2016 Olympics Men Football Tournament

Jesus has been the worst out of all the hyped kids.

Maia/Barbosa>Luan>Jesus in this match for me.

We might end up with he good Gabriel after all

in before he's snatched from under our noses.

Our 20 best players all declined to come. This team is awful.

It's not just a problem of the Danish team - the German team lacks many of their U23 top players, too.

Problem is that the CL qualifiers are right in the middle of the Olympics, and e.g. Borussia M'gladbach thus decided to keep Mo Dahoud and Andreas Christensen in Germany, who otherwise certainly would have starred in the Olympics.

Gnabry scores for the Germans

Yeah, but it hits us hard because the gap between are best and the current players are bigger than any other nation I'd reckon.

We have some pleb named Eddi Gomes. What the hell.

Well, frankly I don't really know all of the German team either. Plus they had a great preparation for the Olympics - a full week XD

BTW...

FT - Mexico 2:2 Germany

Who are we calling Gabigol, Gabriel Jesus or Gabriel Barbosa?

Can't believe I am the only one to have upvoted this

Barbosa

Our team looked really nervous today. They were making the easy stuff look difficult. I don't think anybody stood out positively. I also don't have much confidence in a coach that plays a legit 4-2-4 (Neymar with three other forwards) in 2016 but we'll see.

I know one or two players from the Danish team of the the u23s

This is an awful tournament tbh. Rather watch the womens tournament now because it's prioritised.

The women's tournament has the advantage that they can have their proper squads.

BTW Nigeria vs Japan was 2:2 after not quite 12 minutes. Defense? What defense?

Nigeria 5-4 Japan

Asano scored

City fought tooth and nails to snap him up from literally every club in Europe's reach and pipped United to the finish line in the end to secure his signature. Might be good therefore. Let's see how he fares in the remainder of the matches.
If he's indeed not so good, then  Music to the ears!!

I've heard Neymar sucked donkey balls. Can someone confirm?

He was alright, the team just didn't work. It was all of them trying to showcase their talent without being able to do too much mostly cause South Africa had proper tactics in place.

Brazil came out with


extremely attacking, and Augusto sucked so they only had one working midfielder.

I see Brazil has their very own Higuain.

Can confirm. Neymar was disgraceful. Couldn't pass and refuse to stay out wide. Crowding the middle. Didn't help that Brazil played a legit 4-2-4 formation Disposed too often and couldn't beat his man 1v1. And too often was looked at the ref on the ground after being outmuscled for the ball

On multiple occasions tried to cut inside and shot like Robben but ended up side-way dribbling like Hazard to the other side of the pitch

Also WTF is wrong with brazil? Why does all four attackers have a free role
Why doesn't anyone know their role. They kept getting in each others way.

tl;dr- Harmonica was right about him

@BC , we're about to play you mad? You're gonna lose by 3 goals son

The German team is so infuriatingly careless! Got 0:1 by South Korea in the 25th minute, although right now they equalized in the 33rd minute (Serge Gnabry scored).

I wish they could give them same squad numbers on the shirts ffs

South Korea coach clearly styling himself after Jogi

His team certainly held on to that lead like it was coached by Jogi.

The future of the German National Team is bleak.

North Korea have looked the better team, they have dominated the game from start to finish. The Germans look like they don't even want to be there

3-3

Gnabry carrying these scrubs, look shattered at the end
