Mexico vs Uruguay

[IronMexican]

Get this shit cracking. Can't wait.

[IronMexican]

Can't wait

[IronMexican]

It's a good thing this one doesn't start at 4:30

[ElNono]

Hard to predict game... A draw wouldn't surprise me, since a loss could actually mean getting kicked out of the competition...

[DAF86]

A 0-0 would look way too suspicious.

[IronMexican]

I'm guessing 0-0, or Mexico tries to press hard for a gol and Uruguay will get them on the counter.

[sonic21]

Hard to predict game... A draw wouldn't surprise me, since a loss could actually mean getting kicked out of the competition...

France or SA would have to score 3 or 4 goals.

I'd be surprise if France scores one goal.

[boston.balla]

i looked at some french sport publications online (le figaro) and even with my ailing french i understood these guys are getting bukkaked hard back home.

as they sould be.

[boston.balla]

as they sould be.

i sincerely can't understand how domenech kept his place so much .. it simply puzzles me.

[sonic21]

i sincerely can't understand how domenech kept his place so much .. it simply puzzles me.

the french federation is worthless and incompetent, they signed a 4 years deal with Domenech after the 2006 WC (even though everyone knew the players went to the finale despite of him) and the didn't want to fire him after the 2008 fiasco for financial reasons.

[sonic21]

the players were wrong of course, but they didn't want to practice to protest against the federation. The good news is they all have to quit now.

Fuck!!! I can't watch this game, I got court in Baytown.... sigh

[Libri]

Guardado and Blanco starting.

[Sense]

Guardado and Blanco starting.

Excited about Guardado starting....

[Sense]

horrible mistake

[Sense]

"if someone tackles from behind, a card is warranted"... really?

[Sense]

So far Mexico's defense is horrible

[urunobili]

Mexico very dangerous

[Sense]

Jesus if they keep playing like this theyre gonna get killed

[Sense]

Franco just fouled near the box, and now he fuckin failed twice, how many more of these stupid plays must Aguirre witness to put Chicharito in there?

[Libri]

Guardado with a bullet, almost went in

[Sense]

Alright... I'm off to drive to Baytown... hope this team wins, Uruguay is playing very good. Laters

[urunobili]

and we are the ones that can just defeat a team by beating them up :rolleyes

[urunobili]

lol with Bafana winning it's tough for Mexico to make it.. they have toi attack opening the floor for Uruguayan countertacks!!

[Libri]

Suarez all alone.

[ElNono]

lol messico...

[Cry Havoc]

Alright... I'm off to drive to Baytown... hope this team wins, Uruguay is playing very good. Laters

:lmao

Mexico better than the US

:lmao

[ElNono]

Two goal diff between SA and Mexico...
Chicharrito should be there in the 2nd half...

[resistanze]

Uruguay playing like it's 1930!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

So if Uruguay scores another and South Africa scores another, Mexico is in deep shit?

[urunobili]

So if Uruguay scores another and South Africa scores another, Mexico is in deep shit?

That would be defined by a poll by FIFA...

[MaNuMaNiAc]

That would be defined by a poll by FIFA...

a poll or a draw?

[scott]

So if Uruguay scores another and South Africa scores another, Mexico is in deep shit?

Yep. The Drug Cartel War down there will seem like nothing compared to the ensuing riot if this happens!

[ElNono]

So if Uruguay scores another and South Africa scores another, Mexico is in deep shit?

Coin flip...

[ElNono]

That tie in the opener could prove costly for Mexico...

[DAF86]

So if Uruguay scores another and South Africa scores another, Mexico is in deep shit?

Yep, South Africa would advace for having more goals scored.

[MannyIsGod]

Holy shit how can I not root for South Africa?

[urunobili]

Yep, South Africa would advace for having more goals scored.

so if Uruguay scores two more is when a draw would happen?

[DAF86]

so if Uruguay scores two more is when a draw would happen?

Yes.

[ElNono]

so if Uruguay scores two more is when a draw would happen?

Rock-Paper-Scissors at midfield...

[Spurologist]

so SA can still qualify no?

[jack sommerset]

I hope South Africa pulls this off!

[DAF86]

Rock-Paper-Scissors at midfield...

They should go for a penalty shootout, instead of a coin flip.

[ElNono]

Watch out for Uruguay's counterattack...

[jack sommerset]

Mexico is playing awfully cautious still.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Mexico is playing awfully cautious still.

With the way they're playing, I think the best they can hope for is keeping the score 1-0.

[MannyIsGod]

Fuck - wish I was at home and then I could watch both games.

[MannyIsGod]

As it is I can barely watch one.

Oh and Mexico better score because the way SA is playing they're going to score again.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

As it is I can barely watch one.

Oh and Mexico better score because the way SA is playing they're going to score again.

They smell blood

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah - SA is all over this shit. God I hope they score.

[MannyIsGod]

BTW for the 3rd games I think we should have one thread for both games because its tough flipping back and forth between 2 threads :lol

[resistanze]

^^ For real.

[MannyIsGod]

Fuck it this is the only thread I'm using.

[Spurologist]

BTW for the 3rd games I think we should have one thread for both games because its tough flipping back and forth between 2 threads :lol

:tu

[MaNuMaNiAc]

How the fuck did Mexico miss that one??

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Well, well, looks like we're playing Mexico in the Round of 16.

[IronMexican]

What a let down by Mexico today. If Franco starts, they have no chance.

[DAF86]

Well, well, looks like we're playing Mexico in the Round of 16.

Why? Look at it this way, if we can't beat THIS Mexico, then we definitely don't deserve to win the WC. Period.

Mexico was awful today. I'm fully confident we'll win if they play like this.

[MannyIsGod]

Mexico has one good game in this tourney. Not exactly tearing it up.

[ElNono]

Good thing Maxi Rodriguez is still in our squad...

Although, IMO, Aguirre >>>>>> LaVolpe

[DAF86]

Why? Look at it this way, if we can't beat THIS Mexico, then we definitely don't deserve to win the WC. Period.

I have a feeling, my feelings are almost always right.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

I have a feeling, my feelings are almost always right.

Usually always right? :lol

[DAF86]

Usually always right? :lol

I don't know what you're talking about :D

[ElNono]

Congrats Urunobili...good luck against South Korea...

[Bukefal]

Congrats to both these teams!! :clap

[urunobili]

Congrats Urunobili...good luck against South Korea...

thanks... Uruguay is a chaos right now... people on the streets mails from Uruguayans all over the world... I'll be in Buenos Aires for the final... and if el eliminador prediction is right i may end up shot in 9 de Julio with my Uruguayan jersey :lol

[The_Worlds_finest]

congrats uru. good luck in the knockout stage

[urunobili]

I want Greece TBH but If it's Korea so be it...

[IronMexican]

Uruguay should dominate either. Doesn't matter, really.

Be careful in Buenos Aires. If you get shot who will talk to me in chat during Spurs games???

Congratulations, BTW!!!:toast

Don't forget Brazil plays on Friday... :rolleyes

[Libri]

What a let down by Mexico today. If Franco starts, they have no chance.

Also, Aguirre takes out Guardado early; can't find the logic of taking him out.

[urunobili]

Don't forget Brazil plays on Friday... :rolleyes

I said I'll be on there for the FINAL of the WC... that's July 11th... will arrive the 9th and come back to MVD the 12th... couldn't care less when Brazil plays next... :rolleyes

[ElNono]

I said I'll be on there for the FINAL of the WC... that's July 11th... will arrive the 9th and come back to MVD the 12th... couldn't care less when Brazil plays next... :rolleyes

Come on. I know you're praying for Kaka's red to be rescinded... :rolleyes

yeah right :lol

[urunobili]

lol i said Uruguayans generally support Brazil... Im more an Argentinean homer TBH... this Argie generation doesn't get my love because of Maradona and Heinze :rolleyes

[rascal]

Well, well, looks like we're playing Mexico in the Round of 16.

Argentina should have no trouble with Mexico.

[rascal]

Mexico has one good game in this tourney. Not exactly tearing it up.

Which game? France doesn't count, they mailed it in and were the worst team in the tournament.

Mexico did not look good at all.

[ElNono]

No team or game is easy in the knockout stages... One lucky shot goes in and it can ruin your entire tournament. Even Uruguay can't take it easy against South Korea.

[Phenomanul]

Also, Aguirre takes out Guardado early; can't find the logic of taking him out.

^^^This...


That was singlehandedly the most perplexing decision yesterday...

Franco should have been pulled out at halftime for Chicharito...

Instead Guardado was taken out even though he was playing great? WTH??? :bang

[Phenomanul]

Oh... and Messi will most definitely find the net against Mexico...

[urunobili]

If Uruguay had more chances and defeated Mexico... Argentina is set to vomit on them for 3, 4 goals and build confidence for the rest of the cup...

Aguirre has been doing some questionable decisions with the personnel and I don't think that's bound to change...

I think you're overstating the victory... As bad as Mexico played, they weren't dominated by the Uruguayan side... they simply lost by the smallest margin and watched the Uruguayan team defend with 11 players for most of the second half...

Guillermo Franco is playing like crap...

I will agree about Aguirre's stubborness; though truth be told it can't be worse than LaVolpe's stubborness (one which kept a younger version of Cuahutemoc Blanco off the team)...

Be glad Guardado's 35m shot failed to go in... because otherwise the game script would have been reversed... going in I knew the first team to score would win the game....

[urunobili]

I think you're overstating the victory... As bad as Mexico played, they weren't dominated by the Uruguayan side... they simply lost by the smallest margin and watched the Uruguayan team defend with 11 players for the last ten minutes of the game...

fixed.

I just said defeated never said Uruguay dominated them... and we did have more chances even counting Guardado's 35 meter shot :wakeup

[Phenomanul]

fixed.

I just said defeated never said Uruguay dominated them... and we did have more chances even counting Guardado's 35 meter shot :wakeup

Francisco Rodriguez's header in the 2nd half was actually Mexico's best scoring chance... after Pablo Barrera zig-zagged around 2 defenders to muster the cross.... ball just didn't go in....

I would have included the shot Franco never took after Blanco lobbed the ball to him in the box... he just looked at the ball and followed it out of bounds... :bang

Aside from the goal, Uruguay's best scoring opportunity was saved by the keeper...

If by "Uruguay had more chances" you mean more shots on goal that actually went off target... yes, Uruguay took several shots from outside of the box... and most missed badly.

Frankly, neither squad looked dominant, superior or impressive....

I'm just glad that both Latin American countries advanced...

[Phenomanul]

But not looking forward to playing Argentina...

[urunobili]

But not looking forward to playing Argentina...

R.I.P. Aguirre :lol

[Phenomanul]

The only CONMEBOL giant Mexico has had some success* over the past ten years or so has been Brazil...

6 victories...
5 ties...
3 defeats...

In the same span Mexico vs Argentina has generated the following results...

1 victory...
2 ties...
5 defeats...

[Sense]

Good game? Didn't really watch it, but expected defeat. Nevertheless, Uruguay was playing solid.

Btw CryHavoc... I still believe they're the better team...


The only thing keeping this team back is Aguirre.... he's making some horrible decisions.

There's no way we beat Argentina with El Conejo as the goalkeeper.... Blanco starting? You know how I feel about this.

Franco killing the team some more...

I don't understand what Aguirre is doing with these retarded line ups. I hope Vela plays, Chicharito starts, Guardado starts again, and Ochoa miraculously makes it to the starting line up.


If not, we should get blown out... watching these games is pissing me off.

[hater]

no man.

Mexico always plays well vs. Argentina. They have good players in fron Dos Santos and Guardado. It'll be a great game

[urunobili]

lies!!! :lol

[Sense]

lies!!! :lol

I did... probably 15 minutes in. Trust me I wouldn't have gone to court had it looked promising :lol

I mean c'mon Blanco was starting, and Franco failing like he always does, Guardado taken out? Vela injured, El Conejo.... Chicharito... there's just so many things stacked against us


Not taking anything away from Uruguay, but I expected a worse result.

[IronMexican]

I called Mexico losing 1-0 on page 1. Before the game even started. Beat that.

[Dinamita]

I called Mexico losing 1-0 on page 1. Before the game even started. Beat that.

I called it when Aguirre picked Bofo over Jona

If Blanco AND Franco start, I'm not even watching this game...

If none of them start, we have a great chance to win.
