Ageless Ryan Giggs pens new one year deal
The 39-year-old, undoubtedly the most decorated player in British football history, will complete his 23rd season as a first team player while his next appearance will be 1,000th senior appearance, a landmark achievement for any footballer, albeit it includes games for Wales and Team GB at the London Olympics as well.
It's so difficult to turn back to football, as Gadsby looks back on London 2012, and a simply
magnificent games the greatest Olympics of all time. What can the England football team learn from
London 2012 and, in particular, Great Britain's incredible Olympians? Plus, it's England vs Italy
all over again as Gadsby preview England's first international fixture of the new season.
It's official: playing for Stuart Pearce's Great Britain Olympics squad works wonders for your
England career. Birmingham goalkeeper Jack Butland, Chelsea's Ryan Bertrand, Tottenham's Steven
Caulker, Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley and Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge are the
Olympians who now find themselves at the disposal of Roy Hodgson for England's friendly against
Italy next [.

the Canadian's claim that their set piece defense is illegal, which is just a precursor to the
excuses issued for yet another Canadian loss to the US.

The unlikely quarterfinal run of Sporting Kansas City midfielder Roger Espinoza (pictured) and the
Honduras Olympic team has come to an end. Honduras seized a 1-0 lead over Brazil, and then a 2-1
lead in the second half on a goal by Roger Espinoza, but Brazil would equalize and then take a 3-2
lead on a pair of brilliant plays by Neymar.
Brazil rallied past Honduras, Japan cruised past Egypt, Mexico edged Senegal, and South Korea

Liverpool are rumoured to be close to agreeing a deal with Swansea for midfield star Joe Allen.
According to reports in the South Wales Evening Post, the Kop giants have been in discussions with
Allen's representatives over personal terms, while Swansea decide whether to accept a refuted
£12.5 million offer.

finishers of group E.
The Brazilian women's team are set to face Japan in the Olympic quarter-finals

(uma tarefa grande!)
If luck is anything to go by, the girls will play at the Millennium Stadium in
Cardiff, where they defeated Cameroon 5-0 and New Zealand 1-0.
The U.S. women's national team has never failed to reach a gold medal game at the Olympics, and
with the way things are set up, it would be quite the stunner if they failed to do so this time
around.
The bracket has unfolded quite favorably for the U.S. women, who took gold in 1996, 2004 and
2008 and settled for silver in 2000 after falling to Norway in the final.

It may have been more nerve-racking than most fans would have liked, but Great Britain is
through to the quarterfinals in this summer's Olympics.
Great Britain emerged as leaders from Group A while simultaneously eliminating Uruguay after a
1-0 victory over the South Americans at Millenium Stadium on Wednesday.
I am literally pressing "publish" as soon as the final whistle blows in this Olympic soccer match
between the combined team of Great Britain and Uruguay, which will determine the quarterfinal

Despite their 0-1 loss to a resilient Great Britain Olympic side yesterday, the
'selecao feminina' (Brasil women's team) have made it to the
quarter-finals of the Women's Football tournament. However, the task will not be any easier as they
will face current World Champions, Japan.
Great Britain's Welsh captain Ryan Giggs hopes fans do not hiss the British interior vocal when the
squad plays its critical Group A jibe against Uruguay in Cardiff, Wales on Wednesday.

Like England, Great Britain disappointingly failed to advance past the quarterfinals of a major
international tournament on Saturday. And like England, they were eliminated on penalty kicks.
Great Britain felt the pain England have been feeling for so many decades, as they suffered a
5-4 penalty shootout loss to South Korea in the Olympic quarterfinals at Millennium Stadium.
Great Britain's women fell at the first knockout hurdle at the City of Coventry stadium on
Friday night, losing to Canada in the quarter-finals.
The 2-0 scoreline was a fair reflection of a game in which the hosts struggled to replicate
their match-winning performance against Brazil just days before.
U.S., surprisingly, had a little difficulty taking care of New Zealand (1-0), who seriously came
out to play like champs. France came from behind (oooh, that's right--2-1) to send Sweden home
crying, and Japan beat up on a lackluster Brazil (2-0). As I type, Canada is proving they save the
Queen better than Great Britain, up 2-0 with five minutes remaining in the first half.
Luis Suarez has hit back at those fans that jeered him as his Uruguay team were dumped out of the
Olympics in a 1-0 defeat by Great Britain.
The Uruguay captain was targeted by fans at the Millennium Stadium on Wednesday evening, having
previously been booed at Old Trafford and Wembley.
But the Liverpool forward was particularly aggrieved by the fact that sections of the crowd also
decided to boo Uruguay's national anthem.
Liverpool striker Luis Suarez was quite rightly disappointed at booing during Uruguay's national
anthem. But he's got completely the wrong end of the stick when it comes to guessing why he was
booed. The Uruguayan anthem was interrupted ahead of last night's Olympic match against Great
Britain when Suarez's image flashed up on the big [.
In an exclusive interview with Futbolita, Arsenal ladies and England international, Ellen White, spoke to us about about life in women's football, being "one of the boys", her football idols, and winning more trophies than the Men's team.

The U.S. Women's National Team is one step away from a Gold Medal game against Japan in a
rematch of last year's World Cup Final, but to get to that game the Americans will have to beat a
familiar foe in Canada (2:45pm, NBC Sports).
The Americans are a perfect 4-0 in Olympic play, having posted three straight shutouts.
Regular readers of this site may have noticed - in the last week - a slight drop-off in the
frequency of posts. Like most of Great Britain, our attention has been otherwise occupied by
events in East London and beyond. With Jessica Ennis et al accumulating an stunning haul of
medals for Team GB, it's been difficult to prioritise the countdown to the new football season.
Moussa Konate is getting all the attention this week, as the 19 year-old has looked good for the
Senegal Olympic side, and he was the one who scored the equalizer against the Great Britain side
last weekend, and he also scored two goals against Uruguay, and so far has scored all his country's
goals in [.
