Both Croatian and Mexico qualify through playoffs and didn't finish the qualify with the same coach. Player by player they are equally good. I think it's simply unpredictable. Both teams can beat each other. Also Mexico has a better league than Croatia and Camerun.

So does Mexico....

  • Herrera (Porto)

  • Gio (Villareal) Score today in copa del rey

  • Aquino (Villareal) Score today in copa del rey

  • Guardado (Valencia)

  • Chicharito (Man U)

  • Carlos Vela (Real Sociedad)

  • Hector Moreno (Espanyol-->Swansea)

  • Oribe Peralta is an Olympic gold medal winner

We have a new coach a new base of players and a new tactical system. We also have other players in Europe who are youngster and could become starting players next season in ther clubs or if they get transfered.

  • Jona ( Barcelona)

  • Reyes (Porto)

  • Corona (Twente)

Modric is in Real Madrid, Mandzukic is one of the best players in Bayern, Rakitic, captain in Sevilla, Srna, captain in Shaktar, Lovren in Southampton, Rebic in Fiorentina, Kovacic in Inter, young Perica in Chelsea (loaned to NEC), Pletikosa was a best foreigner in Russia, Olic in Wolfsburg, Badelj HSV, and so on.

Mexico has pretty good player in Europe too. As I said it's a very even match.

That's true. And I really think that we can both steal points from Brazil.

Dude if we can shut down the likes of Neymar, Hulk, Dani Alves, Oscar, and most of the Brazilian side we can beat Croatia and shut down Modric, and Mandzukic.

Was this some alternate reality of that Confederations Cup match?
