The Football.....

[Kins]

Dunno about the commentators afterwards, found it a fascinating 0-0. Good job Mexico!

That's interesting. Though I'm not sure it's entirely fair to include the MLS in a comparison of World Leagues - I can't think of any others with a wage cap which naturally makes it more competitive. That said, a wage cap would make more leagues around the world far more entertaining as it wouldn't be the usual suspects in England, Scotland, Germany, Italy, Spain and Holland winning every year.

I have read that it is the participation of the fans that has captured them this time
Never thought I'd see scenes like this in the middle of the USA. Kansas last night.

Below average strikers which was their problem tonight.

And an honest ref....

And an honest ref....

Forgot about the ref, he deserves a pat on the back, let loads of minor fouls go when he could and only booked when he had zero option to.

Scotland could beat Brazil, if only we had qualified.

Doubt it

When did Nick Griffin become manager of Mexico?

Do they get their syrups from the same supplier.

Bloody hell! I remember getting in for free to watch The Galaxy just over a decade ago. Had the pick of the stadium too!

Ochoa won that point for Mexico tonight. His save from Neymar's header in the first half was particularly impressive.

They are one of the few teams we've failed to beat at least once over the years, couple draws and eight defeats

Aye but we should have beaten them a couple of times, and would have done if we had qualified this time and were in their group...by at least 5

Thats like saying England will win the World Cup, or even reach the Semis!

I'd never say that.

. . . found it a fascinating 0-0. Good job Mexico!

Mexico played a great game of football last night. Plenty of skill, open attacking play and ball to feet, none of the crap 'aerial' tactics displayed by England. And what a performance from the 'keeper.

Well played, Mexico.

He's without a club at the moment, was released by his team at the end of their season.

If he's capable of playing like that consistently, then he's bound to attract the attention of a big Premier League club, methinks.
