What do you think - easy win for Mexico? Or will Angola keep it close, like they did against Portugal?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I think it will be 2:1 for Angola :P
 
we are finding out right now :) (it will be tight)
 
I'm guessing that both sides want to win, but both really don't want to loose.
 
Mexico sent the ball to the post in the last minutes, but at the end, the Sable Antelopes grab their first point ever in a WC
 
Oh boy... I was so close... :-)

I guess that would be a good guess :-p
 
Good effort from both sides. Too many half chances tho, and not many
clear chances. Both sides also lack finishing.
 
I can't believe I sat through the night watching this match. It was frustrating and finally ended in a goal-less draw. :mad:
