Given the opponent and Brazil's penchant for theatrics, I think we can safely assume similar quality officiating to the 2012 soccer semi-final.
I think I get more stressed out for the ladies soccer medal games and the Womens National hockey games than i do the men.
I think the explanation is that I saw members of the national women's team doing summer classes at the U of C in the late 90s and realized they were just regular students, stretching their dollars and coins as much as the rest of us did. Their passion is different than with some pro athletes. Plus I really, really relate to people who hate to lose and enjoy winning so count me as a big fan of Sinclair, Tancredi, Chapman etc

He's pulled into first! The French guy is having big time cramping or chafing issues.

Diniz collapsed! Got back up and is going again. He paused his watch mid collapse like a true competitor. This is awesome.
