I'm up but more to see the byelection result come in - just have a feeling it's going to have more bearing on my life than who wins out of Mexico or Korea 

Not worthy of a new page - so edited out.

This game has bored me after that Canada game.

 

I'm out.

 

Later lads!

What are South Korea doing? They seem to be randomly hoofing the ball everywhere..

[MC Prussian]

Not sure whether the audience is booing because of South Korea or their own national team.

 

Probably both.

[Dan]

Yeah I'm binning this. Neither team trying.

Problem with these altitude games - don't need to overexert otherwise you'll fade. Mexico have the harder game left on paper, but Austria haven't been training in altitude so should burn out early in that match. Korea planned their training camp specifically for this fixture, altitude in Salt Lake, pre-tournament they spent alot of time in Mexico preparing. Either of these two should be looking to win this group as they're better acclimatised than any, but it could come down to goal advantage considering this show.

I guess we're still due a drab 0-0 draw, right?   

 

EDIT: Yes, still due one, because this isn't it

Good win for Canada. There will always be a downside (look at Leicester's PL title)

Has our beautiful game become a less exciting version of Basketball... nothing prior to the last 15 minutes really matters.

Hilarious attempt at a header
