I mostly mean the "official" loss against Ivory Coast because Zimbabwe couldn't afford the plane tickets to travel to Abidjan, after which Ivory Coast withdrew and Zimbabwe was in again  

 

Ah, yes. Such stories make the Olympic spirit for me though.

Easy (or not tough ) draw group for (both tournaments)... expected, and not too easy for the big rivals at gold medals : Usa - women's and Argentina - men's ..... expected too

That Brazil would have a facilitated route.

Well, a good draw for Mexico; yet they need to get their level back if they want to progress to the knock out draw, as South Korea and Germany are not as easy as Fiji and Portugal or Argentina will be a tough rival in QF's...

While Brazil men's group might be easiest one, I wouldn't say that about our women's group. Our female team is not what it used to be and both China and Sweden will be tough challenges. China, especially, is in a very good moment, having won against USA recently.

I think that for Brazil's female team it would be a tough tournament, but for the men's team I really think they will (finally) get the gold at football (though I hope not, at least while Portugal is still in the competition )
