The same place? South Korea v Mexico

[Diable Rouge]

The first thing of significance Chicharito has done in the last 12 months.

[Pietro Paolo Virdis]

Best and worst fans in the world cup so far, Mexico.

[Jah Womble]

Thought Mexico might have to walk it in again. Their thirty-yarders haven't come close to troubling opposition 'keepers thus far.

[Sean of the Shed]

South Korea have been making shitty tackles all game.

[Incandenza]

Disastrous pass from Rafa

I think this is the best national cuisine matchup we’ve had so far

Ochoa should have maybe not played it to him in the first place either. Other than that he's been the best keeper in the tournament up until now.

[Diable Rouge]

So, as things stand, Mexico would only be eliminated if they lost 2-0 to Sweden, even if Germany win both their matches.

It is also yet another reason why that Los Angeles vs San Diego "debate" is a joke

[Cal Alamein]

SON of a bitch!

[Gangster Octopus]

Bloody hell...

[Sean of the Shed]

Wow.

[Incandenza]

Oh no

[Jah Womble]

Classic Sonny finish.

Probably counts for zip, however.

[Diable Rouge]

But Son's goal suddenly reduces that to a current one-goal cushion.

[Incandenza]

Phew

[Gangster Octopus]

If Germany win, South Korea still have a chance.

I've never eaten Korean. What sort of stuff does it involve?

Oh, LA's Mexican food isn't *that* bad. etc... etc...

Fox's commentary team was an interesting change, using (I assume) regular Mexican commentators. It started off charming, but it turns out that massively biased commentary is annoying even when it's not done by the English.

[ursus arctos]

As always, Telemundo is better

[San Bernardhinault]

As I always say, I'd be watching Telemundo if I spoke Mexican. But I only speak American.

[ursus arctos]

I never understand why people prefer awful commentary they comprehend to better commentary that they might struggle with for a while.

[Incandenza]

Fox going with Navarro and Trujillo was interesting. I thought Trujillo was very good, Navarro was a little too annoying with having to say the nicknames, then "aka [English translation]" every time. But I really liked that they basically ignored "Dr. Joe Machnik" for the entire game, they only asked him about the call for the penalty against Korea.

Korean BBQ (in ursus' photo) is the most popular and easily accessible meal. Grill your meat on a grill in your table, and you get lots of little side dishes (banchan) to complement it. The most famous side is kimchi, basically spicy fermented cabbage (think of it as Korean sauerkraut).
