Mexico v. Portugal

* futbol ole @ 07:56

I'm liveblogging this, and I'm getting all weepy listening to the Mexican anthem. Just listening to the crowd it's obvious that this match is going to be massive. It's important to Mexico because it determines whether the team advances, so a draw or a win is good.

Gah! That sucks!! Minute 5 Portugal scores. Come on Mexico. Keep attacking. That was an awesome goal though.

update: 2-1 In favor of Portugal, but this match does not let up. The Mexican goal really raised the team's spirits. Here's hoping it can translate into something more by the time the second half starts.

I did a quick call to a few family members. Frustration. Call back. It was hysterical. What can I say, we're devoted. Anyway, second half is starting.

update 2: Penalty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Idiota la fallo!! Ahi estaba el maldito empate y lo fallo. Gah!! Obviously, Portugal is still winning.

last: Portugal wins 2-1. Now comes the waiting game. Angola is winning their game, though the announcer just came on and that game just finished in a tie. Mexico is in the second round! Thank goodness, or maybe not. They may be playing against Argentina. Crap!
