Yeah, really wanted to see Mexico out of the cup. The Germans just didn't play well. There was no reason to lose to an inferior Korean team.Germany went from defending champs to last in their group
There is no question that finshing 2nd in this group is an easier path through the knockouts. I'd be stunned to see either team attack much. Yes, resting key players would be a strong possibility in this one as well.England Belgium playing with a seemingly easier road to the final for whichever team loses. I don't think we'll see any London 2012 badminton shenanigans from the players, but possibly some "questionable" personnel decisions by the managers?
I haven't watched a ton of matches this Cup, but it seemed odd...or just irregular... how much the ref let the players play on in the Portugal-Uruguay match.
I mean, the players flop a lot, but there were some real hard tackles and contact with nothing called.
Has that been a theme this cup?
