All kinds of yellow cards being handed out.

Horrible officiating for me. Mexico were terrible in defending. They did have more possession as expected but a quality forward would of had a hat trick against them.

 

[Stout]

Wood really choked in that game. Should have scored 3 or 4 times and put Mexico away.

Germany was leading through Kerem Demirbay's 48th-minute strike when a case of mistaken identity halfway through the second half that replays were meant to eradicate left the African champions bemused and irritated.

Sebastien Siani was dismissed for a foul challenge on Emre Can after referee Wilmar Roldan inspected a pitch-side monitor.

It took furious protests from the Cameroon players, including Siani sarcastically applauding Roldan, for the Colombian to check the monitor again and discover he had sent off the wrong player. Siani was called back on and Ernest Mabouka was correctly sent off.

"The referee did not give any explanation," Cameroon coach Hugo Broos said through a translator. "It's a foul, fair enough but both players had their legs high up to reach the ball. I don't understand why only my player received a red card."

Chile feels the fatigue from its all-out play in Confed Cup
MOSCOW (AP) — Known as one of the hardest-working squads in the world, Chile is starting to feel the wear and tear of its all-out style in the Confederations Cup.

And things won't get any easier for the South American champions when they face Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal in the semifinals.

Chile secured its semifinal berth with a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Australia on Sunday, and the team will have only two days of rest before facing Portugal on Wednesday in Kazan. The European champions played its last group stage match on Saturday, a breezy 4-0 win over New Zealand in which Ronaldo was substituted with more than 20 minutes left.

Mexico faces Germany in the other semi in Sochi on Thursday.
