How would you define a goal scoring chance? If you look at shots, 25-12 in Germany's favor. Now I only watched the 2nd half, and Germany had lots of chances there, while I only saw a few dangerous counter attacks from MexicoBrullnux said:Not at all. In terms of chances created, Mexico had a lot more. Germany were terrible.Cance > TheRest said:Speaking of an undeserved win...Brullnux said:They still had two or three other clear cut chances that schmeichel saved or they missed.Alexandre B. said:Penalties immensely help for xGoals.Brullnux said:Peru vs Denmark was excellent too. Rarely do you see a team win 1-0 whilst conceding a penalty, so many chances and just generally being second best for about 75 minutes. I don't like saying wins are undeserved, but I think that one was. Peru tore them apart but just somehow couldn't score, with a mixture of Schmeichel and bad finishing - apparently their xGoals were 1.7.
Germany lose!

Well, Germany had the best chance even before Mexico scored... In the 20th minute, Werner failed to spot Draxler right in front of him who could have easily scored provided he'd have kept his nerve. Anyway, Plattenhardt was basically non-existent on the left, Kimmich was playing very aggressively on the right, opening up all kinds of space for Mexico on the counter attack. You really don't want to end up with Özil having to defend 1v1 in the box. The main reason for the 1-0 though was the overly ambitious and unnecessary attempt by Hummels to win the ball back early in midfield, IMO.Brullnux said:Not at all.

But England should have won the game in the first 45 minutes.
Probably a typo, but Argentina didn't score.Laplaz said:Croatia-Argentina 3-1. Pathetic match by the Seleccion and pathetic Sampaoli. Croatia deserved to win today and now they will probably face Denmark in the next round, so a good chance to reach the quarter finals.
not if the Danes lose to France and Australia beat peru 2-0... down to goal difference, it will beLaplaz said:Croatia-Argentina 3-1. Pathetic match by the Seleccion and pathetic Sampaoli.
