All Rise. Out of eleven games, Mexico had only beaten Brazil once before. But with an in-form side riding a spectacular high, it was impossible not to dream. They’d already upset the USWNT after all. Droves of Mexican fans packed the stands — just like they’ve done this whole tournament — and there was a tinge of hope that maybe the miracle was possible. But it didn’t last. Adriana, Antônia, and Yasmin made sure the game was wrapped up by the start of the second half. Ruthless. Judge, jury, and executioner. And it’s really no surprise. They’ve had a perfect Gold Cup run. 15 goals in their favor and only 1 against. Now they stroll into the final with confidence through the roof. The USWNT is weakened, no doubt, and just maybe, the Canarinha can cap this run with a historic upset. It would be a touch of revenge too. Both sides already met in the Gold Cup final back in 2000, with the USWNT barely winning it all. 24 years later, Brazil finally have a shot at avenging that defeat.
