If Sweden somehow defeated Mexico, Germany defeats South Korea, there are scenarios where Mexico might not advance.

You would think after today, Mexico and Germany would already be going through but it’s not all done yet. They probably will but the above link discusses it pretty fully. Even South Korea still has an outside chance.

I think Sweden matches up pretty well with Mexico. Germany just couldn’t put the ball in net in the first two matches. Tony Kroos scores one of the most important goals in the history of the World Cup. Germany being eliminated in pool play would have been the biggest upset in pool play history.

So far, the best two players are Ronaldo for Portugal and Luka Modric for Croatia.

I’m fairly sure that Real Madrid could defeat any of the National teams at the World Cup.

Officiating has been horrible. Lots of favoritism and blatant penalties ignored.

Sweden had the chance to Kill the King, and they didn’t do it.

I felt if the game ended it a tie, Sweden and Mexico would have do an “agreement”, kind of like Austria and West Germany did in 1982.
