Two teams that play attacking football? It's bound to be a goalless draw and penalties.

Brazil reminds me of Sweden, and I'm not talking about the yellow shirts. They don't seem to have a working attacking strategy, they just rely on Ibrahimovic, sorry, Neymar to come up with something on his own.

That's pretty much what I was saying about Brazil yesterday. Neymar provides 90% of the flair and the rest of the team are mostly grafters, which is very odd for a Brazil squad. It's a bit like having James Milner and Dirk Kuyt throughout the starting line-up.
 
Stupid hour to play... o_O

Mexico is better, no surprise here. Weather is a factor and killed a game with 2 great teams.

Maybe a couple of penalties?! hum...

You're right so far ... although Holland should probably have had a penalty in added time there. I guess Robben's reputation went against him there. I wasn't sure it was a penalty until I saw the replay, and the ref had to make the decision without that luxury ...

EDIT: However, even though it could look like the first defender got the ball (even though he didn't), it was pretty clear that the second defender just hacked Robben down. I think the ref should have seen that.
