Football (soccer) thread - 2012

Of course this tournament is for teams under 23 years of age only. I think that makes it a bit more unpredicable. If Olympic basketball does the same which NBA and others are heavily lobbying for I'd have no problem with it - USA would likely still be dominant team at least for awhile.

highly concerned at halftime in this semifinal against Canada, down 1-0... We have the offense to put them away but now Canada has confidence.. Could be playing for the bronze instead of for the gold
