London 2012 Olympic Football THREAD

[Ribble]

Hulk was Brasil's best player today. But the game it's self was great. Loved it!

He definitely came on and made an impact. You might even say he was SMASH-ing

I suppose they'll have Kaka for the WC and Oscar will be older. Still, Messi would make that defence his bitch.

 

[lol]

hulk was definitely their best player. the entire brazil team didnt perform to standard. marcelo was decent, leandro was decent. oscar certainly didnt look like a 25m player, and neymar certainly doesnt live up to the hype. his decision making and passing is poor as hell, i dont think he'll be good enough for barca.

I have to say I had a very large smirk on my face as Brazil stood there receiving their SILVER medals. Each and every one of them looked like they're just eaten a 'shit sandwich'.

Good.

This is what happens (sometimes) when your personal arrogance outshines a team ethic and your actual ability on the day.

Congrats to Mexico winning their first GOLD.

So Mexico won then? Good for them. Everyone just had Spain or Brazil getting the gold for months. GDS - an olympic champion. Truth is stranger than fiction.

Did GDS play? Reason I say that is the OS is running two articles about silver for Sandro... and not a word for GDS. Weird.

I've just checked.. he didn't play, but should still get a mention, as he receives a gold medal.

it's because the people running the os are f stupid. true story bro. either that or some kind of vendetta from our dark overlord!

No, GDS didn't play because of an injury sustained in the last match.
