*** The late but Offical Match Thread: Holland v Mexico***

[TomandJerry]

You didn't think that was a penalty?

Clearly not a penalty!

 

[Meade's Ball]

You didn't think that was a penalty?

Alright maybe it was.
But he's not to be believed and i want him to feel pain.

I think Martin O'Neill is one of the better pundits. Never shies away from telling it how it is.

Any other player than Robben (and Suarez, of course, but that's a given, shirley?) and it's a pen. Robben? Get up and stop diving....

Seems like have the crowd in the stand opposite the cameras have gone for their "cooling break" about 10 minutes before half-time!

I remember suffering in the full sun of the family stand at Withdean on more than one occasion. I could not sit out in what they've got there.

 

[TomandJerry]

Mexico 1-0

 

[Meade's Ball]

Get in!

 

[TheJasperCo]

Ooo-er, the Mexicans have gone done a goal. And what a good one it was as well, it was.

 

[1066familyman]

Lovely goal! This should make the Dutch come out and play.

Yet another quality left foot strike

 

[hart's shirt]

Football aside, Mexico are worth watching purely for manager Miguel Herrera's goal celebrations.

 

[TomandJerry]

Great save that

Ochoa is doing his employment prospects no harm in this tournament.

His hair is also winning me over. So thick and expertly curled.

It must be a wig

 

[Seasidesage]

Clearly not a penalty!

 

[Goldstone1976]

Ochoa has just been called "UJJoa" - which reminds me - anyone know where Leo is?

 

[TomandJerry]

Another great save from the keeper with a wig

 

[del strangefish]

4 Dives and no Booking for serial cheat Arjen Robben

 

[TomandJerry]

They don't need a cooling break, whimps!

 

[TomandJerry]

Is it possible to score against this keeper?
