verb: To lose in an unbelievable way in the last minute, even when all the odds were on your side and everything was lined up for you to win, often because of weak determination, reckless errors or simply bad luck. The term comes from Mexican association football (i.e. soccer) team Cruz Azul, who holds the top record of runner-up positions ever, repeatedly losing final matches during otherwise successful tournaments. Short versions of the word: cruzulear, crulear
