I am hearing a lot of excuses from Brasil fans and some Mexico skeptics.<BR/><BR/>Clearly, Brasil had the stronger squad on paper and in raw talent and skill. <BR/><BR/>Example: I can't think of a player other than Marquez, Castillo, injured Guardado that would start for Brasil. The unproven "B" guys for Mexico really had heck of a game. They deserve to start again.<BR/><BR/>BBSC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561489188679737.post-26706275426074511582007-06-28T15:30:00.000-07:002007-06-28T15:30:00.000-07:00as with any group stage games, you rarely know wha...as with any group stage games, you rarely know what they mean until the elimination games begin. meaning, how many of us thought the czech thumping of the US in the first game of the WC indicated the czech's were on their way to the finals, only to find it was their best performance against our worst.<BR/><BR/>point i am making is, we will not know if brazil is that bad or mexico is that good until we see how mexico fares against chile and ecuador.<BR/><BR/>either way, congrats to mexico for beating brazil. victories for brazil (on a neutral field) are always few and far between.<BR/>DMHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
