If we win, we will open a bottle of tequila.
If we loose, we will open a bottle of tequila.

How was that not a booking or red card?

Pretty fair result, Mexico looked incredibly overwhelmed.

Ochoa was a stud this game, can't save them all. Brazil had something like 10 or 11 shots on goal. That would have been way worse without him.

LoL at Neymar and his ridiculous rolling around on the sideline. Look forward to the memes and gifs people will create just like the last game. He's absurd.

[Runnin' Rebel]

Great technical skills today by BRASIL, not very exciting though, unlike a lot of the recent previous games

Thanks Jr..For taking one for the team

Very tense first half, Neymar showed what he's made of in this game. Directly responsible for both goals and didn't feel the pressure.

Seriously, that guy intentionally stepped on his injured ankle on the sideline, can't believe that wasn't a red and some people still say he was acting.

Great game, Mexican brothers!

Forward, Brazil!!

[Wesley Crusher]

Welp, Mexico still has a long way to go.

Congrats to Brazil. They played a great game. World class team. I just can’t stand Neymar lol.

My sentiments as well ...

[Runnin' Rebel]

He's got great feet though, a surgeon..

[FTX I]

That was great. Congrats to both teams.

[Scapegoat]

Mexico just went flat after the 1st 15min...

Brazil were really good, except for all the dark arts and play acting.

Casemiro, Paulinho and Coutinho are the unsung heros.

Somehow, the predictable result makes it less exciting to watch

Totally right, this guy never exaggerates or play acts

How you guys ever defend this guy is beyond me. Practically every non-brazillian fan on the planet can see that was an incredibly light step on his ankle, perhaps intentional, yes, and probably deserved a yellow. but a red and to say that his reaction is in any way called for? Twitter has already completely been lighting him up again, it's hilarious

So the fact that he exaggerates validates this kind of aggression by his opponents?

We defend him because despite the exaggerations - and we don't deny those - he is one of the most talented players in the world, the star of a squad that holds 5 world titles and the representation of the raw skill that has always been the essence of our style of play.

I was tied up at work, couldn't see the game. Just saw the two goals on Telemundo. Very well executed plays, specially the first one.

Sorry, G. this game would be a better representative of Mexico talent if it were a semi-final game.

Exactly. If some here don't like the guy there's nothing we can do about it. I'm glad he's helping our team.

It's fine, we can simply agree to disagree in regards to him and that call.

He may be helping you win games, but he's seriously doing your squad a disservice in getting any non-original Brazillian fan to root for you. If you enjoy wanting others to see you lose, I guess that doesn't phase you, but that would irk me to have a player constantly in the spotlight for his antics just as much as his skill. At least players like Ronaldo have improved the past couple years.

I mean, it's almost intelligent to exaggerate fouls a little bit to ensure they get called. What this guy does? Is straight off Broadway, you seriously have to laugh. It only bites him in the rear this WC, because people are already calling for him to get booked for his play acting. This just results in the refs overlooking what actually might be a legitimate foul. I guess Neymar is just floating so high above others that no teammate or coach will tell him to tone down the stupidity a bit.


Anywho this isn't some rant against Brazil as I can appreciate their talent, which you have a lot of, as usual. Should be interesting to see how far you guys go.

Nobody does that. The rest is your opinion. I disagree but I respect.
