    Mexico look the better team but Portugal just have to much quality on the attack. Decent game.

    Half the Portuguese team were offside from the initial ball back into the box but how many " phases" did they go through before the * scored ? We also don't actually know which offside it was disallowed for.

    It was a tongue-in-cheek comment based on their "quality signings" from these two countries

    I know, always find the whole phases thing for offsides confusing as *.

    Video technology sounds like a good idea until you remember it will be done by the same mugs who * up everything else

    That's twice now in a week I've seen it and both have been a * up. Today and the England France game..

    Terrible. Hope we don't get it domestically now. Can you imagine.....

    First time I have seen it and was not impressed. Seems to penalise the attacking team as well. When a goal is scored they look back at it but any fouls on infringements by the defending team seem to go unpunished.
