Not sure if this has been mentioned, but not only was Canada's goal today the quickest in Olympic history, but the red card in the 19th minute was also the quickest red card in Olympic history.  

 

We may not break the records in the pool or on the track, but Canada gets its name into the record books somehow!

Every match ended X:0 to the "home" team when x > 0

Except Zimbabwe Germany (1-6).

Behringer (GER) is the only player to score two goals. Every other goal has been scored be a different player, including two own goals.

If it ended today, they would have to draw lots to see if AUS or NZL go through, as they have the same record.

The QFs would be

Brazil VS Australia/New Zealand, France VS South Africa, Germany VS United States (tasty), Sweden VS Canada.

Every match was a Pot 1/2 team VS A Pot 3/4 team. The higher seeded team always won, except for Australia, who lost to Canada 2-0. No goals have been scored in additional time, nor directly from penalties.

 

Some stats I made.

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold

Brazilian crowd on Minerão yells "zika" when Hope Solo touched the ball :lol:

 

This is brilliant - Hope Solo publically raised concerns about zika:

    • WWE introduced two new Women's Championship belts. The first one introduced was the Women's United States Championship and not shortly after that the Women's Intercontinental Championship. The Women's US Title will be exclusive to SmackDown and the Women's IC Title will be exclusive to RAW.
    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
