Don't defeat yourself -Soccer

Mexico and the Netherland.

The game looked like a sure Mexico victory heading into the final minutes. In the first half, Mexico had most of the better chances and was looking threatening from outside the box and on the counterattack.

In the second half, Mexico opened the scoring with a beautiful strike from outside the box to lead 1-0. Then a decision is made to make sure to defend this goal by all means.

That opened the door for the Netherland to continue to attack and Mexico defends. Mexico succeeded to be ahead till few inutes before the end. The Netherlands scored twice in the final eight minutes to go from being sent home to advancing to the quarterfinals. What a turn of events. It is all in your strategy.

Just a thought.
