I think we all agree it should have been 4-0, so we'll take that as the official GPL score, yes?

3rd? How the eff did I manage that? It'll never last...
You had a run of 3 Correct Scores out of 4 matches, and you had a joker applied to one of them.
Incredible run.

And when you realise you have the same predictions as Gonzo for those matches...

Any particular reason ?
I remember finding Seedorf a very good pundit and Billic gave us a very honest and funny line that I saw on twitter.
For me, the foreign pundits are the only ones who know what they are talking about.

I was impressed by the Swiss!
After a bad start they got themselves sorted and never really looked troubled.

Joker card? @Gonzo79

Well, from those latter two games, only one player gained points. Incredibly, Franc Ergs gained 3 points for the Correct Score in the Brazil-Switzerland game.

The Germans were relatively poor IMO.
They had a lot of the ball but didn't really look like penetrating at any stage.
Mexico wanted it more and gt what they deserved.
They weren't great, but I think they were made to look poor by a Mexico side that (a) wanted it more, as you said, and (b) were tactically superior.
Germany did what they always do -- at least recently -- which works: possession-football, high-fullbacks, fluid front 3/4 looking to run in-behind.
Mexico nullified them tactically: outnumbered them by switching between a back-3 and back-4. Kroos, Ozil and Muller were marked out the game, and their runners in-behind were covered with their back-3.
They were also really brave in the counter, leaving 2/3 players up the field -- especially for corners!

Why is Wallace not traveling? Is it due to his appeal?
I read somewhere that it was a fitness issue? Not sure, though.

Like I wrote elsewhere, Mexico are a very impressive side, tactically.
Their fluidity is brilliant to see, switching from 4-3-3 to 3-4-3, to 3-3-1-3.
They got it spot-on today.
Germany weren't bad, albeit they were slow, but Mexico had them sussed tactically; they just couldn't play.

Germany-Mexico up next!
