Just finished watching Brazil/Mexico. Very intense match.

As for Brazil vs Mexico, now THAT was an exciting 0-0 match. 
I just read about an interesting study on cheating in the World Cup called Cheating The Beautiful Game. Better than the article, was the companion video at the top of the page. In the video, there is footage of what's now referred to as The Battle Of Santiago, a 1962 World Cup match between Chile and Italy. That one really got out of hand.  |
That's what I was thinking. Maybe one of the best 0-0 games I've ever watched
Mexico's Ochoa was on fire.
