Brazil don't look like much to fear.

They should play Fernandinho in place of either Paulinho or Ramires. But of course as a blinkered Man City fan I would say that.

Bit of a scrappy second half. Mexico are having most of the ball, but trying their luck from long range.

Runners-up in Group B (Spain :dunno ) will not be worried by this Brazilian performance.
Sports broadcasting media nut miscast as a hard-working family man. Or should that be the other way around?

Possibly, but will need to beat Croatia by more goals than Brazil put past Cameroon! Not that likely IMO

That was fun, what an effort by Mexico, and CONCACAF gets yet another point. The USA will start to believe that as long as they don't face Australia in the quarters or the semis then they have a chance of making the finals.

The save from Neymar reminded me of Seaman's against Sheffield utd, a few years ago.

If Marcello had got the penalty near the end, I may be agreeing with you :)

Wouldn't go that far, Seamans was behind him and clawed away, still a good save tonight.
