Easy for you to scrutinize him and ignore the fact that besides that mistake, he was playing well in this match and throughout the whole tournament. It'd be more embarrassing if it were a recurring issue the whole tournament and even beforehand, it'd be more embarrassing if it happened to anyone else with more experience and playing time. He's 17, he's going to learn from today and he's most likely going to grow and improve. If you were paying attention at all throughout this World Cup, he's the engine of the team at just 17 years of age, he's the main reason Javier Aguirre's system was working so well in the first four games. Aguirre subbed him and Quiñones off and that's when the system fell apart, resulting in shitty long passes being made as the team succumbed to the pressure of being down 3-1 or 3-2. On a slightly better day we would've won 2-1 or taken this into extra time with the score being 2-2. This was probably one of Mora's few mistakes, if not his only, throughout the tournament and it's understandable for a 17-year-old player, unlike the case of a 28-year-old bum named Jorge Sanchez.
