Yeah. That second one looked like a bad decision as well.

At 2-0 you'd fancy mexico to have the advantage to go thru but a draw puts Croatia right in the drivers seat.

Lots of football to play...I expect mexico to lose this now when I fancied them to win it at the outset.

Horrible officiating like this would normally bother me. But since it happened to Mexico I'm glad.

Actually, the ref from Japan from last night is actually one of the best in the world, had a great tournament in South Africa. I think Brazil will receive high favours, just because of their situation.

Just imagine how could you shut up all the voices that said the world cup will kill the economy in Brazil? With Brazil winning the cup, of course.

Why would Brazil winning the World Cup stop the protest? Those problems are going to disappear because of tournament. The issues going on there are far bigger than a game.

Just as there are bigger issues than "It's Mexico so it's ok".

I want decisions right. The game is bigger than my petty little likes and dislikes.

I have a bit of a soft spot for Mexico - I don't know why. Two perfectly good goals disallowed, and the referee taking the lime light (for all the wrong reasons) for the second game in a row.

So you think the referee got the decisions right? Very strange.

You've never had the joys of going to a Mexico/US match at Azteca and sitting the away section. Dodging bags and cups of urine, vomit and feces.

No, you misunderstand me, mate. I think the injustice might help a lot of people develop a soft spot for Mexico. I was neutral before. A bit less so now. Nothing against Cameroon, like.

How many more dodgy decisions has this ref got in him? Dos Santos really turns it on for Mexico.Really talented player he should be doing much better at club level.

Aaah I see. It's actually been for two or three world cups now though. I don't know anything about Mexican football, and considering that Mexican RAG is a bit of a tosspot too, it makes it even stranger.

Mexico have actually played some lovely attacking football.
Cameroon have been dire though, offered nothing so far.
