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!

They've learnt how to score !

We are good for these kind of records.

I was expecting the loss but not by this much. Oh well.

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.

Today I'll watch  VS . Too bad it's U23s I would rather watch the senior squad but I still have a feeling it would be a great match

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