Spain and Holland is likely to be a dour lifeless "we cool bro?" scoreless draw, I fear

Excited to watch Chile play, they absolutely dominated Germany in a friendly a couple of months ago while also managing to lose 1-0.
Haven't seen Mexico play since Olympics when they were really good but qualification was shitty. Is Carlos Vela back in the squad or not?
Be v surprised if Holland win but think their defence is more vulnerable to teams that play much more of a transition game than Spain do.

xp that's a good feature. even with a cursory scroll thru i learned a lot i didn't know.

Vela not in squad. i think he's basically said he'll never play for Mexico again.
― mizzell, Friday, 13 June 2014 14:29 (nine years ago) link
Vela turned down the call up for Mexico.
I watched their tune-up game vs Bosnia in Chicago, Bosnia basically owned the game outside of little pea hitting the post and won 1-0.

enjoyed watching croatia's midfield they were very good at passing the ball? Or maybe it was because Brazil midfield weren't very good at pressing them?
this is my perennial achilles heel with football, i can't tell the difference between good offense and bad defense, or vice versa, no matter how many games i watch

Croatian passing was excellent IMO but hey yo is allowed to differ then I throw a brick at you its soccer

ESPN passing on AP announcement that the Natal fire authority has questions about 'structural integrity' of the stadium given the rain, says the Mexico/Cameroon match responsibility is all on FIFA. Fun!

Lt. Christiano Couceiro told the UOL news portal that a Thursday inspection of the Arena das Dunas found some problems, including some missing guardrails to keep fans from falling and temporary seating that wasn’t bolted to the structure.He also said that an area with 11,000 temporary seats had not yet been inspected by his department.

I am of course watching the Univision feed for this one, which is already making it sound like a party apocalypse at 15 seconds in.

I've dvr'd the Aus game so I can see the sadness playout in all its hd glory -- I get off at 3 today but have to run errands so will be forced to listen to most of the game :/

Anyway, Univision's feed has already crashed several times, thanks guys! It's called anticipating your audience. Back to the Worldwide Leader, joy.

Gonna go out on a limb and suggest that a highish back line combined with no pressure on the ball isn't going to go well for Cameroon.
