Memo Ochoa has been a star at the FIFA World Cup 2014 for the Mexican National Soccer Team. The 28-year-old goalkeeper started all three games for México in the group stages of the tournament. Ochoa had been undefeated by Brazil and Cameroon, with no balls getting past him in both games. It was this last match against Croatia that made the free agent lose his virginity in front of the whole world. A kick from Ivan Perisic to the brazuca ball went past Memo and annotated one goal for Croatia. Croatians efforts of staying alive in the game were too late as México had already scored three times with goals from Rafa Márquez, Andrés Guardado and Chicharito. Yes, Guillermo Ochoa played a majestic game, but he is still human and that shot was almost impossible to block from the distance he was at. The final score of the match was 3-1 in favor of El Tri. Watch all of the goals scored down below!

Guillermo Ochoa became the MVP of the Mexico match against Brazil at the FIFA World Cup 2014. Now the goalkeeper will have to rely on his reflexes and quick thinking to remain goal-less in the very important game against Croatia. El Tri needs to end the game in a victory or a draw, with a victory being that much sweeter to enjoy. Ochoa was a machine, falling left, falling right, stopping balls with his abdomen as the world noticed no ball was going to get past him and ending up in a 0-0 draw with the host country. One German soccer fan that is in Brazil enjoying the World Cup live talked to a Mexican news outlet to talk about Memo's work on the field.
