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.

Mexico last received an Olympic medal in 1988, taking home the silver.
