That was pretty much the worst result Croatia could've hoped for. Now Mexico are likely to park the bus and play for a draw in the final group game.

The last part of the game was all Brazil, but prior to that, Mexico had a lot of quality play too.

Well earned. i thought the Mexican defense was fantastic. Oscar was totally ineffective and Neymar only had a few flashes.

Yes the keeper did bail them out and Mexico also threatened a few times.

That was a damn entertaining 0-0 draw. Marcello at the end made my laugh, still beaking at the ref.

Hands on shoulders.. regardless of the attacker falling, it could have been a foul first.
Ref was in good position though and let it go.

Reading he's been linked to Milan a lot as well. He is out of contract so you just have to pay his wages.

This Mexican side is growing on me, when England craps the bed vs. Uruguay I am switching my allegiance to them and the USA. Team Free Trade or the Mulroneys.

That's what us defenders call the "perfect amount of contact" Just enough to throw him off, but not enough to concede a PK.

I think the ref was close enough to realize that he fell AFTER the contact was made. If he would have fallen a quarter of a second earlier, probably would have been called. It was the flop and extension of the arms that gave away the dive.

Oscar was ineffective all game, he made a few great plays but Fred is total trash. Brazil lacks a strong finisher, but they should get by with Neymar upfront. Mexico holds on for a point thanks to the goalkeeper.

I really hope Fred is sat at the end of the bench for the rest of the tournament he is total trash.

Upsetting result, but at least a draw and Mexico didn't fluke out a win.

Problem is Big Phil depends on Fred so much that he didn't really take anyone else. Jo is garbage.

Could Brazil play with a false 9? They are way to stubborn to try.

I predicted Russia as a forgotten dark horse before the tournament. Interested to see if I just made a fool of myself
