OK, the EURO ended. Will anyone even watch this shit? What are your expectations? (inb4 zika or robberies)
>>69475254
Mexico repeat
When's it start?
>Iraq
IT COULD HAVE BEEN ANY BETTER COUNTRY IN THE AFC
>Not supporting based Fiji
This is our NT
Portugal for 2 cups in 3 months
easy group, destroyed next round
The Portuguese Olympic team is better than the one that just won the Euros, I bet my balls they'll win this too.
Expectation? none....
Also..
>>69475271
CHI
>>69475254
favela pls go
>>69475254
Niggers usually win in Olympics, so I think Argentina will win this time.
>>69475319
I only know 2 or 3 players. Are you fucked? We have a pretty good young NT for the olympics
>>69475254
Olympics are always comfy time, lets hope it doesn't turn out too bad. The broadcasters will probably not show any protests, bad conditions, or pollution anyways
>>69475370
This will happen in every thread.
>>69475373
Defense is shit but attack pretty good. Gabigol and Gabriel Jesus are great talents plus Neymar and Douglas Costa.
>>69475375
There will be no protests since the president already got BTFO. Bad conditions and pollution can happen, mostly the pollution.
>>69475319
Looks pretty solid
Mexico win it again of course, we were saving our good players for this
wish cristi was playing ;-;
>>69475319
Looks pretty solid for Olympic football. You guys have a shot at this.
I will follow it overall I guess, like I will with the under19 in a few hours. I will definitely follow Portugal though. Our squads in the last 5 years are pretty good and on the olympics we are contenders for sure. Our currently coach doesn't lose for 2 years or something like that or a bit more in the nt squads.
>>69475347
I guess you could bet yes. But guys like Cedric, William, João Mário could be called for this and they are good. They were in the previous under20 and 21 with Rui Jorge as national coach.
>>69475276
24 days
>>69475254
>Can't find my team anywhere
Dropped
>>69475347
Yeah, it probably is. Sadly, most clubs don't release the players for the Olympics.
>>69475319
>no bacteria
Don't worry man, everyone else's team is shit since clubs don't want to borrow players.
>>69475458
You're listed 3 times in Group B
iraq v japan in the finale will be a marquee matchup
This will probably be Mexico's XI.
>FRED
>>69475271
CHI
reminder that fifa robbed us of a spot
>>69476165
not the same fred, though this one is also shit
>>69475319
>FRED
THE SAME FRED FROM 7-1?
Also, where tf are Jefferson and Diego Alves.
>>69476215
No, this one is a midfielder. A pretty shit one at that.
>Also, where tf are Jefferson and Diego Alves.
Over 23
>>69476137
CHI?
>>69476243
Damn it, I miss that walking meme.
>same group as Germany
>>69476244
CHA?
>>69475336
This is not the world cup. Mexico has a shot at this
>>69476340
>same group as fiji
group b looks balanced-ish?
>>69475254
lol no
This is a basically a 3rd world shit hole showcase. The premier teams could care less. This is the world cup to gutter tier teams like Chile and mexico.
After this Euro shitshow I just want to see some high scoring games.
>>69475254
Portugal will win this one too.
I'm serious, their kids are next level.
>olympic football
do people really care about this?
>>69475294
Like us.
At least we'd stand half a chance.
>>69475319
in b4 Neymar gets injured
>>69475254
I honestly didn't know that tbere was football at the Olympics.
Maybe I will watch it now
>>69475254
I'm pretty old and this is the first time my team is in the Olympics. Will definetely watch it if only for kek.
>>69475254
>Iraq
>Denmark
>Fiji
>Nigeria
>Honduras
Honestly, I only expect memes.
>>69476137
looks like a shit team that will get btfo out by germany and worst korea
>>69476920
This
>>69475254
Rooting for Japan desu
>>69475254
how come brazil and argentina make every underage tournament. dont they ever choke
>>69475254
NEYYYYYYMAAAAAAR
>>69475370
underrated
>>69475254
Brazil-Germany final
Brazil wins 7-1
literally unstoppable
quite enjoyed the last Olympic football tbqh, if flights to Brazil were not so expensive I'd gladly get tickets
Team GB triggered the Scots and Welsh, Brazil were great until the final, Mexico played well, few talented players unearthed like Konate
I'm looking forward to seeing the over-23s for each team
Would have been nice for Zlatan to not retire and fail at this tourney too
>>69481338
I would change maia for dourado, but yeah it's pretty good
>>69475254
hello where are all the good teams?
>>69475254
>tfw GBR men and women qualified but the Scottish FA blocked the move
Cunts.
Can't believe we have to face Algeria so soon again
I have very high expectaction. I really like our group of players, the manager and the footbal they play.
I'm hoping we can finish in the top 3 and win a medal.
>>69482332
actually only the women did. if you recall those Scottish nigresses made a fuss of it in 2012
Team GB would have qualified for Barcelona 92 as the Scots got to the under-21 semis that year, Atlanta 96 as Scots got semis again, and in 2008 as England got to the semis in 2007. No idea before it went professional, but before then who gives a fuck.
>>69482332
I would love to see Bale+england at the olympics.
>>69476356
REEEEEE
>>69482642
the monkey pulled out last time to play some friendlies for spurs
>>69475254
Our youth NTs are pretty good. High hopes for this one, even if the best youngsters are not playing (they are in the main squad).
>>69475254
Also, where is Spain? Denmark and Sweden?
>>69482769
>Denmark and Sweden?
nigga you blind.
>>69482769
Only 4 European teams qualify, those being the 4 that get to the semis of the under-21 championship
>>69475319
why all the clubs give brazil players they ask, not even boca or river wanted to give us their players
>>69482934
Because they are seen as traitors if they do not, and will get a lot of hate from everyone.
See palmeiras, they are the current league leaders but they are giving their two best players. In fact most players play for clubs in the top-5.
>>69482835
Oh yeah. That was the championship where we hammered Germany and then lost in the penalties against fucking Sweden.
Do people give a shit about Olympics for soccer? I know nothing. I know MLB players don't give a shit about Olympics.
I also know NBA players only marginally care, and a gold medal does not mean as much as a ring.
>>69483197
It does not mean as much as a ring but it is still embarrassing as fuck if they don't win right?
>what could have been
>>69483267
literally who? nobody knows your team of dindus Jamal
>>69483236
USA is literally expected to win Gold every single Olympics. We have only sucked in worldwide basketball from 98-2004, other than that we have been #1, as we should be, we have literally the best talent in the world for basketball.
This year is a bit worrisome as many star players have either been injured or withdrew.
>>69483399
Still, i think only Spain or one of the slav countries could challenge the USA for gold.
If >we get 3rd i will be pleased.
>>69483460
Yes but anything other than Gold is a disappointment to the USA Basketball team.
We've reigned supreme for so long, and especially with the dominance the various Dream Teams displayed.
i have faith in the portuguese youth. i want to see Iuri Medeiros, Diogo Jota and André Silva in these competitions soon
>>69483460
Do countries care about soccer olympics?
>No Orbelin Pineda
Mexico not bringing their best u-23 cdm, wtf were they thinking.
>>69475254
Brazil and Argentina choke again in semis or even quarter finals
Mexico reaches semis or by some miracle the finals
The champion will be an European
>>69483595
doesn't seem like it. sweden, for example, is having major issues forming a squad because no one wants to go to the olympics
>>69475254
>Germony vs literally who
>>69483675
Why?
Sweden won the under 23 euro.
hello germany
>>69483711
i don't know, it's pretty annoying. maybe it's the clubs rather than the players who don't want to risk their club results for the olympics, not sure.
>>69475271
This.
Also fuck porto for not letting Tecatito "Mexican Messi" Corona go.
hope brazil wins this tbqh
DOUGLAS COSTA OUT
FUCK
>>69475254
No pros in Olympic soccer. Why even bother?
How many will TSU score against Algeria and Honduras?
>>69475254
Nobody cares about it. In fact now that the euro is gone I'm off this place and back to my containment board. See you. Stay safe
>>69475331
Is Renato Sanchez playing??
>>69484797
It comes down to Bayern, if they allow him to go or not
>>69476946
How did we not qualify?
And how the fuck did Meme Zealand not qualify in OFC lol
Fiji?!
>>69475254
>Colombia qualified
>>69475254
I wish but probably won't be able, cause France has a shit ton other athletes in irrelevant """""sports""""" (archery, kayak, horseriding, etc)
It's our time now
>>69485027
You have a pretty good chance in your group but Colombia is going to rape everyone
everyone always says they're not going to but then always ends up watching it
>>69475254
We'll get raped unless the Pachuca boys + Talavera can win it by themselves. Team lacks depth and most subs are crap or former FM "wonder kids" like Fierro, Bueno & Torres.
pls give me a short guide on olympic football spuh
is it worth it to watch?
>>69485191
Can be fun, but it is not competitive
>>69485191
not really
its just a under 20 team with some experienced players last olympic football tournament was pretty boring
>>69485255
Under 23 with 3 overage players.
There are a lot of talented U23 players
>>69485262
I hope so because 2012 had a pretty boring tournament
>>69485242
>>69485255
Is this with the under 20 player?
>>69485392
under 23 and you can call 3 players over 23.
>>69484889
I was wondering that myself. Apparently New Zealand used an ineligible player against Vanuatu in the qualification semis, turning their win against them into a loss. Vanuatu then played Fiji in the finals where Fiji won.
>>69475305
fiji will be the new iceland
Do we even have a team for this? Last time i heard japan was quite ok for the Olympics so idk if we will make it out of groups
>>69483134
Thats nit the reason you mong, the acrual reason is that there would probably be retaliation from CBF in case they didnt. No supporter in their sane mind want to see a top player from their cup risk injury in the fucking olympics.
