Olympic Football Thread (Mexico win men's gold, USA women's)

[Jayson]

The place to discuss the Olympic footie.

http://i49.tinypic.com/2dan4vs.png

[Brother Leon]

Brazil's squad is ridiculous. They got this.

[Jayson]

Have to agree with you on that one. The beast Neymar will shine for them.

[Locke.]

Uruguay will win it.

[Mystic Mock]

We're through our group.

[Ramsay]

my money is on gabon

[Jayson]

ffs Karl, always going for the smart bet

[Mystic Mock]

Mexico 14 Gabon 0

Republic Of Korea 19 Gabon 0

Switzerland 38 Gabon 0

[Locke.]

We're through our group.

Don't be so sure, Uruguay are a much stronger side and Senegal have a few decent players aswell.

[Mystic Mock]

Don't be so sure, Uruguay are a much stronger side and Senegal have a few decent players aswell.

Senegal are no match for us.

no this is the football thread not rugby :crazy:

[arista]

The Womens Football
will start hours before the opening.


strange that

[the truth]

The Womens Football will start hours before the opening. strange that very strange indeed? isnt helping ticket sales either for the womens matches...the mens GB are all sell outs though, well excited

[Locke.]

Team GB vs Brazil at 7.45 tonight, a friendly

[Jayson]

Brazil 4-0 GB

Neymar with all 4.

[Locke.]

On BBC1 now. Expecting us to be murdered.

[Jayson]

If Pato was playing this would be at least 7-0 to the mighty Brazilians...

That front three... :love:

[Locke.]

Joe Allen tackles Neymar.

No jokes about the £15 Million price tag anymore

[Jayson]

Such a pretty ball in from Neymar. Lovely header in as well from Sandro.

[bbfan1991]

Good goal by Sandro.

I like Marcelo!:D

[bbfan1991]

Come on Giggs, Cleverley and Rafael:p.

[Locke.]

Oh dear. Don't bother coming to the Premier League, Neymar.

[bbfan1991]

Oh bloody hell Neymar.

[bbfan1991]

Oh dear 2-0 down now.

[Locke.]

A string of good saves from Butland. The only positive to take from the game, really.

[King Gizzard]

Stuart Pearce in ''im a **** manager'' shocker

[Ryan57]

After last night's performance i'd make us favourites to win the tournament. http://pictures3.ebuddy.com/emotions/l/L/4/lL4n8tRnQSRUKt9x3visw800Rqc.png

[the truth]

why play the best team in the world first? not clever for confidence
brazil have always made british footballers look the joke they are, we dont even learn the technical skills to start with , we are a joke, our entire football philosophy is, get stuck in and get drunk afterwards, then sell the story to the daily star.....the brazillians train their kids martial arts, running through rivers, learning balance techniques, juggling tangerines, we dont even let our kids develop their skills properly...were a joke

[BBfanUSA]

The women start playing tomorrow. Cannot wait for the US Women to utterly dominate the competition.

[Jayson]

Women's footie on now

GB vs. New Zealand

[Novo]

Alex Morgan looking as fit as ever today, The GB and New Zealand game was pretty terrible at least we won though

[King Gizzard]

Hampden Park nearly starting WWIII, they put up the South Korean flag when they were meant to put the North Korean one up..

[King Gizzard]

The NK team are refusing to come out :joker:

[Novo]

:joker: :joker: :joker:

is it on tv?

[Novo]

:joker: :joker: :joker:

is it on tv?

[Novo]

It's nearly empty there

[King Gizzard]

They're just coming out now, BBCThree red button

[Novo]

That big butch lesbian standing up clapping and everyone around here just sitting down not giving a **** :joker:

[Mrluvaluva]

The North Korean women's football team have walked off the pitch at Hampden Park in Glasgow in a row over flags.

The action was apparently in protest at the South Korean flag being mistakenly displayed beside players' names on a screen prior to their Olympic football match.

Kick-off had been scheduled for 19:45. It was later re-scheduled for 21:00.

North Korea are playing Colombia in the second of the opening matches being held at the ground.


BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-18991619)


:joker: Didn't take long for the screw ups to start.

[Novo]

number 3 i think? for Columbia is alright

[Novo]

Number 6 actually.. the blondish one

[Jayson]

Prepare for the nukes everyone, Kim Jong-Un will not take this lightly

[King Gizzard]

The screen guy's getting sacked anyway, might as well go the whole hog and play I'm so ronery as the national anthem

[Novo]

that scream from the girl with the white headband when she fall over clearing the ball :joker:

[Novo]

Daniela = gip

[Novo]

Some of these North Korean players just look towards the camera in shock like they've never seen one before.. oh wait.

[Novo]

that goal :joker:

[Jayson]

Everything about this match has been hilarious

[Novo]

Baradda just scored a great goal just then for Morocco against Honduras

[MTVN]

The mighty Honduras have equalised

[MTVN]

Turning into a decent game, Honduras 2-1 up from a pen

[Jayson]

This will go down in legend.

[bbfan1991]

Spain XI vs Japan: De Gea; Montoya, Domínguez, Íñigo Martínez, Jordi Alba; Javi Martínez, Koke; Mata, Isco, Rodrigo; & Adrián #OlympicGames

[BBfanUSA]

Wow Japan dominating Spain. :O

[bbfan1991]

All Japan atm, quick and organised. Spain have been disappointing and are now a man down due to Inigo Martinez being sent off.

[Jayson]

Is Honda playing for Japan?

[lostalex]

USA were amazing yesterday. They came back from a 2-0 deficit against France to 4-2. Greatest soccer players in the world.

[bbfan1991]

Japan have really been impressive today:). Spain's tiki taka tactics have come to no avail by the looks of things.

[Locke.]

The Champions kick off in 15 minutes against United Arab Emirates

[MTVN]

Time to switch over to Gabon Switzerland

[Locke.]

Suarez and Cavani.

Double figures coming up.

[Locke.]

Suarez and Cavani.

Double figures coming up.

[MTVN]

UAE should have just had two penalties

[Locke.]

Send him off!!!!!!!!

[Locke.]

All the **** teams are winning. Great Britain might stand a chance afterall

[bbfan1991]

Good goal by the UAE.

[Locke.]

What a goal by Ramirez

[King Gizzard]

Just bumped Ramirez's price up by 5m

[Jayson]

Who did Senegal bring from the seniors?

[bbfan1991]

Quality goal by Gaston Ramirez. That will ensure Bologna demanding more money from teams interested in buying him.

[Locke.]

So how does the ticketing work then? Do you just buy tickets for the whole day of matches and not the one match?

[MTVN]

Yeah think you get tickets for the two games at the stadium that day, not completely sure though, are you getting some now?

[Locke.]

No was just wondering because the GB kicks off 45 minutes after this one ends and there's no way they'd be able to get all of these out and then fill the stadium back up again

[KG.]

Wow, shocked at the Japan result, looking forward to seeing GB vs Senegal though, Senegal have got a decent few players, Kouyaté will be playing in the BPL in the next 2 years.

[Jayson]

TYLER, TYLER, TYLER, TYLER!!! :joker:

[bbfan1991]

GB team v Senegal: Butland, Richards, Caulker, Taylor, Bertrand, Cleverley, Allen, Giggs, Bellamy, Sturridge, Rose. #bbc2012

Senegal: Ousmane Mane, Souare, Ciss, Ba, Papa Gueye, Toure, Konate, Sadio Mane, Diame, Idrissa Gana Gueye, Ibra.

[bbfan1991]

Giggsy!:worship:

[Petershaw1984]

Who do you think will get the medals?

Mens
Gold: brazil
Silver: uruguay
Bronze:team gb

Womens
Gold:brazil
Silver:team gb
Bronze: usa

Will you be watching?

[bbfan1991]

Rafael Da Silva scored for Brazil:D:).

[bbfan1991]

Bellamy! Don't get why some morons in the crowd were booing him?

[MTVN]

Bloody hell that was a let off

[lostalex]

everyone here only cares about men's soccer. sexist bastards.
Do any of you actually think that the best teams of men's soccer are playing here in the olympics??

Some of the best national teams in the world are obviously not here in the olympics, so it means nothing.

[lostalex]

The Euro's are a harder contest, and they only represent one continent. Honduras is playing in this championship, but USA is not, you think that makes sense??

[lostalex]

Men's soccer should not be allowed in the olympics. the olympics is suppossed to be about the best athletes in the world. the athletes in men's soccer in the olympics are not the best in the world.

[MTVN]

...

[Locke.]

Is Bellamy being booed just because he plays for us, or is there some other reason?

Anyway, Senegal look decent but we should be able to keep this lead.

[Jayson]

oh dear

[MTVN]

****ed it up, that guy who scored is who we're interested in signing apparently

[Jayson]

Sordell :bored:

[Jayson]

What is this ref's problem?

[MTVN]

We weren't really that good tbh, not a great game, should still hopefully get 4 points out if the next two games

[bbfan1991]

Oh well a draw is better than nothing. The Ref was awful and Senegal just loved getting stuck in with the challenges, well football is a contact sport but that tackle on Bellamy was OTT.

[Locke.]

Uruguay will murder us. We'll beat UAE though.

[michael21]

time to sack stewart pearce

i take over :amazed:

[the truth]

this is our best team for the next game inho....Butland, Richards, Caulker, Taylor, Bertrand, Cleverley, Allen, Giggs, Bellamy, Sturridge, ramsey

I thought we played ok tonight, got a bit of our passing going and were unlucky not to get a penalty from an absolutely dreadful referee who missed everything...cleverly and joe allen look good to me, next to the great giggs and some gas in ramsey and bellamy up front, we could be dangerous, richards was ropey for their goal though. id day we were edgy due to nerves at times. but should settle now.

brazil were sublime first half and asleep in the second, spain too were poor, so maybe theres a chance

i think we have a good squad and we could possibly qualify

[Novo]

still can't believe we never got a penalty when Bellamy was fouled in the box

[Locke.]

Our most threatening player probably won't even start the next game either, he can't manage more than one full game a week

[Novo]

Stoney!!!!

[Novo]

2-0 now

[Shaun]

can see the GB women doing well... the men, not so much

[Novo]

Yeah the Women look good and luckily they can take it easy against Brazil in the final group game

[Novo]

Houghton 3-0

[MTVN]

The French women destroying North Korea, they're quite good actually

[BBfanUSA]

The French women destroying North Korea, they're quite good actually

Which means US is better since US beat France 4-2. (Though I'd say France is still impressive since they did screwup US's Gameplan by scoring twice within 14 mins, it's really hard to get it pass Hope Solo, the US Keeper and #1 Keeper on the Women's side)
They beat Colombia 3-0 today/yesterday and are in Quarterfinals

[bbfan1991]

Brazil vs Belarus is on now at Old Trafford:).

http://www.thefirstrow.eu/watch/132864/1/watch-olympic:-brazil-vs-belarus.html

[Jayson]

Belarus 1-0 Brazil

Scoreboard gave the goal to Brazil because they couldn't believe it :joker:

[Jayson]

1-1

[bbfan1991]

Neymar's free kick goal, wow:cool:.

[Shaun]

awww poor Belarus

[Shaun]

3 :amazed:

[bbfan1991]

Neymar has been quality today, 2 goals and an assist. He has a bright future ahead when he moves to Europe.

Oscar impressed too, it looks like Chelsea have a bargain of a player there who they can develop.

[Novo]

10 men Senegal 2-0 Uruguay

[Locke.]

Yet another second half comeback from Uruguay coming up then

[Wildcat!]

Sorry Locke, we destroyed Uruguay and the Racist Prick Suarez. :)

[Locke.]

Luis is going to have to make up for this with a hattrick against Great Britain

[Locke.]

Actually no, lets hope they go out so he doesn't have to miss the start of the season

[Wildcat!]

Actually no, lets hope they go out so he doesn't have to miss the start of the season

Haha! I get that. At least Liverpool was classy enough to release him. Those greedy Magpies, pretty much forced us to exclude Demba Ba, and Papiss Demba Cisse! :(

[Shaun]

-watches this-

[Jayson]

NO SHAUN WATCH THE SWIMMING FIRST YOU DICKHOLE I HATE YOU AAAaaaaaaaaa

[Shaun]

I REFUSE I WANT TO SEE US DEMOLISH ARABS tbh

[Jayson]

I will probably watch the second half of this

Hopefully the swimming will be done by then

[Jayson]

1-0, fantastic stuff.

[Novo]

what a great header

[Shaun]

Honduras beating Spain :o

[Locke.]

Spain a goal down to Honduras. As it stands they are knocked out.

[Jayson]

All going well so far in the footie then

[Novo]

Wonder what odds Spain are to win the whole thing right now

[Shaun]

jesus, wtf is wrong with this team :bored:

[Shaun]

oh good, Scott Sinclair's sorted it all out

[Novo]

first touch as well

[Shaun]

that goal :amazed: Sturridge :worship:

[Novo]

What a finish by Sturridge

[Jayson]

A draw against Uruguay and we're through :pipe:

[Shaun]

bit of a wild shot there from Allen... and he's worth a £15m bid from Liverpool? :laugh:

[Jayson]

Great result, 1-1 is my prediction for GB vs. Uruguay

[Shaun]

christ Stuart Pearce has an awful accent :laugh:

[Jayson]

Spain out :joker:

[Shaun]

disgusting conduct as well... never enjoyed watching their football :bored:

[Locke.]

Allen's passing is amazing, not worth £15m but definitely worth about £10m

[Novo]

Looked like Mata was going to headbutt the Ref at one point

[the truth]

crikey this GB side is starting to look a bit tasty, richards is a one man wrecking machine, ramey superb workrate, cleverly was class, giggs involved everywhere, sturridge world class finish and bellamy man of the match yet again....spain out too....hmmmm

[Shaun]

just need the Brazilian team to get delayed in traffic all the time tbh

[Novo]

Would take taking Silver or Bronze right now, were a decent side but nothing like Brazil

[the truth]

yeah I think were avoiding the mighty brazil till the final , if we get there....can anone confirm this?

all we need then is for someone to somehow knock them out with a fluke goal....theyre a phenomenal side, the skills on them are super natural....makes me wonder why we can never seem to produce such skillful players

[Novo]

The Women 1-0 up against Brazil

[Shaun]

GB won :amazed: Don't want to jinx it but the women's team have been fantastic, a medals slot surely :D

[Shaun]

Men's GB vs. Uruguay on now

[Locke.]

Seriously hate the way every single little thing Suarez does is picked up on and complained about by the commentators all the time, and then to cover it up they end it with "but he's a great player no matter what you think of him." Nothing more annoying.

[Shaun]

Sturridge puts GB ahead :amazed: 1-0

[Locke.]

Joe Allen is now worth every penny of that £15 million

[Marc]

Are we still playing

[Locke.]

No, it's just Uruguay playing now

[Marc]

Oh well that's not good is it, silly GB

[Locke.]

Bellamy screaming at the ref :joker: :joker: :joker:

[Locke.]

We (underservingly) go through as Group Winners and play South Korea in the Quarter Finals on Saturday

[Novo]

5 Wins and 1 Draw between the Womens and Mens football teams.. clinical

[Shaun]

South Korea will be tricky tho :(

[Jayson]

If Gareth Bale hadn't been such a **** we would be one of the favourites now

[Novo]

Get through South Korea and it's likely going to be Brazil in the Semis

[the truth]

If Gareth Bale hadn't been such a **** we would be one of the favourites now

if we get an injury to we have the option to call him up?

we got korea in cardiff saturday, if we win its brazil in semis then IF we get past those geniuses, its probably mexico at wembley

delighted to see the welsh didnt boo God save the queen as the tabloids suggested they may, the atmosphere was awesome

[Shaun]

GB women 1-0 behind to Canada :(

[Shaun]

2-0 -sobs-

[Marc]

Fgs :(

[MTVN]

This football all seems really unpredictable

[MTVN]

This football all seems really unpredictable

Like with thus game, Honduras are level 1-1 with Brazil in the QF

[Shaun]

behind 1-0 to S Korea, but GB now have a penalty!

[Shaun]

Japan, Mexico and Brazil are the first three semi-finalists

[Shaun]

[Novo]

[Shaun]

Ramsey taking again

[Shaun]

[Novo]

[MTVN]

This is gonna go to pens

[Shaun]

[Shaun]

[Jayson]

Gotta love pens but you can never fancy England to win...













WHICH IS WHY IT'S GOOD THAT THIS IS TEAM GB!

[Marc]

Ah/

[Jayson]

Ramsey may take his third pen of the night :joker:

[Marc]

Keep me updated we have Mo on still

[Locke.]

The amount of pressure on Jack Butland here

[lostalex]

team USA's next match is against Canada. no offense to the Canadians, but if we don't win this it would be really embarassing.

I really hoipe it's gonna be a USA/Japan final. repeat of the last world cup.

[Shaun]

Ramsey first :laugh:

[Jayson]

Come on Aaron...

[Black Dagger]

COME ON GB.

This will be icing on the nice cake.

Great stuff

****ing horrible celtic ****

[Black Dagger]

Stupid wanker :bored:

(We don't expect to do well in football though xo)

So out of Football & Women's hockey then today =(.

[lostalex]

This is why men's soccer shouldn't be in the olympics. the olympics should be the best in the world. These olympic men's soccer teams are not the best in the world. The FA cup and the World Cup are the best in the world, the olympics is not.

[Novo]

Were not out of Womens Hockey yet, we just need to draw against Holland who are the world Champions to make the Semi's in the last game

[Shaun]

we'd have been slaughtered by Brazil anyway

[Locke.]

Don't worry Sturridge you're still welcome to play under Brendan next season

[Black Dagger]

Were not out of Womens Hockey yet, we just need to draw against Holland who are the world Champions to make the Semi's in the last game

Oh right, I was flicking through and just saw we lost 2-0 so assumed we were out.

[Novo]

:laugh3:

you need all the Gold Medals you can possibly get at the minute to go along with that lonely Judo one :pipe:

[MTVN]

Don't fancy their chances after just scraping a win over a 9 man Honduras team

[BBfanUSA]

The US Women will be winning today

[BBfanUSA]

My god this is an intense game between US and Canada.

[Legend killer]

I'm not gonna lie this Can-USA match is 100x more exciting then any of the Men's matches i have seen
