    Matchday 1 results:


    Group A:
    Guinea - New Zealand 1-2
    France - USA 3-0

    Strong start for the Bleus, USA's bad streak continues


    Group B:

    Argentina - Morocco 1-2
    Iraq - Ukraine 2-1

    Two upsets(?). Apparently Argentina-Morocco was quite eventful: stoppage
    time equalizers, pitch invasions, the aforementioned equalizer ruled out
    by VAR 90 minutes after the fact...

    I read something about that, it seems the match went on for ever. SO I
    assume Olympic Soccer is still u-23 teams with the 3 over age players
    allowed. I noticed the Argies had Man City Alvarez and Otamendi playing
    and Hakimi was playing for Morrocco.

    It seems the football never ends. I had a CDN friend at the cottage ask
    me if there is ever an off-season time for soccer players.

    Meanwhile on the Women's side of the draw, we have Spygate 24. Kanada
    caught flying drones over the New Zealand training session.

    Matchday 2 results:

    Group A:
    France - Guinea 1-0
    USA - New Zealand 4-1

    USA bounces back, should get through with a result versus Guinea


    Group B:
    Ukraine - Morocco 2-1
    Argentina - Iraq 3-1

    All teams tied on 3 points ahead of the last matchday.


    Group C
    Spain - Dominican Republic 3-1
    Egypt - Uzbekistan 1-0

    Spain through to the next round, Egypt will need a point against the
    already qualified Spaniards to secure second place.


    Group D
    Japan - Mali 1-0
    Paraguay - Israel 4-2

    Mali missed a chance to equalize from the penalty spot in the 96th
    minute. Paraguay went up twice, Israel tied the score both times, and
    finally the South Americans won it with two injury-time goals.

    Japan through to the next round, Paraguay in good shape to correct
    course after their 0-5 defeat in matchday 1.

    Israel's ineptitude will save the tournament organizers a lot of security-related and forfeit-related headaches.

    Egypt secures first place in the group, Spain second. In the unlikely
    event that Israel manages to qualify (they need to beat Japan and hope
    in a draw between Mali and Paraguay, or a Malian win by narrower margin
    than their win over Japan), the quarterfinal would be Egypt-Israel.

    SophCon prediction for an Egyptian forfeit/boycott if that happens:
    0.95

    In group D, Paraguay has taken the lead early against Mali. Great news

    HT: Israel - Japan 0-0

    I don't think Egypt has too much to worry about. I also don't know how
    much Salzburg really needs Oscar Gloukh, he has been very underwhelming.

    Paraguay still up 1-0 (and through to the QFs) in the 13th minute of

    Egypt - Paraguay

    Morocco - USA
    Japan - Spain

    Israel was a bit better in the second half, actually creating some
    scoring chances, but in the end they opened up at the back and Japan
    punished them on the break in stoppage time.

    Paraguay still up 1-0 (and through to the QFs) in the 13th minute of
    stoppage time.

    Egypt converts all its 5 penalties and advances. Second Paraguay's
    kicker mistake was crucial.


    39' France - Argentina 1-0

    1-0 at half time
