Rotten luck for the poor old mexicans.The post was a mere 3 minutes away when they got pipped.Giovani Dos Santos gave them the lead in the 48th minute.Brilliant goal. They held on to that lead till 3 minutes from time.Wesley Sneijder then scored the equaliser.The mexicans conceded a penalty during injury time and that was it.The expression on Ochoa’s face says it all. Not a penalty.Not with 90 seconds left in the game.Not now.
Mexico out.
All praise for Louis van Gaal’s tactical acumen.
That sloshing noise you can hear is Man Utd fans slavering in anticipation.!
And the sad sound.That’s from Mexico.The sound of broken hearts.They came so close.
This is the 6th consecutive World Cup that they have been eliminated in the round of 16.That’s 24 years of heartbreak.
According to me the fortune was with Netherlands, because in the whole game almost till the end, game was well under control for Mexico, but a sudden move by Sneijder makes them worried and after that nothing goes in Mexico’s way.
