Olympics: Men's and women's football tournaments

[Jussi]

Two saves by the German keeper!

German keeper Bergers sinks Canada!

 

[BMOK33]

I think the US would rather have gotten Germany next over Canada, solely due to psychological edge of the win in group play, as for whether Germany is a weaker opponent overall I'd say they are not.

 

[GQS]

Canada so bad at penalties. Weak shots that the German goaltender could see where they were going and make the easy saves.

 

[Weltschmerz]

France Brasil with 16 minutes overtime announced which became 18+ minutes, I don't watch much soccer anymore these days but have never seen any extra time close to that for one halftime. 5 minutes used to be a lot.

 

[Nineteen67]

Canadians without the drone footage of the opposition goalie tendencies are kinda weak.

Blame VAR

 

[Mick Riddleton]

US could have had 20 drones and still lost 4-0 today. Morocco is just that good, and for a population of California, this is impressive.

Marta's career continues for two more games.

 

[LandfiII]

Marta's career continues for two more games.

I was surprised to learn she hasn't won anything. I guess she has the ESPN 100 as a feather in her cap.

 

[Jussi]

The booing and whistling during the Spanish anthem by the Moroccan fans... At least some tried to drown them out by applauding.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

That should be a penalty in favor of Morocco. And it's given!

Rahimi scores! 1-0!

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Spain equalizes 1-1. Damn it!

 

[Spring in Fialta]

2-1 Spain, credit to their player for keeping it in. Crunch time for Morocco.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Spain wins. Great game, though. Thrilling match from both sides.

 

[Jussi]

Egypt down to 10 men in extra time.

 

[Jussi]

2-1 France!

 

[PanniniClaus]

Just turned over to Germany and USA women. I could not even workout who was wearing what initially. What in the world are the Germans wearing?

 

[BMOK33]

Germany is trying hard to lose this one, the US is fatigued as heck and has basically had one good chance all game but Germany is trying to get way too fancy on their breaks

 

[Jussi]

USA - Germany looks destined for penalties.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

America, baby.

 

[Jussi]

What a poacher Smith is.

 

[GQS]

For a semi-finals match the stands are so empty for the US-Germany women's game. Crowds have been mostly great for the majority of other events, but for women's soccer its been pretty bad to see so many empty seats.

 

[Jussi]

Just saw Brazil's first goal vs Spain...

 

[Il Stugotz]

Just saw Brazil's first goal vs Spain...

Worse than last year:

 

[John Price]

wow US to possibly play Brazil after Brazil lead 3 0
