Let’s talk about football!
Despite the presence of Barcelona superstar Neymar, Brazil continue to struggle in front of home fans.
It’s good news for Nigeria however, as Dream Team VI has not failed to impress at the ongoing tournament in Rio.
Nigeria’s Oghenekaro Etebo and Mexico’s Erick Gutierrez lead the ‘Top Scorer’ table with four goals each.
South Korea remain the highest scoring team so far, with a total of 11 goals after two games.
Let’s take a look at how the competitors have fared so far:
Group A
Denmark lead with two points, ahead of Brazil and Iraq, and a draw against the hosts on Wednesday will be enough for the Danes to proceed to the knockout stage.
South Africa, Iraq and Brazil however MUST win their last group stage games to stand a chance of reaching the next phase.
Group B
Nigeria are through to the quarter finals after defeating Sweden with a lone goal at Arena da Amazonia, Manaus.
Meanwhile, a win will take Colombia to the next round, just as a winner between Japan and Sweden can possibly finish second and qualify – if Colombia fail to get a point against Nigeria.
Group C
South Korea and Mexico top the group with just two points ahead of third-placed Germany.
Fiji are out after losing their two games, conceding 13 goals in the process.
Germany on their part need a win to claim a spot in the knockout round.
Group D
After a successful campaign at the 2016 European Championship in France, Portugal stand a chance of going the distance in the 2016 Rio Olympics.
The Portuguese have qualified for the last eight of the competition and will be joined by the winner of the crucial clash between Honduras and Argentina on the Wednesday, August 10.
