The goals from the first match of the men's Olympic Football Tournament between Argentina and Ivory
Coast are online now, and you can watch them right here. I offer a metaphorical doff of the cap to
anyone who can tell me what on earth Oscar Ustari is doing for Ivory Coast's equaliser... Argentina
2 - 1 [.
The Olympic Football Tournament kicks off on Thursday (yes, that is before the official start of
the Games, which is on Friday), and Argentina, as the defending gold medalists from four years ago
in Athens, will be red-hot favourites to retain the title, thanks in large part to an attacking
lineup that would terrify most [.
Lanús are the best team in Argentina, don't you know. In case anyone wondered about their ability
to challenge for honours again this year, they reminded us of that fact on Thursday night by
claiming Argentina's first win in four attempts of the 2008 Copa Libertadores. The visitors to El
Sur were Uruguayan quasi-giants Danubio, [.

Following Estudiantes' aggregate loss to LDU Quito on Tuesday night, Lanús took on Atlas in
the Estadio Jalisco and also exited the tournament. Having lost 1-0 last week in Buenos Aires,
Ramón Cabrero's side needed to win at least 2-1 to advance, and failed in agonising fashion -
Lautaro Acosta got a 90th minute goal [.
The United States-Japan match was not the only one played on Thursday, though it may have seemed
like it. In fact, the US wasn't the only CONCACAF nation to kick off their quest for gold
either.
But Honduras didn't fare quite as well as the Americans.
Italy routed Honduras 3-0.
It's an appalling pun I know. But the manager himself is a good one, according to Héctor
