World Cup 2014 Open Thread: Day 6

Brazil are back in action today, taking on Mexico in a match that could test the tournament hosts who got off to a shaky start in their first match. Mexico, meanwhile, remain the somewhat mercurial side that are capable of scoring or imploding at any given time and should make for an entertaining match, one way or another.
