Ireland vs Mexico 1 - 2 Exclusive Highlight World Cup 94 HD 

It went down to goals scored in the end

Ése grupo sería el más reñido en toda la historia de los mundiales porque nunca ha vuelto a pasar que haya un empate en puntos entre los cuatro integrantes del sector

I'm looking forward to seeing the WC back in USA and Mexico in 2026 (although I don't think the atmosphere will be as good as '86 and '94 - recent World Cups have been so sterile because of FIFA)

Agree. Plus all that commotion could've been avoided.

I remember that game brought us right back down to earth, especially after beating Italy the previous Saturday.

The heat was a factor. After playing Italy in New Jersey at 29°C, Ireland had to face Mexico in Orlando at 12:30 PM, and the temperature was nearly 35°C under the unforgiving midday sun. It suited the Mexicans, but not the Irish. I also agree that John Aldridge should have started. But despite the 2-1 defeat, Ireland's fighting spirit was there for all to see.

None of that, the game was even from the beginning and when Mexico's first goal fell, the Irish became a little unmotivated and that made Mexico play better than them, they practically dominated the entire game and the refereeing had nothing to do with it.

Le Mexique n'était pas le Brésil quand même. Il y avait beaucoup de supporters mexicains car à Orlando mais il n'y a eu aucun problème d'arbitrage sur ce match. Juste la girafe Charlton qui pête un câble à cause de la chaleur et de son kick and rush dégueulasse qui ne marchait pas devant de bons techniciens.

Porque el árbitro no hacía los cambios y quedaba poco tiempo para que se terminará el juego y los irlandeses necesitaban anotar un gol o mínimo empatar, por eso se enojo el jugador porque le dice que ya habían pasado 3 minutos y no les autorizaban los cambios a sus asistentes
