As expected...fans went wild in the DF...celebrating Mexico's shocking win over Brasil.
In Sao Paulo...the BBC reports a surprisingly casual attitude...almost indifference...to the team's defeat...though many say they want Neymar and coach Menezes replaced.
Apparently...Brasilenos regard the World Cup with more importance.
But bookmakers in Britain...had to painfully pay-off the longshot bettors on Mexico... after goalkeeper Chuy Corona fended-off an aggressive but inept Brasil team...to win the Olympic gold...2-1...in London's Wembley stadium.
Hero Oribe Peralta (above foto) scored 2 goals...heading the all important go-ahead goal.
Another Peralta goal was voided by a technical.
Mexico struck very early...at 29 seconds in...shocking Brasil...and then proceeded to defend against relentless attacks.
Keeper Juan Corona had 2 great saves...against the 5 time world champions.
Brasil finally scored in the fading minute...saving face against Mexico's underdog tricolor team.
Mexico won its first Olympic gold.
Mexico gana oro!
Mexico es dorado!
