    I was also bemused at finding Dowie wasn't unbearable. Certainly less so than Keown or Murphy.

    There should be a rule that the Argentinians don't get anything. End of!

    BTW- Dowie is a decent co-commentator. A crap manager maybe, but he doesn't annoy like some!

    Really? He’s so limited. How many times did he repeat the phrase ‘gilt-edged chance’ (despite there being 2 at the most) during that game? He also said ‘drop deep’ every 5 minutes and at the end wouldn’t stop going on about how the Serbian attacker had been grabbed. (“Look, he’s grabbed him. You can see he’s grabbed him. Then he grabs him. But he did grab him.”) It was like listening to someone who had never commentated before but had read a short book of football commentary cliches.

    Evra just wants to be loved. Zero actual insight.

    Dreadful pundit. He also clapped after Aluko gave her opinion before the game which seemed a bit patronising. She'd clearly done some research into the teams, whereas he'd just turned up.

    Didn't grate on me like a few do. Lawro goes on and on and on and on and..........

    Barry Davies and Lawro and half the country will be looking for a bridge to jump off!

    Anyway - COME ON MEXICO!!!!!

    Yeah that's how I saw it, he wasn't grating, which just made a change.

    The German team look strong but hopefully Mexico can really push them.

    Good start for the Mexicans.

    Lively start to this

    The female pundits are amongst the best, probably because they feel the need to do some actual research (you know, like journalists do) rather than turn up and spout whatever comes into their heads.

    Great atmosphere at this one and Mexico look really up for it.

    A Mexican win will help England

    Germany look useless against any pace. Very interesting.

    "Germany are a better team than Arsenal" Insightful commentary from Neville there...

    What the fuck is that haircut on The German manager

    Lozano is excellent.

    If Mexico had a final ball they win this
  • Options
    Excellent counter attacking by the Mexicans bu always poor decision making and final ball.
  • Options
    Germany are struggling to control the pace of the game. When Mexico win the ball, they move it quickly across the halfway line and are attacking exposed defenders. Germany look vulnerable for once.

    Get in.

    Superb goal. And not against the run of play either

    Hmm ageing Germany side with players struggling for game time. Not the biggest surprise
  • Options
    Thoroughly deserved. Great to watch.
  • Options
    Yes Yes Yes!!! Hope Mexico win this game! They look very good. :sunglasses:
  • Options
    there you go... don't think anyone can be shocked by that on the pattern of play so far. Germany still in friendly-mode.
  • Options
    Deserve that, they look so dangerous on the counter. Just been lacking that final pass.

    Lozano looking class as expected.

    Congrats to @Henry Irving on your mexican lovechild scoring in a World Cup game!
  • Options
    Yes! Come on Mexico - this is an enjoyable game so far.
