Win or go home for Croatia. Draw at worst for Mexico and they're through.

Commentators aren't in stadium are they? Sounds like they are doing it from the UK.

They're not in the stadium. Why does it sound like it's from the UK?

Talking about itv, if they have bothered to go to Brazil don't you think they might go into the ground. Itv being UK company, its a reasonable assumption they are in the UK

The best thing about this match is that RTÉ put Peter Collins commentating on the other match.

Croatia never looked like they were playing to win this match. They looked like they were playing for a draw, which would only have got them out of the group if Cameroon had narrowly beaten Brazil.

Not sure if they were lacking pace, direction or commitment but Croatia never had a man running onto a single cross all night.

He was the highlight, everyone on the pub was laughing at him the whole game, something about him is so entertaining/hilarious.

They defo deserved to qualify, hope they get through to the quarters at least

The Mexican coach would make a great police chief on an NBC buddy cop comedy show, especially if his character didn't speak a word of English, or even try.

The Croates were dissing the Mexicans with use of the word "Puto" (homosexual/man whore) according to Spanish speakers on the guardian.

You could clearly see them doing it at the end. Marquez was just grinning back at the Croat guy trying to wind him up with it. The Mexican crowd themselves all roar it every time the keeper takes a kick out.

I contacted UPC today asking why ITV was blocked for match last night and they tried to get rid of me by saying that ''ITV4 do not have the rights to broadcast in Ireland''. When I then replied saying that their response was not acceptable as match clearly broadcast on ITV 4 on Sky network, they did not come back. UPC customer service is terrible and this is really annoying as now do not have option to watch matches on ITV4. UPC clearly state that ITV4 is part of their package with no note on restrictions then it should be broadcast.

I don't have UPC but as a rule a game on ITV4 is also on AN other UPC channel - often Setanta, so why this is an issue is weird. I bet someone on the cable forum

No, it's definitely 'puto' and it has a huge number of meanings.

Puto / puta, depending on whether it's directed at a male or female.

Scrap the cap!

They are saying "Puto". I asked a Mexican last night during the game.
