All eyes will be on the Brazilian team who marched into the finals by easing past South Korea (Republic of Korea) in the semi final. Even though detractors may aver that Brazil have struggled to hit top gear in a few games during the 2012 tournament, the team was on song against the Koreans and thrashed three goals to claim a convincing 3-0 victory.
Brazil, in their last game, opened the scoring with Romulo whose first time strike, after a perfect pass from Oscar, set the Canarinhos rolling. The team also boasts the tournament's top scorer in the form of Leandro Damiao, who has scored six so far. This includes two in the second half against South Korea.
However, the Brazilians have never won the men's soccer gold medal in the Olympics before and are now eyeing the Olympic gold to add to their soccer laurels. As far as numbers are concerned, Brazil scored 15 goals in five games, which would indicate that the team is peaking at the right time.
The Mexicans, on the other hand, have been impressive throughout the tournament. They had an amazing game in their semi-final against Japan and proved that they will be serious challengers going into the final.
The London 2012 football between Brazil and Mexico will have billions of people the world over tuning in. An electric atmosphere at Wembley will ensure a firecracker of a match is on the cards. Make sure you tune in at 3PM GMT and catch all the Olympic soccer action online through NBC's live stream.
