One of those days when you clearly realize why Giovani Dos Santos is always a benchwarmer. Man, I didn't expect this awful and lazy game from both sides, Mexico and Korea.

 

[Ohwiseone]

I'm gonna have to stay away from this thread tomorrow so I don't get the opening ceremonies spoiled.

Good game Korea. You guys deserved the victory, but more importantly you pressured us and forced us to play way back. Mexico just looks clueless when they don't get the ball.

Motherfucking Jiménez had the winning goal right there though.

 

[-Eddman-]

Wow, I'm only 25 years old, but that was easily the worst and most boring game I have ever seen in the history of olympic football. Fuck Tena and his awful conservative formation.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

I've got a bad feeling Spain are gonna score right at the end.

 

[Regulus Tera]

It truly was. I can't remember a single game where Mexico looked worse in any age level.

 

[Kurtofan]

WTF is that Spanish guy doing?

 

[killer_clank]

That's not in the Olympic spirit. At all.

 

[Mik2121]

Is there a way to watch this online via some streaming site that's not limited to the US? I completely forgot there was soccer today... :/ (honestly, I didn't really care much about Olympics' soccer.. but being from Spain and all that, I guessed I'd watch it even if there's only like 10 mins left)

 

[keit4]

Yes, that japanese player holding the ball to waste some time... Nasty :/

Check the website of your national broadcaster.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Dammit, Japan should have scored a lot more.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Well that was a fucking waste of a corner.

 

[Kurtofan]

The Spaniards don't have the Olympic spirit.

 

[smiggyRT]

Are these matches elimination?

 

[EdibleExplosives]

I can't believe that was another miss.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Alright. If Japan concedes now it's their own damn fault.

 

[Kurtofan]

How many minutes of extra time?

 

[-Eddman-]

Japan is doing a pretty smart game, they could be the surprise of the tournament.

 

[Pacbois]

Are these matches elimination?

Nope, group stage.

 

[rififi]

I don't know what is worse - Spain's defence or Japan's finishing.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Yes, that japanese player holding the ball to waste some time... Nasty :/

lol every team does that

 

[Broder Salsa]

I don't know what is worse - Spain's defence or Japan's finishing.

De Gea's face.

 

[zero_suit]

Japan is shitting on Spain.

 

[Regulus Tera]

I don't know what is worse - Spain's defence or Japan's finishing.

Mexico's tactics.

 

[Kurtofan]

Japan is so superior!

 

[EdibleExplosives]

WOOOOOOOOOO, GO JAPAN!

 

[keit4]

Spain lost this match. Horrible defense.

 

[killer_clank]

Otsu crying :'D

Think I might have to root for Japan in this tournament now, they were very gutsy and enjoyable.

 

[Brinbe]

Fair result, Japan should have had 3/4 more.

 

[Ashes]

This is the spanish team that won the world cup under 21 last year?

lol!

Well done Japan.

 

[MThanded]

Damn Japan

 

[Regulus Tera]

Spain lost this match. Horrible defense.

Japan deserved a bigger lead.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Aww fuck I forgot Olympic football always starts earlier than the ceremonies.
This Spain result is a shocker. They would've been better off just sending Athletic Bilbao to represent them than what this team produced today (of course that would never happen in a million years).

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Where and how are you guys watching these games?

 

[Regulus Tera]

This is the spanish team that won the world cup under 21 last year?

lol!

There's no u-21 World Cup. Unless you mean the u-20 World Cup which was won by Brazil.

 

[Tom_Cody]

Does anyone know of a way to stream the opening ceremony online in the US?

 

[Meier]

Where and how are you guys watching these games?

If you live in America and have cable, NBC is streaming every event online on their site. I am not sure if people w/o it can use the service, but I'm sure some events (maybe those on NBC itself) will be available for all.

[Bo-Locks]

So do Spain always lose in shitty football competitions? This and the confederations cup. They shouldn't even bother showing up, it's beneath them.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

There has been zero hype for this where I live. I was shocked to discover tht they are tomorrow.

Well done Japan.

What cup? And no...?

 

[Kurtofan]

So UAE vs Uruguay or Gabon vs Switzerland?

Gabon vs Switzerland is on French tv.

Uruguay! Can't pass up a chance to watch some Cavani

 

[ZZMitch]

Japan played out of their mind, what a game.

Nagai was running all over the place, should have had a hattrick :lol

 

[Juicy Bob]

Well done Japan. I'm really enjoying this football so far.

C'mon Team GB, your turn to shine tonight!

 

[Meier]

Japan not scoring at a minimum of 3 goals there was pretty embarrassing. They made Liverpool blush.
