Many American and Canadian Mexico real estate owners begin to take a certain pride in Mexico’s accomplishments, and soccer – Mexico’s most loved sport – can be one of those things; on Tuesday, Mexico’s Olympic soccer team defeated Japan to move on to the finals for the gold medal! Today, Mexico will face Brazil. They are now guaranteed at least a silver, but let’s hope hope they get the gold!
Here’s part of the article from Huffington Post:
WEMBLEY, England — Oribe Peralta scored with a swerving long-range strike, then set up another goal with a stunning back-heel to help Mexico beat Japan 3-1 on Tuesday and secure a spot in the final of the men’s Olympic soccer tournament.
Mexico will play Saturday against Brazil, which beat South Korea 3-0 in the other semifinal.
“We are guaranteed a silver, but we want a gold,” Mexico coach Fernando Luis Tena said. “Mexico is a football nation. They must be partying tonight.”
Mexico’s previous best showing at the Olympics was at the 1968 Mexico City Games, when the team was beaten in the bronze-medal match 2-0 by Japan, also that nation’s best finish.
