Goal scoring machine Lewandowski to get his first WC goal? Hope we have an exciting and thrilling game!

Poland almost conceded in opening minutes...it seems Mexican fans are booing Lewandowski. Hope he can shut them with a goal.

Watching it “live” in UHD on BBC iplayer. The action is 50 seconds behind the the Freeview HD broadcast!
Good quality picture, but “live” my arse!

Mexico always finds a way to advance from the group stage. At least that's been the case in the seven World Cups since 1994.

I’ve always considered Mexico as the most boring international football team ever, but they’re the better team here.

No team has played as many world cup finals matches without ever reaching a final.

Interesting statistic. Not surprising; they are in fifth place in the number of World Cup appearances with 17, behind Brazil (22), Germany(20), Italy and Argentina (18 each) and ahead of France, England and Spain (all with 16).

We lost the game but Aldo's goal got us through. We then went out against Bergkamps Holland(as we used to call them back then) Forget who Mexico went out against. Those were the weird days when 3 teams could get out of each group, Italy were the 3rd team to get out.

I looked away and missed the pen. When are the turds going to show a replay?

Pien Meulensteen is probably the best of the female commentators. Mind you the competition isn’t up to much.
Feel sorry for her having to carry Martin Keown.

I'd love to see Poland do well. There's a lot of local support for Poland here.

Lewandowski has not had a good game so far. He will be very disappointed. Would have loved to see Poland win. But only injury time remaining now.

There's a lo of Poles here, like the Irish in Boston or the Germans in Milwaukee. Lots of Russians also. Most of the people here have last names ending in "sky". Probably the only city in the US where Dyngus Day is a thing. Polish holiday, the Monday after Easter. Kind of like St. Patrick's Day.
