    Interesting that some South Koreans salute during national anthem and some dont.

    Is it me or did the ITV Commentator just say that Vodka is needed when in the company of Iain Dowie?

    Quite a while to be honest, they deliver through Uber Eats.

    How many free kicks/corners already? I am half paying attention and every time I watch it, seems like it’s a free kick to Mexico.

    Dowie talking bollocks as usual.
  • Just catching up with the Belgium game (we're a bit behind in Dorset). Did my ears decieve me did Phil Neville compared the Belgian performance with England's?

    I agree they look a little vulnerable at the back but going forward they should have had 8 or 9 today. Going to be there or thereabouts on what I've seen so far.

    The 2 players saluting are on national service.

    This result means that if Germany don't win later, they're 90% out.

    If they somehow manage to draw tonight I wouldn't bet against Sweden/Mexico playing out a draw - it's just too big an opportunity to remove the champs from the equation.

    Exactly what I'm thinking. There's no way Mexico and Sweden don't settle for 1st and 2nd. Sweden to qualify at 6/4 worth a go?

    Can you tell I don't fancy this German team? First tipping Mexico against them, now expecting them to struggle to beat Sweden!

    Only hope for the Germans is the fact that Sweden were bloody awful against South Korea so if they dont win then Germany fully deserve to crash out

    Wonder what it'll mean for Joachim Low if that happens seeing that Germany have never exited at the Group Stages

    Germans usually find a way. Would be funny though.

    My old Grandad gave me one piece of advice when he first took me to a betting shop as a fresh faced 18 year old during the 2002 world cup... never bet against the Germans. I'll pass that on do with it what you will but it's never seen me wrong!

    Edit So fresh faced was I, I even got ID'ed! First and last time ever!

    Sweden are a reasonable team but lack Zlatan.

    If Germany win tonight, then assuming they then beat South Korea, a Sweden win over Mexico will mean all 3 teams have 6 points!

    And that goal may have just messed up Mexico's Goal Difference if what you say happens

    Would be possible too

    Can't see Mexico losing to Sweden so they should win the group from here. 2nd at best for the Germans and a match against Brazil awaits in my opinion!
