I have enjoyed all the matches so far , Spain vs Renaldo lived up to expectations, great World cup so far , I do hope Salah gets a chance to play and would love to see Argentina vs Portugal or Brazil along the way...

BTW , Feel free to say Football Mike , its WC , the world gets it :)
 
Commentators on Fox Sports are atrocious! [emoji19][emoji34]

Kind of ruining it for me...
 
Impressive performance from Mexico today. Germany might as well have mailed in the first half, and in general did not look like the German team one would expect in the World Cup, but IMO that doesn't take anything away from Mexico, who looked much more patient and confident than most Mexico teams of the past 20 years.
 
Liked the Mexicans too, very agile. A deserved win IMHO. Die Mannschaft looked like if every move would have been painful.

I really hope the Swiss are not allowed to continue to foul without the threat of a yellow card in games going forward.

It didn't help when the Brazilian's flopped around like a fish out of water every time someone touched them. Neymar was a disgrace. Willian too.
 
Yellow cards are not supposed to reflect the frequency of fouls, but (like red cards) the type of foul. I only saw about half the Brazil/Suisse game but didn’t see much I would call yellow card fouls. JMO of course.

Naymar was fouled 10 times but at least 4-5 more could have been called.
 
Neymar cried /yelled every time he was fouled like his leg was snapped in half. That's why very few got called. It's bad for the game imho.

I hate diving, believe me, especially when it comes with an Oscar-winning performance. But the ref allowed the Swiss to constantly beat up Naymar, which I find just as distateful.
