Germany 0-1 Mexico |Group F

[wale1974]

German coaches looking like trash at this WC. Mexico always plays with heart. I hope the SEs are watching.

U love to talk Trash man...................wow

Germany played well they just met a team that refused to play like a coward.

[sayala]

Mexico showed Germany no respect. No fear. No shaking

[Its a Goal]

This is not about football cowardice. Rather it shows that nations that invest in their infrastructure from youth to leagues can do these kind of things. We cannot be successful as long as we depend on Euro leagues to develop our players for us.

KPOM!!!

Agreed. It’s not simply about being brave. You can be stupid while brave.

We have invested nothing in our game that matches our expectations.

Germany are overrated...they needed Sane today...but too much arrogance from Low.

... a man no dey make forest dem say. I doubt Sane could have over powered a determined side. Yes, he will run, but he will get tired.

IMHO, Sane is much craftier and quicker than most if not all the players Germany fielded today. He could have won a PK, made a decisive 1st or 2nd pass. A guy with that talent you do not leave at home

Have you ever watched him play for Germany?

Yes and he is not as mechanical as the rest. He has something unique that we all see. But at the same time, his bag of talents gives you another tool in your swiss army knife.

The great thing about this victory for Mexico is that even more important than it helping them qualify from the group it will help them avoid playing Brazil in the R16.

[ohsee]

Heh heh! This game sweet me well well o. Serves Low right for leaving out Sane. One of the commentators on TSN used the “N” word in reference to Germany, that word usually reserved for Africans: “naive” defending.

[Odas]

The Mexican coach just said "We cannot play with fear of losing". Hope Rohr is listening

I hope so too, because in our two renaming games, we must show we are supposed to be here (in Russia), else ...

[airwolex]

Its definitely about cowardice...Rohr clearly setup to try not to lose..Mexico had plans to score, and they did

England nko?

I seriously doubt that you have. He’s offered nothing in terms of how they play. Not even effort...

[Coach]

70 odd gone, trying to think Draxler @Tx, any ideas?

Probably the best German player out there. You have to pay attention to how they play out wide.

The out wide where the Mexicans made more key passes than a drug cartel? Did sod all going back and even less going forward. Perhaps it was the garlic in all four corners of the stadium #draxcula

[Amen]

It must be noted that this is a golden generation for the mexican NT. This lot won the U17 and U20 worlds cups several years back ... if I am not mistaken.
These are the lot that were down to 10 and still gave us a tough game under keshi? in houston

England nko?

They aren’t awful. They just tend to underachieve. Plus for a long time they focused on the long balll. Not any longer though.

[Kneedeep]

This World Cup na helele I lorve it!

Jamani manschafted by Mexs'can pinchomachine!

Need to pay more attention to the game than your cliches...Sane is a non factor for Germany.

Not sure why you EPL fans cannot understand that.

It is referred to as the long pass now.

[tfco]

what a game.

Mexico could have scored a few more on the counter but for some selfishness

[akamoke]

Let's be real, CONCACAF is just one tough region! A great day for CONCACAF!

CONCACAF > CAF

It has always been though, so hardly surprising...they have made it to semis before so....

[Kabalega]

This World Cup na helele I lorve it!

Jamani manschafted by Mexs'can pinchomachine!

Many defending champions before today, lost their first game.
In fact, it is almost an expectation.

[akamoke]

Juan Carlos Osorio has taken so much criticism from the media and even some Mexican fans for the way he has been deploying the Mexican team. I like his mentality of taking it to the opponent and make them pay. My only issue is that he more of a tinker man lol, outside of that, he is an awesome coach and our African coaches need to learn a thing or two from his aggressive approach

The only thing that will hurt mexico is their strikers not being sharp in front of goal, they need to take chances , they could have been 2-0 up after 75 mins today, another day, those missed chances can prove costly, like it did last WC against Netherlands

And that is Key. How they play. I am sure Loew could have told him he had a specific task and will be used if and when needed.

[akamoke]

At this rate, it could be Germany vs Brazil for round of 16
