FORTALEZA, Brazil — Mexico’s coach, Miguel Herrera, has become an icon during this World Cup for his impassioned exhortations in front of the team bench. Herrera has stomped and stamped, whirled and whipped, flailed and frothed over everything from referee decisions to near misses to, most notably, goals scored by his players. 巴西福塔雷萨——墨西哥队教练米格尔·埃雷拉(Miguel Herrera)已成为这届世界杯上的偶像级人物，这源于他在替补席前的一次次激情释放。从裁判的判罚到差之毫厘的射门，特别是本队球员的得分，一切都能让埃雷拉顿足捶胸、骤然狂奔、手舞足蹈、唾沫横飞。 Among the countless Internet tributes to Herrera is one delightful concoction in which Herrera’s wild gesticulations result in a violent thunderstorm. 网上有不计其数的内容都在向埃雷拉致敬，其中的一个动图很是讨喜：埃雷拉狂野的手势带起了一阵疯狂的雷暴。 Deep into stoppage time here on Sunday, though, Herrera finally stood still. At the far end of the field, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, a forward for the Netherlands, ran up and lashed a penalty kick into the net. As the Dutch bench erupted, Herrera only stared: His team had been just a few minutes from advancing to the quarterfinals. Instead, it is now going home, surely devastated, after a brutal 2-1 defeat. It is the sixth consecutive World Cup in which Mexico has been eliminated in the Round of 16. 不过，在周日比赛的补时阶段，埃雷拉终于安静了下来。在球场的一端，荷兰前锋克拉斯-扬·亨特拉尔(Klaas-Jan Huntelaar)主罚点球，罚球入网。荷兰的替补席一片欢呼，埃雷拉只是怔怔地看着这一切：他的球队只在几分钟之前还看似即将进入四分之一决赛。球队现在只能回家了，在2比1的残酷结果之后，这毫无疑问让人难以承受。这是墨西哥队连续第六次在世界杯16强阶段被淘汰。 Not surprisingly, Herrera did not leave quietly. In his postgame news conference, he excoriated the referee of the match for awarding the decisive penalty after Arjen Robben dribbled into the area and went down under a challenge from Mexico’s captain, Rafael Márquez. 埃雷拉自然不会默默离开。在赛后的新闻发布会上，他痛斥了裁判在阿尔扬·罗本(Arjen Robben)一次带球进入禁区之后吹罚了点球。当时墨西哥队队长拉法埃尔·马克斯(Rafael Márquez)试图抢断，罗本随后倒地。 To Herrera — and, presumably, just about every Mexico fan at Estádio Castel?o — Robben, who is known for embellishing, took a dive. The referee, Pedro Proen?a of Portugal, saw otherwise. 对于埃雷拉，或许还有卡斯特劳体育场(Estádio Castel?o)的每一名墨西哥球迷来说，以动作夸张而闻名的罗本是在“假摔”。但葡萄牙裁判佩德罗·普罗恩萨(Pedro Proen
