Argentina wins against Brazil this morning 3-0 and I do believe thats a hat-trick :lolz: :glee: and thank god because it was all up to us to keep Brazil from winning it's first Olympic Gold medal in futbol while Argentina will fight for its second. Like always Brazil played dirty after getting worked and they had two players red carded after we scored the third goal. You can only imagine how :glee: I am, I woke up at 5:45am pacific time to watch this game. But it's still not over we have to play Nigeria to win the gold.

this was expected because most of the brazil team wasn't playing that brilliantly in the olympics. Ronaldinho particularly. I feel he may be a bust for AC Milan.

Surprised that it's Nigeria vs. Argentina. Not surprised that it's Argentina because Messi is indisputably one of the best forwards in the world, but Nigeria? Fuck man. Crazy times. Next olympics it will be Taiwan.

becks!

lol wasabi, did u watch nigeria smash belgium?? obv u didn't, but they owned, gonna be a great final! (speed + strength vs ability + skill)Belgium played like shit, and so did Nigeria in the first half too actually. Second half, Belgium crumbled apart even more and Nigeria did not forgive, don't wanna take credit away from the Africans but playing Argentina is gonna be a whole different level.

Still, Nigeria is strong and fast like you said. They definitely have potential. The gold can go either way, but if I were to bet, I would side with Argentina on this one.

It'll be a great final indeed anyways, a rematch of the 1996 Olympic FINAL which Nigeria won btw

I didn't watch it. Fuckin games are on the wrong side of the world for me. I just see the results on paper. But still, Nigeria must be like watching Arsenal - bunch of speedy guys trying to walk the ball into the net.

That reminds me of old soccer video games.

Congrats to Argentina. Having (one of) the best forward in the world, who displayed his skills, was excellent.
