OLYMPICS Paris Olympics

[Super Freak]

Ireland in again.

 

[Super Freak]

Good work from Kennedy to set up the try.

It's half time and it's Ireland leading NZ 12-0.

 

[Super Freak]

Great start to the second half from NZ.

 

[Super Freak]

That's cruel for Ireland.

They have been the better side but NZ snatch the win at the death.

 

[Super Freak]

The QF match-ups for the men's 7's.

 

[Super Freak]

Women's football up now.

We've got NZ vs Canada and Spain vs Japan.

Two good match-ups to start it off. Canada won the gold in the last Olympics.

 

[Super Freak]

What a lovely goal from New Zealand.

From the set piece. Barry traps the ball, turns and nails it into the top left corner. Difficult shot to take on the turn but she pulls it off.

And at the exact same time Fujino scores for Japan against Spain from the set piece.

 

[Super Freak]

Spain equalize.

Nice little ball in behind from Castillo to put Bonmati one-on-one with the keeper and that wasn't being stopped.

 

[Super Freak]

Canada knocking on the door now.

 

[Super Freak]

Decent attempt from Leon but you're not scoring from that angle.

 

[Super Freak]

Spain are all over Japan.

Japan will do well getting to half time without conceding again.

 

[Super Freak]

Good work from Leat.

That was a dangerous cross.

 

[Super Freak]

Goddamn that was poor from Prince.

That was a golden chance right in front. That should have been the equalizer for Canada.

 

[Super Freak]

Canada finally get that equalizer.

They force an error at the back for NZ and Leon pounces to score right before half time.

 

[Super Freak]

Half time in both games and it's 1-1 in both.

Canada are dominating their match against NZ and deserve to go into the break level.

Similar in the Spain vs Japan game. Spain have been dominating that game and deserve to go into the break level. They probably should be leading. They are a side that do so well in controlling possession. Japan's best chance is try and catch them on the counter.

 

[Super Freak]

Wrong option from Leon there.

Should have played the ball back in to Prince instead of trying to go for a shot on such a tight angle.

 

[Super Freak]

Great save Leat!

 

[Super Freak]

Spain take the lead against Japan.

Defence giving Caldentey all the time she needed to set up for the shot and she puts it in the side net.
