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:
