[Gold Cup] fails the penaltifobia Mexico

Mexico qualified for the Gold Cup final win over selection in criminal tica. You can write a lot about the game, but only elaborate on some details. My respects to Costa Rica, which has been a worthy match. Kenton has raised an exemplary game and almost left them. Subjugated the Aztec team for much of the game and luck was not accompanied them to the front. Celso Borges is a lot of player category, ten disguised containment. One of World Cup tickets should be endorsed for the Ticos.

Aztec on the selection, I must admit I'm angry. Not for illegal gambling in Mexico, but for the strange air of triumphalism mixed with fate in the environment. The Mexican team has a poor history with the criminal, epitomized by that fateful round against Bulgaria in the second round at the World Cup USA 1994. From this would emerge in the collective imagination the curse of the eleven steps.

Yesterday I went to my Twitter account and I saw an avalanche of references pessimistic about the prisons. Five minutes later, when Vela scored the fifth seed and Mexico got your pass, everything was rosy. This morning I read front pages of newspapers, blog entries, news headlines dazzled because now they earned from the point of punishment. As if success in stroke ultimately erased from the other 120 minutes, in which Costa Rica proved to be better on the court, be a team more organized and demonstrated the shortcomings of the Tri.

Mexico won on penalty kicks, but failed his penaltifobia. Because that not only is within the players but also tattooed on the fans and the press. Because the ghosts away is better than a far-distant past that the good performance of the present. "So he knows more victory," said Carlos Vela to finish the game. What a sad selection, which enjoys licking their wounds perennial old trauma. But sadder environment that will allow it. "
