[Mueez]

Serbia playing some attacking football!

 

[Azzurri]

Tuned in to watch milkovic-savic. He's been hyped to death this season

 

[Mueez]

Imo, Navas is one of the best goalkeepers atm alongside Manuel Neuer.

 

[DeadBall]

Costa Rica v Serbia 0-0 at half time. Some good chances though.

 

[Mueez]

What a goal!

[DeadBall]

This German side seems quite poor and unmotivated. Predicting a 2-0/3-1 or 2-1 victory for Mexico if they don't let up.

 

[kaayal]

Mexico playing the total football here. They have never allowed the germans to get into their rhythm.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Man I am so impressed with Mexico. I am one of those believers who thinks that Germany won't make it out of there group stage.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Well done Mexico. Well played.

 

[Mueez]

What a sensational win by the Mexicans!
Still remember they could have knocked out the Dutch football team 4 years ago, had Robben not made a 'schwalbe'.

 

[Mr.Q]

What really happened out there?! This is embarrassing.

[kaayal]

Mexico could have scored 2 or 3 more goals with the chances they got. They should work more on it.

[Hasan123]

Disappointing stuff from Germany . They need to make some changes. Gundogan or Gorezka should from Khedira in the next game. Also would like to see Reus start.

 

[DHONI183]

A big, big setback today to our campaign. My eldest niece is heartbroken.

But the fact is, they played really well after conceding the goal, especially in the second half. I'm ready to pardon this defeat based on the effort that they put in later on. But it's a must not to lose hope and to build on the momentum. It happens, although the gravity of it given the stage cannot be denied. Should've won it.

[Musakhel]

Brazil looking really good.

 

[Kroll]

Cracking goal from Coutinho, seen some real stunners already after only a few days into the tournament.

 

[Hasan123]

Brazil seem to be lacking a creative cm from deep to play with Casemiro. But they still look like the team to beat.

 

[Kroll]

1-1 now, that was unexpected.

 

[TeymurBlake]

I said this before the game began that Brazil look suspect in defence. Marcelo does well going forward but defensively is okay, as for Danilo he probably didn't play as much as he would have wanted to last season and the CB's are ageing. Total lack of communication for the defence for that equaliser.
