This is the first game in the second set of matches. Brazil and Mexico have played each other many times. I wonder if Mexico can keep up.

I saw a comment the other day about Diego Maradona crying during the national anthem. The writer said he was "probably high."

I want the American players to belt it out and curl up into a ball of tears when it's over.

Full extension to stop a header on the goal line. A thing of beauty.

I suspect this referee knows something we don't know. He's been trying to keep the cards in his pocket.

Ochoa gets a point for Mexico. Excellent quality on both sides. I thought Mexico would try to just hang on for the point but they went for it, which is why they got the point imo.

Memo Ochoa made at least 3 highlight reel saves.

Brazil will not be happy with the refereeing. He was very laid back and that is to Brazil's disadvantage.

Croatia will be happy. They win tomorrow and beat Mexico and they advance. For Brazil, they are still in an excellent position. Win and they advance. Tie and they probably advance.
