i was very impressed with the way brazil played.......then again it was only New Zealand so maybe brazils next game will show how good they are. i saw the italy vs korea game and italy seemed in control for the whole match and they had a few good players up front and their defence played very well

only today I found out that it was already The Semifinals...I always don't pay any attention for Soccer in Olympics - I remember the first thing I heard in Athens was that Iraq was in semifinals, since then I won't even bother looking for results.... and anyway our TV has only shown one game - Brazil - China and it was boring as hell, the first 20 minutes...

I'm not really interested in Olympic soccer, although I think that this year might be a bit better. I too don't like the age restrictions as it cuts off alot of the great players in the world today and really it seems like soccer at the Olympics is going downhill unless they let anyone play like in the basketball tournament. I think if they did that, we'd see alot more viewers of the soccer at the next Olympics.
Oh, I'll go for Argentina to win it all aswell. I don't know why, but they look pretty good on paper.

like you guys say the crap thing with soccer in the olympics is that age limit, and then theres also the fact that a lot of teams wont let their players go play in the olympics because the soccer season is satrting now and no one wants to risk injuries, also soccer at the olympics is not a FIFA event so it means nothing really whileolympic basketball is pretty much the top thing and is a FIBA event
