Brazil midfielder Oscar wants revenge Tuesday over Mexico for their defeat in the London Olympics final, there's also a small matter of sealing a place in the last-16.
“It is a medal that Brazil have never won and we lost the final. Mexico are a very good team. I just hope the Selecao, in the next Olympics (in Rio de Janeiro), can win gold," said Oscar, one of the standout performers in Brazil's opening 3-1 win over Croatia in Sao Paulo on Thursday.
The current Mexico side, featuring eight members of the gold medal-winning 2012 team, also started their Group A campaign in positive fashion, beating Cameroon 1-0 in Natal on Friday.
