Come on guys, you can't fully expect something based on 1 or 2 matches. As many coaches already said, there's some parity between the teams that survived the tournament. For example, Mexico would have eliminated Netherlands if the coach wasn't so stupid, and we all know they are miles ahead of Mexico in terms of quality. Things like that show that every single match is a war, the teams do all they can, so anyone can win. There is no super team or something in this world cup, we need to face it.

Why was the coach stupid?

He took of Dos Santos, by far the best Mexican player, in the 61st(!) minute. That was the moment the Mexican offense collapsed.
