Please don't predict draws. It's so hard to bet on the opposite...

But seriously, I think Brazil will win against Mexico. It will be tight, but Brazil will win. And I also think Russia will beat South Korea.

Well I got the winner right, but not the score. I don't think anyone would have picked Algeria over Belgium though.

Bilbo1967 · 06-17-2014, 02:26 PM

Even I would have predicted a Belgium win (no, honestly).

I just hope that the outcome of the Brazil/Mexico game isn't affected by poor refereeing, as in Brazil's first match.

Still, on the basis that fools never learn, here are my predictions for the rest of the evening;

Brazil 2 v 2 Mexico
Russia 1 v 2 South Korea

That tie of Brazil with Mexico is risky.... I don't think the referee will allow it.

^It'll work out when the penalty sails over the crossbar.

So when do Mexico and Brazil kickoff? I'm getting 4:00PM on the FIFA site and 1:00PM on Yahoo. Confusing no doubt. I thought there were no overlapping games until the third game of group qualifying.

8pm UK time, i.e. about 15 minutes time.

HomeInMyShoes · 06-17-2014, 03:19 PM

Yep, it's started.

Go Mexico! They are on their heels a bit to start. They need to get settled down or it could be ugly.

Salgueiros · 06-17-2014, 03:23 PM

Just for the fact Mexico is not playing with their usual kit, i think the probability of winning dropped 50%. Why did they do that? They play in green, Brazil in yellow! What can be confusing about that?

I hate this marketing bollocks made just for selling more jerseys!

HomeInMyShoes · 06-17-2014, 03:50 PM

^Lol. Officials were probably worried it would be an unfair advantage for Mexico to wear camoflague.

0-0 at the half.

Bilbo1967 · 06-17-2014, 04:18 PM

Well, right now, Mexico seem like the better team to me. If they were to win it would really shake things up!

HomeInMyShoes · 06-17-2014, 04:20 PM

Over the last few minutes Mexico has picked up play, but the dangerous chances were certainly Brazil's in the first half. Good saves and entertaining game so far.

I'm all for drama. Go Mexico!

Salgueiros · 06-17-2014, 04:30 PM

Brazil suffocating Mexico now. I would not be surprised if this game is decided by a penalty kick.

HomeInMyShoes · 06-17-2014, 04:41 PM

Five minutes plus extra time remaining. I'm going to have a heart attack.

Salgueiros · 06-17-2014, 04:43 PM

Ochoa!!! Have you seen that save? It was pure instinct!

Bilbo1967 · 06-17-2014, 04:44 PM

Great save! One of two or three he's made this match.
