Olympics 2020 (U23)

[Bobo32]

Spain v Argentina starts now.
Spain back to what to me seems like their absolute best eleven, when Ceballos is not there...

Let's see if Garcia can handle the absolute beast Argentina have up top..


Nehuen Perez already with a yellow after a VERY conmebol tackle!
Pedri looks exhausted today, but jogs around and gets to see some of the ball, played a pretty terrible attempt at a through ball earlier

 

[Zidane82]

This is difficult viewing given Spain are playing some lovely football but Argentina are hacking them down relentlessly. I?ve just seen a couple of Spain players going into tackles very hesitantly .. already .

As regards Pedri ... he was whacked twice in the first 90 seconds...left him hobbling around

 

[mc_lovin]

Spain's U23 has the same problem as the first team. Just so freaking wasteful. Their creators are top notch though. Pedri's been great.

 

[vegitot]

Spain win their group. Argentina are out.

An exhausted Pedri is still great. Olmo is great too.

Fati could solve a lot of their issues.

France losing 3-0 vs Japan. Wow. Germany out too.

France losing 3-0 vs Japan. Wow. Germany out too.

Spain is the only European team remaining.

 

[vegitot]

Japan destroys France. 4-0

 

[BerkeleyBernie]

Japan destroys France. 4-0

Deserved. Casual lazy defense by the French.

And the red card knee-twisting stomp by Muani (Nantes) was disgusting.

 

[Horatio]

Martens gifted US the victory. Failed a penalty right before regular time ended.

 

[Messi983]

Yeah, feel really bad for her.


Bad start for Spain. Mingueza injured after 10 minutes and then they've also conceded.

 

[vegitot]

Spain equalise again. 2-2

 

[Messi983]

Who would have thought it's easier to score when you have an actual striker in the game?

3-2 meanwhile, Oyarzabal from penalty

Soler on for Pedri in 100th minute. He looks dead tired to me.

 

[Messi983]

4-2 now, Rafa Mir with his second. Should be a starter imo.

 

[Porque]

Rafa Mir putting his name in the market.

I'm sure could have actually got him in the Trincao deal. But we don't do plan B's.

 

[Messi983]

Yeah, would be more useful than Bum Aguero. Well, at least we have King Manaj.
