RECIFE, Brazil -- Mexico surged into the World Cups
knockout stage for a sixth straight time Monday with a 3-
1 win over Croatia. Rafael Marquez, Andres Guardado and
Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez scored in a 10-minute span
in the second half, dooming a talented Croatia side to
elimination from the group stage. The Croats had to win
to advance and held the bulk of possession, but had
trouble seriously threatening goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa,
who kept out all efforts until an 87th-minute consolation
goal from Ivan Perisic. Mexico entered the game needing
only a draw, and looked dangerous in attack, but was kept
out until the three-goal burst. Marquez struck first,
beating Croatia defender Vedran Corluka to head home
Hector Herreras corner kick in the 72nd minute. Three
minutes later, Guardado found the net with a hard, left-
footed, one-time shot after a cross from Oribe Peralta.
Then in the 82nd minute, Hernandez, the popular
Manchester United striker who has been a second-half
substitute in all three of Mexicos matches, scored with a
header after Herreras corner had glanced off the head of
Marquez. Croatia didnt score until it was too late, with
Perisic sliding a shot past Ochoa after being set up by a
neat backheel pass from Ivan Rakitic. It was the first
goal Mexico has conceded in the World Cup, but "El Tri"
hardly seemed to mind when the final whistle sounded and
a lively, heavily Mexican crowd in Arena Pernambuco
erupted. Mexico appeared to be labouring through a
downspell before this World Cup. It struggled just to
qualify out of CONCACAF and fired three coaches in a
years time before Miguel Herrera took over and ultimately
rescued Mexicos hopes by soundly beating New Zealand in a
last-chance qualifier. In the hours leading up to the
match, Miguel Herrera, known as a coach of the people for
the way he engages fans on social media and at times in
public, implored the Mexico faithful to "stay together"
and sing the national anthem "like never before." Mexican
fans, whose green jerseys distinguished them as the
overwhelming majority in the crowd, did not disappoint,
belting out a thunderous rendition. Croatia had expected
to play before a crowd heavily in Mexicos favour, with
star Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric saying on the eve
of the match that the game would not be won in the
stands, and that his side was motivated to silence the
crowd. Croatia players were heckled each time they took a
corner kick, and goalkeeper Stipe Pletikosa was heckled
whenever he touched the ball. Mexicos attacking play also
enlivened the crowd, particularly a sizzling 25-yard shot
by Hector Herrera that rattled the crossbar in the 16th
minute. In the 19th, Oribe Peralta pounced on a bounding
ball from Herrera in the penalty area, but his sliding
attempt to chip over the advancing Pletikosa went wide.
Croatia enjoyed the bulk of possession in the opening 45
minutes, but didnt force Ochoa to make a single save.

Korea -- The head of the organizing committee for the
2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang resigned Monday,
saying new leadership and a "stronger system" is needed
to complete preparations for the games. Former provincial
governor Kim Jin-sun was elected president of the
organizing committee in late 2011 after Pyeongchang won
the right to host the first Winter Olympics in South
Korea. He was re-elected last year for another two-year
term. "PyeongChang 2018 is at a turning point for the
latter half of its games preparation, which requires more
detailed planning and execution," Kim said Monday,
according to a committee statement. "At this critical
juncture, I believe that PyeongChang 2018 needs new
leadership and a stronger system that will effectively
carry out various games-related projects," he said. The
organizing committee did not comment on the process for
replacing Kim or his likely successor. Kim, former
governor of the eastern Gangwon province which includes
Pyeongchang, led the South Korean towns two unsuccessful
bids for the 2010 and 2014 Olympics. In 2010, he stepped
down as governor and had since served as an ambassador to
Pyeonchangs bid committee for the 2018 games. Kims tenure
was to officially end in October 2015 and it is not known
what exactly caused his early departure. International
Olympic Committee officials who visited Pyeongchang
recently expressed no major concerns about preparations
for 2018. Gunilla Lindberg, who led the IOC co-ordination
commission on a threee-day inspection visit, said a large
amount of work had been achieved since the panels
previous visit in June last year.dddddddddddd "The 2018
games are on the right track, but it is clear that much
work remains," Lindberg said. "With only four years to go
until the Pyeongchang 2018 Olympic Winter Games begin, it
was important for the commission to be able to survey the
progress being made on the different venues. We are
pleased to see that work on key sites like the sliding
centre and coastal Olympic Village has begun." IOC
President Thomas Bach visited Pyeongchang earlier this
month and downplayed concerns about tight construction
schedules. "It is not new that when it comes to the
organization of games that, in one or the other project,
there are some delays in comparison to the previous
plans, so theres no reason right now to become nervous,"
Bach said. He said the IOC remains confident that
Pyeongchang can organize "excellent" games. The IOC
thanked Kim on Monday for "his hard work and excellent
commitment" to the organizing committee, known as POCOG.
"We held our last project review meeting with POCOG at
the end of June and developed with them a clear roadmap
of activities until the end of the year," the IOC said in
a statement. "We have full confidence that these
activities will be delivered by the POCOG team in a
timely manner and using their existing processes. We
continue to work closely with them on their preparations
for the games."
