    The tables have turned in this match. Brazil looks energetic. Mexico looks drained and on their heels.

    Ochoa is going to have to keep them in this game.

    What is it with the Mexican players not passing when countering?

    That's not the test, though. It is whether the handling was deliberate, which has to do with distance to the ball, direction the ball is moving (hand to ball v ball to hand), and that infernal "unnatural position" business. It doesn't matter whether it has effect on the play.

    This is the most pragmatic Brazil since 1994.

    thanks, I'm aware. Did the player gain an advantage in doing is part of the 'deliberate.' As much as I wanted it to be a handling, in Salcido's case, it wasn't

    Second attack in the last few minutes that Vela has not passed to a better positioned player. He's killing the Mexico attack.

    Yeah, its a shame that that yellow team has no depth.

    Yeah, he's not one of the players you want to lose.

    Who would play for Casemiro? Fernandinho?
    He is not that bad.
