[TripItUp]

The much maligned Mexican backline has performed admirably here.

 

[Christo]

Having a Kentucky Mule because I used up my vodka but still had some ginger beer left

 

[Jaysus]

The best player on the field in the first half plays in MLS. 

Well then, it certainly makes sense to get him off the field now!

Hey, that's someone's sister 

 

[JaxBill]

Having a Kentucky Mule because I used up my vodka but still had some ginger beer left

Should be quite a kick.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Well then, it certainly makes sense to get him off the field now!

way too early for a tactical sub imo.

 

[Sebowski]

Meola sounds so much like Troy Aikman. That's what was throwing me off about him. 

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Interesting sub. The slow German CBs are already hung out to dry by that high midfield. Not sure removing Kedirah for Reus is the answer. 

 

[The Z Machine]

I could see Mexico going 5 at the back with Rafa in the middle if holding this lead in the 88th.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Meola sounds so much like Troy Aikman. That's what was throwing me off about him. 

Well, just thank God that Joe Buck is not sitting beside him....

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Better to have passionate, classless fans than the suburban soccer mom opposite.

Classic racist profiling. 

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Meola sounds so much like Troy Aikman. That's what was throwing me off about him. 

I had the same thought. Very similar.

 

[heckmanm]

Well, just thank God that Joe Buck is not sitting beside him....

Joe’s busy ####### up golf coverage

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

an der Tür klopfen

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Good, hard nosed futbol.  No foul.

 

[TripItUp]

good non-call there.

Make a ####### play Chicharito

 

[gianmarco]

That's a penalty for me. Clear foul in the box and did not play the ball.

 

[The Gator]

Classic Mexico faking an injury

 

[gianmarco]

And another killer run slicing through the German defense.

 

[The Z Machine]

I am sick of this Teutonic violence.

 

[Sebowski]

I can alsmot get behind the root for Mexico thing, but #### Rafa Marquez. Let's go Germany! 

 

[CletiusMaximus]

This is where the Aryan discipline and fitness should triumph over Latino lack of discipline and laziness. 

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Jogi about to press the Mario Lopez button. 

 

[The Z Machine]

I can alsmot get behind the root for Mexico thing, but #### Rafa Marquez. Let's go Germany! 

Now, I can understand that sentiment.

 

[JaxBill]

Don't understand Mexico strategy.

Everyone knows parking the lowrider is problematic.

 

[Kafka]

I can alsmot get behind the root for Mexico thing, but #### Rafa Marquez. Let's go Germany! 

Wait, what?

 

[Jaysus]

Neat stat. https://twitter.com/mexicoworldcup/status/1008386533009903617

 

[Christo]

This is where the Aryan discipline and fitness should triumph over Latino lack of discipline and laziness. 

Then they go and ruin it by sending in a guy named Gomez.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

A Rafa Marquez own goal in the 99th minute would be sweet.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

If Germany does tie this up Mexico is going to feel really dumb about wasting all these wide open breakaways.  Hard to believe they haven't put one in this half.

 

[gianmarco]

Love that Mexico continues to attack. Really impressed so far. No fear.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Now, I can understand that sentiment.

I get around this by rooting for a Mexico win and a catastrophic injury for Rafa. 

 

[⚡DEADHEAD⚡]

Feel like I'm listening to Troy Aikman.

And Alexi Lalas still sucks. 

 

[Christo]

I'll still get a good chuckle at Germany if this result holds up.

 

[The Gator]

Brandt has such a punchable face 

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

JFC

 

[Christo]

 

[gianmarco]

Would have been goal of the tournament so far.

 

[The Gator]

I heard the whistle 

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Boateng is for the children.

 

[Capella]

I love that I bought a Germany jersey and they immediately turned into the US team. 

 

[SoBeDad]

Germany should still advance. Sweden and S Korea in the group. 

 

[The Z Machine]

Who was the guy that put money in Mexico at +750?

 

[The Gator]

I love that I bought a Germany jersey and they immediately turned into the US team. 

 

[Christo]

Germany should still advance. Sweden and S Korea in the group. 

And probably catch Brazil in the round of 16.

 

[Sebowski]

And probably catch Brazil in the round of 16.

That worked out alright for them last time they played. 

 

[TripItUp]

Would have been goal of the tournament so far.

I'll take Ronaldo's equalizer free kick

 

[Kafka]

Love that Mexico continues to attack. Really impressed so far. No fear.

You don't deserve Salah.

 

[SoBeDad]

And probably catch Brazil in the round of 16.

A huge revenge game, if it happens.

 

[Christo]

That worked out alright for them last time they played. 

That was then. This is now.
