😆 Brilliant defending.

They should just cancel the olympic football. It won't happen due to the money being involved but as it currently stands it's the only olympic sport where none of the best ever compete for honours. It's embarrassing. It's a youth reserve tournament basically. Many of these teams would struggle badly with non-league football.

It's ridiculous.
If you gave Claudius the Olympics, he'd get rid of half the competitions, and eliminate football completely. And replace them with a return of the fine arts competition.

Suck it Hope Solo

What a stupid attempt to freeze a kicker

Big upset from the Swedish ladies.

Hope Solo is such a sore loser.

Gnabry has looked useful at start of Portugal-Germany. god reverse pass to open up his fullback just now. And before that a solid 20 yard shot that stretched the goalie.
Fok! As I write this, he screws a shot wide from a good position. Off-balance.

Gnabry vs Neymar in the final it is

Decent performance from Germany, despite playing with ten men most of the game as Selke has been utter dogshit again.

Gnabry has been a revelation in this tournament. There are a lot of harsh and untrue things said about him but he is a top talent.

Yeah, several Bundesliga clubs are highly interested, couple of managers like Hertha's have openly talked about wanting him on loan.

He's about 100 times as talented as Davie Selke

No 1000 times

Gnabry looks like he's getting back. I thought he was pretty much done after the knee injury. Delighted that's not the case.

So why isn't he getting a chance here? Can't be worse than Oxcott.

It takes a long time to recover, if you even do recover fully from such a difficult injury at such a crucial moment. Wenger didn't hesitate to play him when he was 18; he would have played him last season too if he was any good. Tony Pulis didn't seem like the only reason Gnabry wasn't getting minutes at West Brom.

There's a real intelligence in his game and it looks like physically he is back.

As far as I remember we have never played him at LW, maybe this is the LW we are looking for.

Gnabry > Coman

Also Davie Selke makes Sanogo look like Henry ffs, some of the worst striker performances I've seen in my life this tourney

You just know there's a part of pulis that loved telling an arsenal player he's not good enough for his team.

Let's tune in to a Gnabry masterclass against the Brazilians.
