The Brazil side had some into the Olympics as a slight EVEN odds favorite over Spain while Mexico had somewhat long odds at 14/1. Mexico still paid $500 for every $100 bet in the Olympics Soccer Final against mighty Brazil.
It is Mexico’s first Olympic gold in Soccer and, remarkably, Brazil is yet to win one.
