Morocco up 2-1 on Argentina with about 10 minutes left. The first Moroccan goal was a beauty.

Where can I watch non-Canadian Olympics coverage?

The usual (CBC, TSN, SN) shows mostly Canadian content.

CBC Gem CBC Sports has everything. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/s...aming-schedule

We're back to FIFA timing, Argentina ties it up at 2-2 at 90+16. But it's being reviewed for offside

If it's like the previous Olympics, CBC's website has feeds for every sport that aren't specifically run by CBC so you can see everything unfiltered. Sometimes the feeds have no commentary and sometimes it's commentary from a completely different country!

CBC Gem usually showed whatever CBC was actually airing so I preferred the website.

I watched on CBC Gem this morning, it has everything. Browse - > Olympics

The Argentina equalizer stands. It's amazing that nobody was offside after 2-3 rebounds. The Moroccan defender ran back to the goal line putting everyone onside.

90+16 is insane. Did you watch the game? Was that much time added on warranted??

The Moroccans were time wasting, at least 10 'injuries'. The ref probably could have add more after the goal as there was time wasting within the added time, but the Moroccan fans invaded the pitch so he just called it off as a 2-2 tie. Some Argentina players got hit by objects.

Spain vs Uzbekistan they played 10 minutes extra so expect this going forward

Japan crushed Paraguay 5-0. This is a Paraguay team that knocked out Brazil in qualifying.

The men's teams at the Olypics are U23 teams (+ 3 exceptions), so not full squads like they would use in qualifying

I know we are still a couple days away but my oh my Canada's Mens Basketball team is in the group of death.
I've been trying to figure out who advances and how: 3 pools of 4 teams. I'm assuming 8 advance? But how?
Canada's Pool A group:
FIBA rankings
2 Spain
5 Australia
7 Canada
14 Greece

Should be fun to watch!
