the 75th minute. Anyway that's freaking gut wrenching Fer. I feel for ya.
Sorry Fer :/ As Gyps said Mexico really went for it until they scored. Then they relied too much on Ochoa to defend the result. And doing that against teams with quality players like the dutchies it's almost suicidal :/ You can be proud of the good impression your guys left.
Anyway, it wasn't an easy match for Holland, the same way that it wasn't easy for Brazil yesterday... The contrary than Colombia, really good performance yesterday against Uruguay that had very little to say once they lost their mordant
HURRAY FOR TICOS! That Keylor Navas, oh my god, he's soooo good!!! I'm really hoping for big suprise against Oranje in quarter final.
For me that's Robben. He never disappoints.
Just hope the songs of the sirens telling that James could sign for Madrid don't distract the guy. Jorge Méndez is going to make some good money this summer (James, Costa, Falcao..)!
Voilà! France couldn't shine today but qualified thanks to the ref (Matuidi ), the mistakes the Nigerian defense made (not really the goalie, he made a few good saves despite his error in Pogba's goal) and the good decision Deschamps made letting Griezmann in. That really changed the sign of the match.
As I predicted, France isn't really missing that overrated player who is Ribéry...
