France v Mexico on iplayer, no "big" players for them though.
Gimbal the Gypsy is still playing?It says France u23 yet Gignac 35 and Thauvin 28 are both playing
They’re allowed 3 overage players. GB had Micah Richards, Bellamy and Giggs in 2012. Was an outcry because Pearce didn’t pick Beckham in spite of him and Prince William being the 2 who got the bid over the line.It says France u23 yet Gignac 35 and Thauvin 28 are both playing
Although it's an under-23 tournament, you can have up to 3(?) "over age" players in the Olympic squad.It says France u23 yet Gignac 35 and Thauvin 28 are both playing
I turned over on this notification.Mexcio player flew in penalty to France
Its turned into a good game now France have pulled one back and are going for it and Mexico hitting on the breakI turned over on this notification.
Looks like I chose the wrong game to watch
Historically the South Americans take Olympic football very seriously.Saw a video on Twitter last night of a young Ronaldo absolutely running riot for Brazil at the 1996 Olympics.
36 im sure it was him who was outstanding at the world cup and he was available on a free and ended up getting linked with loads of teamsHow old is Occhoa he was a legend for my Rangers team in fm years ago
He’s 36 nowHow old is Occhoa he was a legend for my Rangers team in fm years ago
Yeah no real big name players but some really talented young players in that squad - Almada and de la Vega I fully expect we’ll see in Europe in the near futureHistorically the South Americans take Olympic football very seriously.
Brazil have taken Richarldson & Douglas Luiz this year although the Argies haven't taken anyone of note from Europe

They had a Charlie McAllister play for them at left back in the 1994 World Cup.Just seen a boy called Mcallister is starting for Argentina
Aye Alexis, has played for Brighton for a couple of years.Just seen a boy called Mcallister is starting for Argentina
Wasn’t Pearce tempted to play David James up front for Man City?They’re allowed 3 overage players. GB had Micah Richards, Bellamy and Giggs in 2012. Was an outcry because Pearce didn’t pick Beckham in spite of him and Prince William being the 2 who got the bid over the line.
Brighton player, I think he’s got some ancient family links to Scotland and Ireland hence the nameJust seen a boy called Mcallister is starting for Argentina

3 IIRC.What are the rules for the Olympics? I thought it was under-24, but just seen Dani Alves is captaining Brazil and he must be about 40. are you allowed one or two older players too?
This was my main take away tooChrist, Eurosport is still going?
Still going they've put 8 channels on for the OlympicsThis was my main take away too
Still going with the same commentator that done our game against PSG 20 years ago.Christ, Eurosport is still going?
The boy Pieper will be having nightmares.could quite easily have been 4-0 to Brazil after 15 minutes here
German defence is horrifically bad apart from their keeper
Was Kevin the one they left home alone?Brighton player, I think he’s got some ancient family links to Scotland and Ireland hence the name
