Being privilege enough to tickets to the 'Men's Gold Medal Match' we were anticipating a entertaining and high standard of football....and expected Brazil to beat Mexico!!! So we enlisted a brazilian to join us and borrowed a brazilian flag and shirt as paraphernalia for the game........
The atmosphere was great....and the fans were passionate.....the stadium were full and the game started!!! But 2 minutes into the game....disaster....Mexico scored and that signalled the end of Brazil's dream of winning their first 'gold medal' for football in the olympics........Mexico were better on the day and made good use of the ball when they had the possession.....in the end the score ended 2-1 in Mexico's favour....
We saw the medal ceremony which also include the Koreans (who received a bronze for beating Japan).
And then all made our way home....on the London tube......in fact most people were and thus this made it a long slow process!!!
