Olympic football

[Nigels Tackle]

Never liked the idea of football being considered an olympic sport, it shouldn't be in the olympics at all.

Some cracking crowds in the other games yesterday, great to see the football loving Brazilians really taking to the Olympics.

Rulli seems to be playing well for Argentina. Just saved a pen. Althoigh he did give it away.

[Plain Speaking]

The penalty he saved was straight down the middle. He certainly doesn't seem to play the "Pep way", he's not a young Casillas. Lots of long balls and passing not brilliant. Gave the ball to Honduras near the end that nearly led to a second goal, the striker hit the post. Generally the standard of u23 football at the Olympics has been poor.

[Saul Goodman]

I stand corrected. Thats what i get for reading the commentary and not watching

Missed a 1 on 1 with the keeper from about 4 yrds out...shot it straight at the keeper.

less than 5 minutes later he attacked the back post and volleyed from a cross to score.

[Saul Goodman]

Man, the players in this Brazil-Colombia match are spending more time on the ground than on their feet. Awful football

[nottsblue]

Jesus just scored the second for Brazil. Tidy first time finish after being sent through by Neymar. Who is getting kicked to fuck

Has just got his second. 3-0. Really well taken, cutting in from the left just like Henry used to do with regularity for Arsenal

[Saul Goodman]

Im torn between wanting Brazil and Jesus to win this and wanting Brazil to lose because they dive and complain way too much

[Dameerto]

I missed the whole match apart from the penalty shoot out - that was quite exciting though.

[phips]

no idea why Meyer or Peterson didnt take that 5th pen for Germany.
