Layun has amongst the worse decision making I've ever seen at this level. Seems to shoot every time he gets within about thirty yards, and the odd time he doesn't are the only times he should. It's bewildering.

Sweden looking slightly better so far imo, apart from the last ~10 minutes or so maybe.
Lol at Germany.
Can't wait for Hong Myung-Bo to arrive at the back post at the wheel of a Ssangyong Tivoli in the 89th minute and ram home the winner.
Has Drogba been on BBC the whole time? I could have sworn it was ITV he was on.
But, if Sweden beat Mexico by one goal, then Mexico also go down to +1 GD. Which means it would go down to goal difference in games between the three, which would all the same, then goals scored between the three which would be Germany 2, Mexico 1 and Sweden 3.
I think. My head hurts.
It doesn't go to goal difference between the three, it goes down to goals scored overall.

GET IN!!!!!!!! Augustinsson you beutiful bastard.
Seriously lol defending.
Germany out atm.
Players have arrived completely alone on that flank all day long.
Forsberg again He seriously hasn't showd up this tournament.
Gustav Svensson is as unsexy as a football player can get (not talking looks)
On the ropes right now. They'll concede three at this rate.
2-0 Granqvist!!!!!
It was once again one of those where I can see merit in either decision. First went in favor of Mexico, so I guess this had to go to Sweden. That's how it works, no?
Definitely was looking for it, he did the thing where he stopped running and put himself in front of the Mexican and then collapsed. I guess it's a penalty, though...
Son just got booked for diving when he was clearly fouled.
That foul given against Guardado there doesn't really matter, but it's genuinely one of the worst decisions I've ever seen given by an official.
Korea has some tasty counterattacks. The Germans are not taking defensive runs.
Korea gonna win this
Edson Alvarez was a complete disaster all throughout.
This has to be the biggest bottle job since the loss against the US.
Oh Korea how many counter attacks are you gonna miss.
How many counter attack chances are Korea going to waste?
Edit: Snap, Trance.
If I was picking two teams to go through from this group it'd be Mexico and Korea, both so much more fun than the other two. Real shame that turgid Sweden team are going through at all, but if they wind up biffing Mexico I'm banning Trance and Maz.
Well, hello.
At this rate Mexico will go through and they'll be missing like 5 players in the next round.
Plenty of time for the Germans to win with crushing ease yet.
It's all set for a magnificent Switzerland-Sweden tie in the 16. Exciting football at its finest.
Also, if Germany don't go through, that's the third consecutive World Cup where the previous champions go out in the group stage.
Jonathan Pearce tells us that 'Germany and Brazil going out on the same day before the knockout stages' has NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE, in the same tone of voice he'd adopt when Chaos 2 took on a house robot.
Of course it hasn't.
Korea just can't finish that final pass in their counters.
