Supporters of the present world cup football champions Brazil are desperately waiting for the final against Mexico, where Brazil is favorite for gold. Brazil's 3-0 victory against the South Koreans secured their place in the final stage of the men's Olympics football tournament. With no doubt, it will be an offensive frenzy for both teams and their fans since Brazil and Mexico have both scored at least 3 goals in the quarter and semi finals.

Although both teams have been unbeaten in their five consecutive matches during the Olympics tournament, if Mexico wins over Brazil it will be a big upset. In any case, the performance of Brazil in the London Olympics is better than that of the Beijing Olympics 2008, when they could only secure a bronze medal. Should Brazil not win, their fans will certainly go into shock as Brazil has been favorite for the gold medal since the start of the Olympics tournament. They have never won a gold medal in the history of the Olympics despite having won the World Cup Football tournament more than any other country.

A Mexican victory will also be a big upset considering too that their last best performance in the Olympics came in 1968 when they could only secure a bronze medal. It is the first time since then that they have secured a medal for their country regardless of whether they win or lose in the finals. The 3-0 victory of Brazil against South Korea in the semi finals has certainly raised the eyebrows of all Mexican players.

Can Brazil repeat the same performance in the finals again? Nobody knows the correct answer but we are all watching and waiting for the last match of the men's Olympic tournament 2012.
