Ok, so earlier in this match I compared Chicharito to Darren Bent. I thought I might have been being unfair. Turns out that I was, although apparently it was towards Darren Bent, because Chicharito has just wasted an absolutely glorious chance to put Mexico 2-0 up over Brazil and wrap this thing up. However, he completely fails to get anything on his header and the ball goes straight to Jefferson, whose saved is praised as brilliant despite him doing pretty much nothing there except existing.
Mexico Vs. Brazil, 2011 International Friendly: Ronaldinho Screamer Makes It 1-1
A few minutes later, Neymar’s leg is once again caught at full speed. Once again he’s accused of diving by an announcer whom I would happily skin and turn into a book. And, finally, Ronaldinho makes Mexico pay, scorching the resultant free kick over the wall past an unsighted Oswaldo Sanchez and into the top corner. That’s an absolutely brilliant goal - it’s a pleasure to still have the old chipmunk around. So we’re back to level pegging at 1-1, although El Tri will fancy their chances to get a goal in the final ten minutes, what with the man advantage and all.
