VAR is so boring. Was probably a penalty, but hey, I rather just win without help from the video refs.

It will be a shame if Mexico get knocked out and there is every chance right now

Germany and Mexico in big trouble! Crazy.

If Germany go out, out would be far more deserved than Mexico.

It's nothing against Sweden and good luck to them after what happened against Germany and the German reaction after. I'm watching the other game. I mean that I expect Germany to go through above Mexico which is a shame after they played so well against Germany.

Don't Germany have a really fast left winger who is known to get in behind defenses and score great goals? Would be a good time to sub him in now...

Ah, fair play. Sweden are looking nervous now. It's too soon to play 11 men behind the ball, but that's what we're doing.

Germany deserve to go out in the group stages for that decision alone. And the fact that Gundo isn't playing. This German team look terrible.
