Mexico’s 0-0 draw against Brazil was one of the bigger surprises of what has been a very interesting World Cup. Mexican goalie Guillermo Ochoa’s acrobatic heroics kept El Tri in the game. Ochoa’s unbelievable goaltending was the story of the match, which inspired one YouTube user to make this clip, subbing Ochoa into a scene from the 2001 cult classic kung fu film Shaolin Soccer.
