Summer Olympics 2021 ongoing discussion

The Dutch women’s football team play against USA. I really like their chances.
15 mins in – 0-0
Hup Holland!

Matilda’s go 2 up in 1st min of 2nd period of ET via Sam Kerr header

Great goal. I guess its still not going back home to the UK. :stuck_out_tongue:

And a great goal for Holland. USA hasnt exactly been an offensive force in these Olympics.

Matilda’s sitting back, need to hold possession but further up field. 8mins to play

GB get one back. Seat of pants stuff for next 4 mins

NED 1 - USA 1

Dutch defense not looking good.

Aus v GB 4-3 into 2 mins extra time

NED 1 - USA 2

That was way to easy.

They were fine. Just a brilliant cross and a perfect header. Great goal.

Matilda’s home 4-3

An attacker without defender is not a sign of good positioning.

Great match. Much more entertaining than Canada v Brasil.

Maybe you are right. I was watching two matches at once. I just thought that it was a perfect cross and the header beat the GK to the near post. Either way it was a great goal.

Maybe for a neutral observer:)

I know Im probably insane but I live in Los Angeles and this match is being played at 4am my time. Its so much fun to wake up at weird hours to watch the football. This is a flashback of Japan/Korea 2002 which almost killed me.

Lots of US crosses swinging into a crowded box for the US. Not pretty, but effective with their size. This game has another goal in it I think.

I was hoping for at least 2;)

Miedema!

US goalie doesn’t look good here.

Belated congrats to Sunisa Lee for the all-around Gold – nice for the Hmong community.
Sport climbing looks fascinating to me though I wonder how engaging the slower events will be (no problem with the speed event).
Interesting that the 3 events are combined for one medal (opposite of swimming?*)
