Enigma Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 The first game today. I fully expect a win for the Dutch, I think they'll play in the spirit and with the confidence they showed in the first game v Spain. I'll be supporting Mexico, we have a Mexican family friend, so a wee soft spot for them, the Mexicans are mad about their team, they'd really deserve a good World Cup. 2nd round always seems about as far as they go though. Their manager is also a nutter and a character, you just have to love his enthusiasm and mannerisms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Can't see past Holland really. Mexico are a solid outfit but seem to lack that special player you usually need to progress at the World Cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 ¡Vamos Mexico! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevthedee Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Will be a close game holland to win 2-1 but it may take extra time robben and van persie will be the guys that count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fccologne-celticfc Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Now as it counts i expect the dutch to bottle it. Or tbh i hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I'll go for another draw here. With Holland winning in Extra Time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Mexico are gonna try and shitfest this one, as well they should. They have a solid backline and they must realise this is their big strength. Will be interesting to see what Holland do if this is what Mexico decide. If Mexico take that tact, I can see them papping Holland out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 The Dutch should cruise this but I'm more excited about seeing the Mexico managers touchline performance. He has been a star thus far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeSAFC Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 It'll be a tough game, the Mexicans are solid but they face a tough test tonight with Robben and RVP. Still rooting for the Mexicans though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmontheloknow Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Am I missing something? Why is this not on STV according to the Sky guide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 8/1 in ladbrokes fancy that myself. 10/1 on Bet365. Mexico are 20/1 to win in extra time. Or you can just bet either team to win in extra time at 6/1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledSaint Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I think that Holland are being overrated. They beat a Spain team who were past there best by using pace to hit on the break, went toe to toe with Australia and only just squeezed past them, then shitfested Chile, adopting 2010 final kicking-lumps-out-the-opposition tactics to wear them down and scoring 2 late breakaway goals. Mexico to win 2-1. ¡Vamos Mexico! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Am I missing something? Why is this not on STV according to the Sky guide? It comes up on Virgin, and on the official STV Tv guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Not sure about this one although Holland should progress (it might take extra-time) Mexico have been decent but they are not too prolific going forward and Holland have enough firepower to grab the goals needed, despite Mexico having a pretty solid defence.

Vasily Zaytsev Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I reckon Mexico are the most resilient side The Netherlands will have faced thus far. It'll be interesting to see how Louis Van Gaal approaches this one. Tactical innovations are imminent I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmontheloknow Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 It comes up on Virgin, and on the official STV Tv guide But it's Midsomer Murders on STV with Sky. Pain in the arse as I'm out and need to record. Will have to record it in blurravision off ITV instead. STV say it's an outdated programme guide Sky are using. Well, it would help if someone had updated it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I'm predicting Mexico, they've impressed me thus far and think they could spring a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Last time the teams met was 2010. Van Persie scored twice in a 2-1 win. Odds on that are 25/1, so I'll stick a quid on that too and hope history repeats itself. Does anyone else find they have to have a nominal amount (or a large amount) of money riding on football, otherwise you lose interest? Is that the start of a gambling addiction or a sign that you're getting bored of football? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
