BRAZIL VS MEXICO MATCH ABOUT TO START: OLYMPICS.

[balo]

Brazil failed to win the easiest Olympic gold medal ever.
Here's how easy their task was.
Firstly, Argentina did not qualify for London 2012. The reason that is significant is because Argentina won the Olympic gold medals at both the 2004 & 2008 Olympics, and there were reports Messi would have played in London.

Secondly, the most feared team in world football (Spain) went out in the first round, clearing the path for Brazil to secure the gold medal.

Thirdly, the African teams underperformed. It is worth pointing out that Since 1996, Africa has won 2 gold medals and reach 3 finals, so without the African teams, Brazil had a clear path to the gold medal..

Furthermore, Great Britain was also knocked out at the quaterfinals. No wonder some Brazilian fans thought it was too easy. It turned out a desperate nation that has never won Olympic gold, failed yet again.
Here's a list of Brazilian superstars that have tried and failed at the Olympics: Romario, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Ronaldinho, Neymar, etc etc etc..

Una don disgrace South America! So just because Argentina did not qualify, South America instantly lost the gold medal.. Chei!!

In short, Nigeria, Cameroon or Argentina did not qualify and Brazil still managed to f-up?


That's just sad.

men.. Neymar is still a BOSS. The guy can ball. Mexico were better organized and played a better team game. Individually, the Brazilians were good.
The Mexican coach had a plan and his players stuck to it. They crowded the 18 and Brazil could do nothing about it.

Whoever says Neymar is not world class has obviously not seen the guy balling for his club.

The stupid Brazilian coach should have played him at number 9 position. Keep him in the 18 Yard box, cause havoc and if he does not score on his own, will cause a penalty. At least that is what I will do in the Second Half. Take out Oscar as well.

Neymar's strength is running at defences YET you say the coach should he kept him in the 18yd box???? In a team with Damiao, Hulk, even Pato...you think it's eymar the coach should have kept in the 18yd? Igugu, you dey seriously fall your hand here today.

Also quit yapping about Oscar, even on his off day, he was still 6/10. Who would they have put in to unlock Mexico? Ganso?

[juventuss]

Brazil kept trying to pass the ball through the defense. Whip a couple of crosses in and the Mexican players would have to open up a bit.

2 questions:

1. define world class

2. Did you see the obese 34 year old Ronaldo destroy the brazillian league?

[GREENWHITEGREEN]

Just got back from celebrating with my Mexican freinds. They sure know how to party !!!

[GREENWHITEGREEN]

Guys it is official football is dead in Brasil, i cant believe these are Brasilian players, football id dead in Brasil o mase o. After all theswe decades of samba football what i see from Brasilian players these days is criminal

Not so fast. Wait till Brazil meets a team from one of those countries, like Africa, where they have permanently brainswash themselves into believeing that players from Brazil, Argentina, Spain etc, have two heads and that it is such a priviledge to even be on the same football field.

[anikulapo]

This Neymar is a bloody joke and an overrated Oaf...And them talk say this dude is worth 60 million

They must mean pesos or Naira, cuz the dude aint shyt....Tufiakwa

Abeg mek una lay off Brazil. To be frank, they were the underdogs in this game. Mexico have won two or three straight youth tournaments, with REAL youngsters before today. Mexico is producing an amazing generation of talented youngsters, helped along by their high quality league. The world will hia wien in Rio come 2014.

[Catalyst]

Great game today by Mexico. Awesome effort. Congrats to them. If only Senegal was disciplined enough, they would have disposed of Mexico.

True but they're being talked up TODAY as world class ballers.

PSG just paid an insane 43 MP for Moura.

Oscar to Chelsea for 25 MP

Neymar being touted at no less than 60 MP.

You have a problem with those number?

I do not know much about Lucas. 60 MP maybe too high for Neymar. But as for Oscar, that is a steal by Chelsea. To me, Chelsea robbed his Brazilian club of a diamond World Class player. Wow. I am just goshing. If his club only waited until after the Olympics, they would have made Chelsea pay wayyyyy more than they paid.

Oscar is a top 5 World Player of the finalist in the making. He is a super amazing talent. Wow, let me stop here before I faint.

[The YeyeMan]

Wow, let me stop here before I faint.

Yes, please stop.

It's nauseating.

[Catalyst]

Wow, let me stop here before I faint.

Yes, please stop.

It's nauseating.

I know.

I even had to go outside and get some oxygen myself.

[General Trousers]

Neymar is overrated ... he should cash out NOW while his value is still HOT.

Totally agree. I've been noticing this team for some time now. This is unlike any Mexican team I have ever seen, especially when it comes to composure and confidence. They are well trained, skilled, fit...and they seem to have that self confidence and belief that is always necessary to win.

I'd be surprised if this team can't do a quarterfinal run in 2014.

By the way, Brazil is not bad at all. This Olympics actually gives me some hope we might see a resurgence of the old Brazilian style. It's been some years, but we saw some glimpses of samba this tournament.

To the rest of you, cut these boys some slack. At the end of the day, this is the Olympics, not senior football competition. The only thing to glean from the Olympics is how a senior team might be augmented later.

Both Brazil and Mexico look very very good. They should give the European guns serious pause. I have a lot of expectations for a South American football reconquista in 2014.



Cheers, Mate

Cant say I was upset when I learned Brazil FAILED today. They had an easy path to the finals and yet still failed at the final hurdle. Like I've been saying for 3 years now, Brazil lacks the talent of previous generations and is not as good as people expect. People think that because they are Brazil it is their birth right to be one of the top 2-3 footballing nations in the world but I'm willing to bet this team right now would struggle to advance past the WC QFs.

This is essentially Brazil's WC 2014 team minus a few key players (Robinho, Ramires, Dani Alves) and yet they still failed miserably in this tournament.

Anyways, unless 2-3 Brazilian attackers start lighting things up in the next 2 years and emerge as true world class players then Brazil will be in a world of hurt in 2014. As of now I foresee Brazil faring as well in 2014 as Germany did in 2006. Germany in 2006 entered the tournament with many questions lingering and doubts about the level of talent they had but were able to come together and use homefield advantage to finish 3rd. Brazil is not very talented, their results under Menezes have not been flattering but playing at home should ensure they make the semis at the very least.

Mexico is a very serious footballing nation. U17 world cup last year..u 20 they did well and now this.

Mexican soccer federation started to take its youth program seriously, putting sufficient funding and thought into how to breed the next generation of stars.

[wale1974]

Denied again!

Like Bigpokey's credit card

[Scipio Africanus]

Denied again!

My belle oh!

[wanaj0]

Nothing special about Mexico.

They just miss opportunity for a second.

Brazilian defenders gone to sleep

Brazil's sentiment excatly.

2 nil to Mexico.

It is more of a testament of how terrible the Brazilian team is. The goal was a FREE header for crying out loud.

Don't even get me started on the first goal.

If those Brazilian players are youfrom Gambia, no one will hear about them. Overhyped players.

Congrats to Mexico.

Between has CONCACAAF now overtaken Europe in football?

...world class at flopping when tackled. At his club/league the brazilian refs love him, let him come to europe and play vs rugby styled players especially at epl, or the rough and tumble italian bone breakers. In german league the giant defenders there will keep him on the grass all 90mins. The only place he can survive is spain, but not madrid or barca.

[Mudi E]

If Marcelo was your best player (a full back) in the first half and Hulk in the 2nd half, you know Brazil had major issues. Neymar is all flicks and tricks without substance...and that Manchester United right full back is the worst player I have seen in a while..his bone headed play led to that goal in the 28th seconds of the match.
