    been generally impressed with Mexico, play some nice stuff however their keeper is too short. At 5'7 he probably cannot even reach the crossbar.

    They a short keeper in USA '94, he wore dayglow orange & pink top, I think he was about the same height.

    Some of the best keepers around are on the shorter side (I mean for a keeper, not an average guy), Given and Casillas are only around 5'11-6ft for example, but this guy is surely a liability.

    Imagine if he ever played against Stoke.

    This is karma for my secondary school French teacher being a miserable old goat.

    I wouldn't bank on Mexico and Uruguay playing out a draw. The group runners up will play Argentina in the last 16.

    I went on bet365 at half time and was astounded to see France at 6/4 and Mexico at 10/3 so was gonna put £100 on Mexico and then changed it to £200. Get in, fully deserved Mexico aswell, France absolute shite
    Btw is it just me or does the French manager look like he couldnt give a toss

    Knows he is leaving the job regardless, also have to agree with the commentators that the players look disinterested and there is no unity.

    Feel a bit sorry for the French, they have some real talent in their squad. Can't believe the manager though, brings 5 strikers to the tournament but insists on playing a defensive game (they had 3 defensive midfielders against Uruguay for goodness sake!) and when they really need goals he still leaves a lone striker up top. The bloke is a nutjob. They will be a force again with Laurent Blanc in charge.

    Don't get that Phil. If France 6/4 & Mexico 10/3, the bookies would surely go bust ? You just stick your whole lifesavings equally between the two & you can't lose.
