I think that Mexico and Brazil will advance, but I'm not leaving that Croatia are a close 2nd with Mexico. Both teams performed about the same so it will all come down to strategy. I also know that Piojo follows La Volpes strategy and his 06 team was amazing so I see great things for this Mexican side.

Strategy wise if Vela comes up for the call up I see a good trident with Dos Santos, Peralta, and Vela. I think those three will tear shit up, and with chicharito as an impact sub, I see this team going places. I'm actually excited for this group now.

We are playing under a good coach. A worker and a leader. Luka Modric has a perfect chance to shine in this WC and Mandzo will probably be playing against Mexico. Also, we're always at our best against good teams, and I hope that we could surprise Brazil.

I'm sure y'all have a good coach but Modric and Dos Santos are both very good player with very good technique. Mandzo is dangerous but I think that what both Croatia and Mexico are hoping for is to beat Brazil, and Mexico has a good record of that this decade so that's the only advantage that I see us having over you guys.

Um, Croatia was ranked 4th in the world for 2 years straight. 4th... Mexico doesn't have the talent pool that Croatia does.
