In a couple of hours' time, Argentina will be going for a second gold medal of the Beijing 2008
Olympic Games when the men's football team take on Nigeria, their conquerors in Atlanta 1996, in
the OFT final. Argentina are seeking to defend their title, having demolished arch-rivals Brazil
3-0 in the semi, with Liverpool [.
The United States women's team celebrate their victory over Brazil for the Gold medal in 2008
Olympic Games. The Olympic team included Hope Solo, Heather Mitts, Christie Rampone, Lindsay
Tarpley, Shannon Boxx, Amy Rodriguez, Heather O'Reilly, Carli Loyd, Kate Margraf, Angela Hucles,
and Lori Chalupny.
Sergio Aguero confirmed his status as one of the world's greatest talents when he sent Argentina
through to the Olympic final in a 3-0 triumph at the expense of Brazil. Dunga's team were
uninspiring for much of the semi-final but the convincing defeat ended their hopes of landing their
maiden gold medal in the men's football at the Olympics.
Argentina beat Nigeria 1-0 to capture the gold medal at the 2008 Olympic games. Argentina was my
pick, and the favorite of many to win the gold at these Olympic games, and they didn't
disappoint. Angel di Maria scored for Argentina in the 58th minute off a great through ball
from Lionel Messi. Messi wasn't able to score in the game, but was key to every attacking chance
Argentina had in the game
The discussion before the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing began largely centered around Brazil's
quest for their first ever Olympic title. The question of how the Olympic gold medal could escape
the most successful and internationally recognised football nation of all time was one which was
frequently asked in the build-up to the games, and one which would often baffle.

Brazil are second-favourites to win the Gold medal in the men's football at the 2008 Summer
Olympics held in Beijing after they eased to the top of the standings in Group C. Victories in
their three group matches meant they advanced to the quarter-finals in a storming fashion. The 2007
South American Youth Championship victors eased past the hosts China 3-0 in their final match and
they will now face Cameroon, who finished runners-up in Group D behind Italy.
From the US Soccer website:
The U.S. Women???s National Team will take on Ireland in a three-match tour following the 2008
Olympic Games, hitting stops on the East Coast and Midwest shortly after their return from the 2008
Olympic Games in China.
The Fall Tour gets underway on Saturday, Sept.
