Alright, Gok Wan.

See myself as more of a Laurence Llewellyn Bowen man.

Germany staring down the barrell!

Ozil has been shocking.  His body language is terrible.

Do they need to score twice? The RTE commentators had said they needed to match Swedens result to go through. Sweden are two up.

He's a bit of a bollox too. And Werner is hopelessly overrated. How did Sané not make this squad?

No, I think if they score once, Mexico will actually be out.

BBC are saying that 1-0 to Germany (and 2-0 to Sweden) will send Mexico home.

At the moment Mexico's goal difference is -1 (3-0 Sweden now). If Germany score and win, they will have a goal difference of +1 and go through.

Bit of a bollix on Mexico though seeing as they beat Germany. Thought head to head was counted before goal difference, obviously not.

Liverpool are supposed to be interested in Werner. Wouldn't be impressed with him from what I've seen.

I know we shouldn't judge on WC tournaments (see Diouf,El Hadj) but he looks cack. This Brandt lad that's just come on looked good the last couple of times..

Germany incredibly slow to move the ball.   No speed in that team at all.  Werner looks out of his depth.

I think it does unless there are three teams tied on points!

I think that's correct. If Germany win, there will be 3 teams on 6 points, so GD comes in.

ESPN were talking up Mexico's chances of winning the World Cup a couple days ago..

Makes sense.
Sweden beat Mexico. Germany beat Sweden and Mexico beat Germany so on head to head they would all knock each other out  ;D
