    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.

    Wouldn't be horrible decisions if his shots had not been all disgustingly poor so far.

    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.

    It doesn't go to goal difference between the three, it goes down to goals scored overall.

    Ye, it's genuinely like Mexico are playing a 2-7-1 or 2-5-3 of sorts.

    Alvarez is not a full back. Fuck knows why he insists on playing him there. Layun could backtrack a bit too.

    Fair enough - I got tiebreaker info from Wiki.

    Anyway, fucking power cut just as Sweden take the lead.

    Doesn't really matter whether you lose 1-0 or 3-0 at least.

    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?

    True, but I would have expected them to turn it around, not limp their way through.

    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...

    That said, one goal and you're through even if Germany score. Not that you look like you're ever going to score though.

    For sure. Still, you shouldn't slide like a spacker in the box.

    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.

    Would love to see it but I reckon the Germans will get a winner. Fucking Gomez, probably.

    That would put Mexico out, wouldn't it? That'd be a shame. Also don't want to see this German team go through because they're dull and shit.

    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.

    At this rate Mexico will go through and they'll be missing like 5 players in the next round.

    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.
