Actually, H2H stats are: Sweden: 4 wins Mexico: 2 wins Draws: 3 times Mexico made the R16 phase seven straight WC. And their best result are a couple of QFs. All of those H2H games were friendly matches except the 3-0 victory by Sweden in 1958 WC. Since 1990, it is 1-1-1 for both teams. Most of the Mexico and Sweden encounters happened before 1985. Not much recent data to compare each teams. I agree. We have to play first.
World Cup in Europe . I think Germany tops the group , Sweden will come second they are a tough side.
No one here, and last of all the German fans, ever suggested that Germany is "invincible". That's merely your straw man argument in order to enter this thread and put your inferiority complex regarding the German team on display. Nobody here cares about Argentina or how you guys feel about yet another lost World Cup final against a DFB squad. Cry to those among your compatriots who listen but don't expect German fans to have any interest in your sore loser BS. One more thing. Where exactly does calling Germany "overrated" put Argentina, including Messi? Was I arrogant? Sure. It's usually not my style but I can pay back in the same coin if I have to. And unlike you, I actually have a case.
Argentina is really delusional and their fans . They think it's the 1970s and 80s and fail to realize they've been irrelevant since and Messi is more Catalan than argentine. Germany is top Fav in this world cup. Even Portugal has been better than Argentina the last 20 years . Argentina loves on the past of bribed 1978 world cup and maradona. Difference is maradona had balls and Messi doesn't . Messi is a Catalan more than argentine. Best national teams past 20 years (modern history) Brazil Germany France Spain and Portugal. If there's a 6th it's Italy but they aren't in the tournament so Portugal takes their spot. One of them Will win the WC. The rest of no chance and that includes Argentina who will get owned by Iceland and Croatia .
Terrible analysis. How can people write such nonsense. Sounds like you just have something against Mexico. Mexico has always gotten out of the group stage since 86 no matter what's thrown at them. They have beaten teams like France, Croatia and tied teams like Netherlands and Italy at group stages. Where they struggle is the R16, where besides 2002, they were knocked out buy good traditional teams such as Germany, Argentina, and Netherlands (where they only lost to a diving Robben PK).
Nailed it. Iranians in Bigsoccer have a chip on their shoulder from the 2006 World Cup, when they talked a lot of trash and then had to eat crow after they lost against the better team.
Korean National Team's records against other teams in Group F vs. Germany (3 Matches 1 Win 2 Losses) vs. Mexico (12 Matches 4 Wins 2 Draws 6 Losses) vs. Sweden (4 Matches 0 Win 2 Draws 2 Losses) Hmm....We've fought against Mexico a lot...
I agree the wankage of Germany is sickening. We get it they are good, possibly the best team in the World but we will see how the World Cup goes.
Voted for Germany/Sweden but I'm not much confident tbh. It will be a tough battle with Mexico about that second spot.

I think with the changing environment of the World Football that the compeitition in Europe won't hold that much weight anymore.
I hope Sweden makes it out but I think we are out of our streak. We did well against Holland, France and Italy but I doubt this trend will continue into the WC so I cast my vote on Germany and Mexico.
Also keep in mind Italy and Netherlands are not good teams at the moment. France is better but the win was a really lucky goal at the last min.
You missed the core of his statement they always qualified from ConCrap which isn't a challenge at all then it is the constant experience they gain over the years at the world cup (copa america too) that made a massive difference in the last 20 years for them, before they are really not better than top asian teams Iran, South Korea or what have you. But I agree they are the best national team outside europe and south america in current era.
Just like Argentina vs Germany, Mexico is a constant, Mexico will make it out of the group and then lose to Brazil in the round of 16. You can set your watch to that.
Korea and Mexico Advance Mexico 7 Korea 4 Sweden 3 Germany 2 Germany goes home with 2 points they draw Mexico 1-1 and draw Korea 3-3 Then they loose to Sweden 1-0.
