Olympics 2024

[Live in the Now]

Wish that had gone in. Amazing strike

We miss one long shot they don’t miss theirs

 

[gary69]

Lacazette hasn't been involved a lot, but scores with a shot from a situation that didn't look dangerous.

 

[Evilo]

Tough for the US.
France shouldn't be ahead.

US goalie not great on that shot though.

 

[gary69]

A post by USA. Meanwhile Mali is level after a Doumbia header.

 

[Evilo]

Akliouche, Doue and Cherki on the bench...
Ffs

 

[gary69]

Olise now, maybe US players starting to be tired, he was given way too much time and space.

 

[Live in the Now]

Couldn’t have stopped that one. Well, next two matches I like our chances at least.

 

[Evilo]

Shot was defected. Unlucky for the US again.

 

[gary69]

It took a while for France to get going, but looks to become a solid win in the end. Bade heads home from one of their many corners.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

That’s actually hilarious that they came back from a pitch invasion and changed the call. At least it was just Argentina.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

That whole Argentina thing seems pretty sus given that they happened to anger the host country of this event just a week ago or so. French payback?

 

[Evilo]

Ref isn't french.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

If the French wanted payback they would've just got the call right in the first place. The call isnt the issue its how it was handled that's the problem. That and there seems to be no talk about player safety now. Storming the pitch and attack the players is simply unacceptable these are the real issues.

Plus its hard to imagine France wanting to do anything in favour of Morocco. I think its likely that the ref and those who organised the tournament are a bunch idiots. A regular occurrence now is that security is a complete joke who ever hosts football matches. Sepp must've dipped his hands in the security funds because this makes no sense.

Was looking forward to switching over to the Women's game tomorrow but the whole drone cheating story with the CWNT is putting a damper on things....

 

[S E P H]

You lot actually watching Olympics football? It's bad stuff, reminds me of that beach version of football where they play 3v3.

I'm French so I can give you the report.

The country is divided between indigenous Europeans and Afro-Muslim immigrants.

You will easily see it on social networks. For example :

The French who want to take revenge on Argentina unanimously belong to the 2nd group because for them Argentina, as a country of European population, is a country of racists, settlers, fascists and Nazis. They did not appreciate the videos of the Argentine players, which they consider racist. And therefore, it gives the moral right to be able to take revenge.

Since 25 years, France has been unable to organize a football match between France and a team from the Maghreb. The country is not very violent (but increasingly so) but the police lack authority.

The situation is more serious for Israeli athletes. The 2nd group unanimously wishes them dead.

 

[Evilo]

Lol.

 

[John Price]

Japan scored on Spain!

 

[HajdukSplit]

Oh so the Morocco incident happened in St. Etienne, same place where the Croatia fans caused havoc at Euro 2016 where somehow they were able to bring in an arsenal of flares

For a country that usually has great kits these Japan women's kits look like something China/North Korea would wear

 

[gary69]

Bonmati's equalizing goal for Spain was good, nice pass for her to run into and then a subtle sidestep for a cool finish past keeper.

Canada's late first half goal also included some nice first touch passing in the build up.

 

[gary69]

Spain take a deserved lead. Caldetei found enough space to get a shot off after Bonmati's pass.

 

[gary69]

Viens very good finish has put Canada ahead from Fleming's impressive long range pass.

 

[NyQuil]

I would be surprised if they called that hand ball.

 

[gary69]

Golden oldie Marta had a goal disallowed for offside, but soon after that he assisted Gabi Nunes goal. Nunes took control of the ball very well and got a rather powerful shot off, which went in via bar.

Germany also leads 1-0 at HF from CB's header.

Another headed goal from a corner for Germany. And Brandt makes it 3-0 from a well-executed counter attack, and at the same time Marta hit the post from very wide on the left flank.

 

[gary69]

France went ahead when Kototo took advantage from a poor backwards defensive header by Colombia.
