Our anthem is very long, maybe that's the reason. Usually only the intro (which is short and without lyrics) is played, but they went for this weird thing instead...
I predict we'll lose or draw today. Not only happy with assembling a shitty squad the coach decided to also field a terrible formation with 2 of our best players (Pavon and Lo Celso) in bench.
thats sad, i understand barcelona and all, but i think Messi should've played here and not the copa, i know he have a gold medal..... (btw did he play in 2008?)
Yes, he did.
Olympics is seen as a minor competition for male footballers, it's never going to be the priority for them unless there isn't any other international tournament the same summer.
FIFA can't do anything because they themselves refuse to put this competition in their calendar, thus clubs have no obligation to release the players.
This just about politics and FIFA not wanting anything to remotely rivalize with the World Cup (but of course, they milk the women's tournament all they can to gain popularity for it...)
Sampdoria sold Joaquin Correa to Sevilla and his new club denies release also Vietto was denied in last days, but good news is that Sao Paulo is close to exit the Libertadores so they will release Jonathan Calleri in time for olympics (and he's better than Vietto).
Today was the first training of the team... with only 11 players (but this was expected).
I feel neutral about Portugal and I hate Ronaldo and like to see him losing, but this feels like a more fair outcome to me given the circumstances of the match.
