But I don't think that this will be the case. In fact, I think the last match between Russia and Mexico will be a real war on the pitch!
Srill a better love story than Twilight.

About the game itself, if Wood was a good player New Zealand would have won 4:2 easy but he missed alot of clear chances.
You don't push players to hurt them like that, the player was hurt and Wood didn't care to get the ball and try to score and later asking what's wrong when he clearly hurt the player.
Mexico had 2 fouls by pulling the shirt of 2 players but still New Zealand player wanted to hurt and should have got the red card for that first and foremost.
As I said New Zealand players use their hands too much like they are playing rugby and they tried to hurt Herrera with both feet and started a brawl.
Mexico won I only care that New Zealand players think about what they are doing because nobody wants to get injured, I understand that they don't like to lose but that doesn't mean they should hurt someone.
Like I said before, Mexican player also went in studs up with both feet after.
They play physical but they don't cross the line. I didnt see any tackles that could cause an injury, lots of small fouls yes.
Also the referee was not good enough for this level of football.
New Zealand posession 35% Mexico 65%, if New Zealand doesn't commit fouls they don't get to touch the ball, Mexico 22 shots in total, 11 on target. Mexico deserved the win.
