Sorry for starting early but looking forwards to this game could be a classic.

 

[banjo]

Brazil 1/3 draw 4/1 Mexico 8/1.

Brazil 1/3 draw 4/1 Mexico 8/1.

The Brazil odds are a bit short. Otherwise I might put a bet on them.

This should be a cracker.

They shouldn't play their second game before everyone has played their first, seems slightly unfair.

 

[The Fifth Column]

Neymar looks like he should be in a gay porno, what a ponce. Come on mexico, piss on the tiresome samba party.

Some good tackles already

 

[Stumpy Tim]

This ref already looks like another homer. Brazil getting everything, Mexico getting nothing

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Tasty game so far.

I must admit I find this odd too. Not sure it's unfair as such as different group to Russia/South Korea, but not quite right nonetheless.

Looking like it could be a rather decent game - certainly miles ahead of Iran vs. Nigeria last night.

It does. Initially I thought it might be to do with TV times in Brazil but I would have thought the later kick off at 7pm local would have been more beneficial so not sure what the reason is.

should have been yellow for Alves there.

 

[Meade's Ball]

I see Dani Alves has given himself the hair of an extraordinarily old man.

I heard a report the other day that their domestic games are getting lower and lower attendances, because TV companies are scheduling kick off times later and later to accommodate soap operas!

Maybe that's it then

 

[TomandJerry]

We need more ref's like this one

What gave it away?

 

[The Wizard]

Great save that

 

[The Wizard]

Mexico the better side for me, Brazil extremely disappointing again.
