    Michael Scarn: Mexico may be the new World Cup darlings, but they don't half love a bit of diving and simulation.

    South Korea 0-2 Mexico

    To say they teach discipline in South Korea, their footballers are anything but.

    A really unpleasant bunch.

    They have conceded 20 fouls in this match and collected four yellow cards.

    Si: No one can fault South Korea for spirit, strength and athleticism but in instinct, technique and tactics they’re behind.

    Neil: South Korea are just a band of hacks. They are pretty dirty players.

    Gregory Mandapat: As a Yank, I should not be rooting for Mexico. However, these are some weird times we are living in. Politics and rivalries be damned. Vamos El Tri!

    South Korea 0-2 Mexico

    What is he doing??

    Rafael Marquez gives the ball away inside his own box to South Korea striker Son Heung-min, as his backpass towards Guillermo Ochoa falls short.

    But the ex-Barca man redeems himself by tracking back and nicking the ball off the Tottenham player before he can get a shot away.

    Alice Stainer: I think Mexico are my new favourite team. They seem to have a freedom and joy in their play that few other teams possess, not to mention their wonderfully exuberant fans.

    Daniel Haddon: Never got why Man United sold Hernandez.

    Former Tottenham manager on BBC Radio 5 live

    Terrific goal. A fast break, we know they are adept at that. Korea throwing men forward trying to get the elusive goal.

    Hernandez doesn't hit it that cleanly, but does well to cut inside and sit the Korea keeper down.

    I think it is beyond Korea, they will go home empty-handed.
