Watch Mexico Vs. Croatia Soccer Live Online, 2014 World Cup Streaming Video

Fans can watch the Mexico vs. Croatia soccer match live online and see what is essentially an elimination game in the 2014 World Cup.

Croatia must win the match in order to advance to the round of 16, while Mexico is in need of either a win or a draw to play through. It looks to be an exciting contest as the Croatian team (1-1-0, three points) is looking to keep up the momentum from a 4-0 rout of Cameroon and crack the vaunted defense of El Tri.

That might be quite a difficulty. The Mexican team (1-0-1, four points) has yet to surrender a goal in the 2014 World Cup.

But Croatia is entering the match with plenty of confidence.

Croatian coach Niko Kovac said on Sunday, “If anybody’s knees should be trembling, it should be” those of the Mexican defense.

Fans who watch the Mexico vs. Croatia soccer match live online might want to keep their eyes on Mexican goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, who has been a star of the tournament to date. He stood on his head against Brazil, keeping the highly favored opponents from scoring and almost singlehandedly setting Mexico up to advance through.

“He came up with at least four miracles,” Brazil’s Fred told reporters of Ochoa after the game.

Playing for a team that has scored only two times in the tournament, Ochoa will likely need to be on top of his game again when facing Croatia and Bayern Munich star Mario Mandzukic.

Mexico’s success is part of a resurgence from CONCACAF teams, which Soccerly’s Robert Burns attributes to the effect Major League Soccer has had on the region:

“It’s been said that a rising tide lifts all ships. And while it’s still very early days in the 2014 World Cup, it does not take a massive leap to see that one of the many reasons for CONCACAF’s success so far at the tournament is down to Major League Soccer and its regional impact.”
