 no goals except penalties in the whole playoffs. But at least they won a game in full time. Better than when Portugal won men's euro. 
 

 Swedens silver in Rio was quite similar too, except that didn't win.

 

with that Said, they Did what they had to do to beat 3 strong teams in the playoffs and that is what counts - unfortunately

Zambia losing left and right but then destroying Costa Rica. That's my team.

Technically Canada only beat one team in the Tokyo knockout stages (and two across the whole tournament), but at least that one team was the  :P

 

(The 2020 Olympic gold medal was a total fluke, but there are other tournaments where the team should have done better, like the 2012 Olympics. That’s soccer for you)

It isn't justified to say it's accidental, but I feel like they kinda escaped a few times here and there at the Olympics. After watching the groups, Canada winning was a big surprise to me, I would have expected England (GB), Netherlands or Sweden to win it.

How did Vietnam qualify? I mean, cool for them that they did, but at least today they seem to be barely able to kick the ball  (I'm sure they can do better than this, but I didn't have time to watch their other two matches)
