    Nope!

    Couldn't careless either way, Olympic football does not guage my interest, surely the Olympics is about having the best 'athletes' so why have an age restriction? might as well just hold an u21 tournament to be fair.

    If i've interpreted this correctly, thats absurd... if there is the opportunity the heat may become too overwhelming don't play the fucking game at the particular time of the day they are!

    Great effort there from Di Maria...first chance I've really had to see him play and I like the look of him.

    First real chance for Messi, a shot from distance. Good save by the Nigerian goalkeeper.

    Di Maria hacked down at the edge of the box. He really has been outstanding today.

    Di Maria, didn't see what happened though. The replay just went to Gago tackling the ball from a Nigerian player.

    Good game; Nigeria played some good football but just not very precise in front of goal.

    Di Maria, Zabaleta, and Gago were particularly good for Argentina today.
