¡Campeones Olímpicos! Mexico Defeats Favored Brazil to Win Gold in London

Oribe Peralta scored in the first minute and the 75th minute to lead Mexico to one of its most historic wins. Hulk scored in the 91st minute for Brazil.

Mexico defeated Brazil 2-1 in Wembley on Saturday to win the gold medal in the men's soccer tournament in the 2012 London Olympics.

Oribe Peralta scored in the first minute and the 75th minute to lead Mexico to one of its most historic wins. Hulk scored in the 91st minute for Brazil but it was too little, too late.

Mexico won its first Olympic gold medal. Brazil is five-time World Cup champion but they have never won the Olympic soccer tournament.

"We won, yes!" Audomaro Lugo, owner of on Industrial Park Avenue in Redlands, said moments after the match. "We played better than Brazil."

The match was carried live in Redlands and Loma Linda on Telemundo 52.

Usually I'd start with how teachers should be paid in line with their students grades, but for nowRead More I'll just suggest going to the .99 cent stores. You can get everything from 100 packs of #2 pencils to college ruled notebooks and binders, to pens and highlighters. We go there weekly and send boxes of school supplies, crayons and coloring books to our troops in Afghanistan to help them befriend the locals. The biggest score is cans of party string that usually go for $5. They spray it into a room and the streamers will hang on any tripwires without setting off the bomb. And try asking the store manager if corporate might be willing to throw in 2 for the price of one or a bakers dozen on highly stocked items if you can get several other teaches to also shop there. It never hurts to ask.
