Am I the only one who found the Fox Sports’ commentary in the Mexico- South Korea match completely biased and useless?
I had had to switch off the audio, it was so irritating.

SK still in it though; they'll go through if they beat Germany by +2 goals & mexico do the same vs Sweden. Two big ifs, but still! ( i think fair play may also come into play depending on the number of goals scored in both games).

A shame about South Korea; they do some amazing footwork and are a real threat in front of the net. The problem is they looked so deflated, save for a few great moments, once Mexico scored. If they had equalized with that goal instead of it being 2-0 before they scored, it might have motivated them more. Mexico had some great shots, too. And good on them. At least SK got that last goal in there (and a great one)... I think it'll send them home feeling a LOT better than if it had been a scoreless Cup for them (and the final game doesn't matter so much).
Just wish Asia had better representation -- meaning more teams on the whole (deserved, not given, like it will be to China in the next WC).
