The only problem I have with that second yellow is that they actually had to look at it and talk about it.

The ref got it right. Just don't know why it took so long. That was flagrant and obvious.

Germany can still score, they will just be more prone to giving up a counter. If they don't play for the win, they are looking at a very difficult scenario to advance in the last game

Maybe since they knew if they called for a yellow card that he was done?

Wow.. the #1 team in the world can be knocked out.. (if Sweden score w/ the advantage in the next 10mins ) Additionally, Argentina is out. This is a crazy world cup.

They need a Mexico win along with their own victory over South Korea.

And if recent history is any indicator, relying on Mexico to win to help you get through is a fool's errand.

Might have also been checking his log to make sure the player already had a yellow before issuing the red as a follow up

Yep, you basically need to murder someone to get sent off. They really seem to ignoring a lot of cardable fouls.

Mexico 1-0 over Sweden and Germany 2-0 over South Korea would do the trick.

Biggest problem is that Mexico doesn't care about a win vs. a draw in that scenario.

I'm pretty sure the AR helped him on the call. I don't think he had a good view.

Argentina isn't out. They actually have a pretty good chance of going through if they can beat Nigeria. As lousy as they've been playing, however, that's far from certain.

What's the deal with Germany taking short corners? It has not worked at all the entire game yet they keep them going...

It's not even to get a much different angle like you normally see, they are playing it back out to within 10 yards of the corner. Maybe the thought is to get the defense sucking out and catch them shifting and lose their marks?

I wouldn't be half surprised if Mexico is on the phone with Sweden already.

I'm really not sure. Even when they play it outside, they pull it back and try to bring it back up the center. Sweden stacks the box and play dies. They've had so many chances for early crosses but havent taken advantage of them....

It's good news for Germany that the Group E games will be contested after Mexico-Sweden. If Brazil somehow finishes 2nd in the group, Mexico will lose on purpose.
