RESULTS!

Brazil 2 - 0 Cameroon

Cameroon played 10-man from 51st minute; it took an OT before Brazil scored to win the game

Italy 2 - 3 Belgium

Belgium played with 10 players from 17th minute! Still they won!

Argentina 2 - 1 Netherlands

1:1 first half, no one scored on second half; went extra time

Nigeria 2 - 0 Cote d'Ivoire

Pretty much dominated by Nigeria

If you follow Olympic soccer you'll know that the reason 3 African teams are making it far is because alot of the powerhouse countries do not even take part in the olympics.. as well as only (maximum) 3 players from the pro-team can join the olympics. I mean come on, why is Honduras in the olympics and not france right?

And how the **** does Belgium beat Italy!?

Haha, I know padd. I was surprised too. More surprised when I saw they were playing with a 10 man team since the 17th minute.

If it's any consolation, no one really remembers who wins the Olympics gold medals in football anyway. But if you ask people the the finalists in Euro or World Cup, you'd get answers.
------
Belgium vs Brazil on August 22 for the Bronze.

Nigeria and Argentina advance to the finals on the 23rd.
------
Results:

Brazil got bronze (3-0 belgium)

And the gold was won by Argentina (beating Nigeria 1-0)

Argentina defended their gold medal.. so.. is it a big deal? Are people in Buenos Airs making a big deal about it? I sure hope not, we all know the Champions of the World are Italy and the Copa America Champions are Brazil ... man what does Argentina have to be proud of, they haven't had a succesfull team since Diego Marradonna.
