Congratulations to the Brazil women football team for reaching the final of this summer Olympics games after humiliating their Spanish counterparts with a 4:2 scoreline. I watched the game and contrary to my initial thought about how tough the game will be for both sides, it was an easy game for Brazil. They'll meet the USA women in final which will also decide the team that'll win gold. As the most successful women's football teams, the two finalists I know will give football fans a great game to watch and I can't to see them showcase what they've got on Sunday.

The truth is that I found it impressive how Brazil played, for me it was one of the greatest things I have seen, I saw Spain very unfocused and that was something that made me think that sometimes the mentality of people can change at a moment when it shouldn't, but even so I liked the game, but I really liked how they played it, it was great.

It seems like the Brazil women's football team has learned a lot from their previous mistakes, where at that time they lost badly to Spain due to the red card they received. What I saw was that they played very different strategies, it was a gamble but the change turned out to be very effective. Brazil no longer prefers to play defensive football, even they tend to be very offensive in those matches, and their effort greatly inconvenienced Spain.

Brazil will face the USA in the final and it's going to be another tough fight. But for some reason I felt that Brazil would be the one to win the final.

Brazilian women football has developed very rapidly at the moment, even when their men team was unable to do much at paris Olympics , at least the women team can still save Brazil pride, which has been a country synonymous with producing great talent in football, previously the Brazilian national team failed in the Copa America as well as their men team who failed to qualify for the Olympics so this implies a significant decline in the development of Brazilian men football at this time.
The performance of Brazilian football  women in the last few matches has actually fluctuated and they are even struggling to qualify from the group phase, even when they faced France in the quarter final yesterday they had to wait until the 82nd minute to ensure their victory.

In the final match, of course, the interesting match between America and Brazil will have a lot of intensity to the game, especially so far the American women's team is a very perfect team without losing until they reach the final, but  If you look at the strength and performance of the two teams at the moment, I think America will win in the final match as well as adding to their current gold medal haul.

There is no game are too strong, surely a pity that there is no Russia that surely could be a worthy antagonist for the others for the primacy, the sport should instead combine even in this case it did not go there

Pity for Russia? Hilarious nonsense. Russia under Putin are continuously torturing Ukraine citizens and screwed the world economy which is why they didn't deserve to participate in the Olympics.

They could probably return in the future editions if someone better than Putin takes over and makes the necessary changes to help their country mend their broken global relationships.

Then explain why athletes are responsible for government fails? Blame then Putin and ban him in every sport and tournament, cancel all his sports achievements and whatever he has achieved. Why not ban Israel and take their 6 medals due to their endless Israel-Palestine conflict. Ban every African country for their Sudanese civil war.

A hilarious nonsense is that a born today child is already guilty, responsible and banned everywhere.

Bullshit. How can you attribute the fact that Russian athletes cannot compete under their own flag to Putin? They have only one vote, they have no power to change the government. Especially in dictatorial regimes this is not possible. If we are going to compete for war crimes, there are many countries that shouldn't be in the Olympics, including countries that have won many medals. You should sit for two minutes and think about what I am writing before you make ridiculous comments here.

As the most successful women's football teams, the two finalists I know will give football fans a great game to watch and I can't to see them showcase what they've got on Sunday.

Brazil dominated in this semi-final match and scored four goals. I was surprised by this performance of Brazil team as they did not let the World Champions Spain to have any chance in this match.

it's going to take a lot of time before Spain finally process the fact that they where trashed by Brazil in a disgraceful manner like that in a semi finals. From the way Brazil played and how they did almost everything the right way from pressing good attacks to defending in a quality way and then having a goal keeper that was a sure hindernace to all the threat that Spain posed,  it was indeed a deserved victory that will draw a lot of attention to what they will be able to play out in the finals.

Now coming to the finals between the USA and Brazil, Although both the teams are the favourites to win the Gold medal match but i reckon that USA may have more chances and Emma Hayes, the new coach for the USA, seems very enthusiastic about their team's win. But if Brazil shows a similiar performance on the final day, then who knows? 

it's only those that didn't watch the US team at this Olympics that will underate them. US is very good and normally what I imagined is a case where they will face Spain in the finals but after the performance Brazil displayed at the semi finals, anyone that wants to choose US to win in this finals should do so with caution because it's going to be a fierce battle and the most certain prediction will be that both teams will score in the first and second half.

Agreed. This is the difference between living in a country with democracy rather than a country like Russia which pure dictatorship. You don’t even have a say with 1 vote since anytime Putin can kill you due to his total control in military.

Democracy people will have a hard time to comprehend the oppression which Russian experience from their own government since they can’t do anything due to the threat.

Brazil will face the USA in the final and it's going to be another tough fight. But for some reason I felt that Brazil would be the one to win the final.

That would be in the Women's category Gold Medal match but right now Bronze medal Men's football match between Egypt and Morocco is in progress and within the first 30 mins of the match Morocco leads by goals. 2-0 is the score here in this match. Remember Morocco lost to the favorites Spain in the Semi-final match and here they are looking to win the Bronze model for their country. Egypt was defeat by France by 2 gaols in the semi-final.




I am betting on Morocco and i feel i should win this bet. Although i got only 1.03 odds but it is a sure shot bet.

If you believe Brazil will win, the risk-reward opportunity is very good, with the odds currently at 4.10 for Brazil to win
I'm rooting for Brazil of course, but I'm still a bit unsure about the bet

Both teams to score also looks good, with 2.00 odds
It's about time Brazil won that Olympic gold medal by beating the United States. Brazil tried twice and failed against the US
As I fan I expect to see a match with lots of goals and emotion, like winning in the last 5 minutes

The match was won by USA 3-2. It looks like the USA has a better strategy than Brazil. They not only put quite a lot of pressure on Brazil in the first set but, the USA also managed to suppress Gabi and Rosamaria and made it very difficult for both players to score points for Brazil. I think the first set was the key for the USA to win this match because that victory made the Brazilian players start to lose their composure.

Even though this time I lost the bet but I will be rooting for Brazil again in the race for bronze. I think their opponent will be Turkey.

We are watching an incredible semi-final match in women's volleyball matches. Italy won the first set of the match between Italy and Türkiye, both teams have a chance to win the match. Both teams are highly motivated, we watched very high-quality attacks in the first set.
I hope Türkiye wins, I really want to watch Melissa Vargas in the final match. Maybe she showed everyone in these Olympics that she will be the best in the world

[EFS]

Germany started the game very well and the point difference was double digits but they played a terrible second quarter and the game was in the balance again. In the last quarter France stepped up with the support of the fans and won the game. The game was very close, but it was the hosts France who won and reached the final. Now the USA and Serbia will play and one of them will advance to the final. USA has never had any difficulties so far and they are the favorites today. Serbia didn't look good in the group stage match against USA, but they will play more seriously in this match. I still expect USA victory.

Turkey has lost 2 sets. The third set was very tight, an exciting semi-final.
I thought it would not be easy for Turkey against Italy. They still have a chance but they have to work harder. The third set should be Turkey's and they have to keep up their performance in the next set if they want a chance to qualify.
Italy might let go of the third set but Turkey could get tired in the next set. I passed on betting on this match, not counting on who will win but both showed good games.

Yesterday i was post about women speed climbing with Aleksandra Miroslaw as the favourite to gets gold medal in this sport because she can make new world records and today i have been watching the final match of mens speed climbing between Veddriq Leonardo vs Wu Peng and Indonesia athlete Veddriq Leonardo has became an the winner of this category and got gold medal

It was dramatically match between Veddriq Leonardo against China athlete Wu Peng because the difference time between them is only 0.002 second with final records is Veddriq Leonardo 4.75 second and Wu Peng 4.77 second however finally Indonesia got their first gold medal from this event and gold medal is came from speed climbing which previously this sport is not expected to gets gold medal

[Palakka]

When you keep saying she's a mutant (not 100% female) then would it really be fair if she fought men today or maybe those with genetic disorders like imane khelif should end her current career and ban mutants from excelling in sports, because like I said In his previous post, only a few people are born like him, so it is difficult to create sports competitions between those who have this disorder, like the current Paralympics.

This is the biodata of Imane Khelif, he has lost 9 times in his career and only won 4 knockouts and his opponents were all women so that means he can still be beaten by women.

It would be fair if that genetic disorder work both way. We see man-like women participate in women disciplines, but we dont see any women that go and compete against men in a discipline where physical attributes matters if not more, but on the same level as skill.

You have pointed that Imane Khelif has 9 losses. Dont look on he losses on the beginning of her career, it was just a start. Dont look on the losses that were against opponents that has huge difference in win/lose record, as judges might give them loss only because they are more experienced. And we will have that opponents beat Imane Khelif only 2-3 times. And since you have mentioned boxrec, Imane Khelif has 4 NC due to failing hormone and blood tests.

Honestly it is hard to comment on Imane Khelif. A boxer that is way stronger than women, but way weaker than men. Respect to Imane Khelif for choosing a professional athlete path, as it is much complicated than office white collar work. But like I've said, special athletes better compete against special athletes to make it fair.

Otherwise on next Olympic games we will have chicks like this:

Imane Khalif has reached the final round and for now we cannot make him resign after what he has achieved, what you say is true that it is better to any special competions betwen special athletes with other special athletes, but so far that is actually more complicated in my opinion because most of those who experience genetic disorders will prefer to remain silent and instead get lost in the disorder which makes them experience setbacks in life, Apart from that, the percentage of births with genetic disorders is very small so far so it will be difficult for the sports committee to create a special category for athletes like Imane Khelif because not have enough participant, in my opinion, what is happening now is nothing other than the poor system in selecting athletes at the Paris Olympics, if from the start the selection of athletes was very strict whether it was related to gender or hormones then the controversy that would occur like now That wouldn't happen, because after all being banned from competing early would probably be easier for Imane Khalif to accept than having him insulted when he was halfway through the competition like now.

BTW, the defeat she suffered during her boxing career did not occur at the start of her career, but she suffered this defeat when she competed with Kellie Harrington in the quarter-finals of the Tokyo Olympics and also in the  women world boxing championship in 2022.
I think If we continue the discussion about the controversy that is happening with Imane Khalif at this time, of course it will never be finished, because we have different views in looking at the case from our eyes, but frankly, I personally want to emphasize that power does not always depend on with biological factors and a person gender, because after all, if a woman continues to work and train hard, especially if economic life forces her to work harder, won't that also shape her character, physique and also even her strength, which might be stronger from than a man who just spends his time to relax and enjoy life with easy?

Another memorable evening in athletics. In women 400 hurdles we have new world record - Sydney McLaughlin achieved it and won race with big margin. Femke Bol was just 3rd.
In Javelin throw Arshad Nadeem achieved Olympic Record - 92:97 and won first gold for Pakistan. It's first ever golden medal for Pakistan in athletics.
Men field hockey tournament ended in dramatic way - Netherlands took gold against Germany after penalty shootout.

Wait what Team USA is getting destroyed by Serbia on Basketball game?
For the 1st time USA after a long time got top players in the olyphics games and they are losing before the final?

They can still recover but it will very very hard.

Serbia is playing incredibly. We see the difference between European basketball and American basketball, USA is missing great opportunities. Serbia, on the other hand, is on the field with a great team play, they are doing whatever it takes to win the match.
I am looking forward to seeing what kind of fight we will watch in the last quarter. It will be a real surprise if USA loses the match, let's see if Serbia will be able to last until the end of the match

[ajanwalker]

I say "Bravo" to the USA Basketball team in one word.
It beat strong Serbia with a score of 95-91 after trailing 54-43 in the first half, and made its name in the finals of the Olympic Games.
They will face the host France in the final.
Let me tell you in advance that the USA is the clear favorite and I believe they will beat France very easily.
Steph Curry played perfectly in the first quarter. If I'm not mistaken, Steph may have scored 17 of Abd's 23 points in the first quarter.
Let me admit that I feel sorry for Serbia.

[yenerbatmaz]

USA made a very good comeback against Serbia.
The breaking point of the match was Lebron's harsh reaction after Bogdanovic's three-pointer. I can say that the difference increased to 15 points with a three-point basket, but LeBron immediately responded with a three-pointer and then Embiid's magnificent dunk ignited the comeback.
Congratulations USA
