Football at the olympic games doesn't really matter, but watching Brasil will be fun for sure. Sort of a preview for the 2014 world cup, the team won't look that different there. | ||

I asked that question on a bit of a long-shot since I thought only Korean footballers who do well at World Cups. That's pretty cool. I'd like to see him play on Arsenal for a few more years.

They can definitely make use of another tournament to get more famous. Although the male teams could easily set up enough players willing to play in the Olympics' Football tournament as well... It's sad they don't want another World Championship. ^^ | ||

Indeed, however from when i last watched womens football, world cup i think? Germany/USA seem to be the big teams? Yet if you look at the USA womens squad list i posted, 80% of there teams players are not with a football club at this moment in time, whether thats because of weird football drafts in America i am not sure, but when you see that many players not playing at clubs you think that they haven't got very good players :S might be wrong though. | ||

Yes, most likely the 2nd best team in asia after Japan (current world champion) Group C is definitely the group of death, I can't wait to see USA-France, that game already tastes like a final. | ||
