I was just looking at Brazil's roster as listed by FIFA.... Their forwards, Jesus H. Christ:

Lucas
Leandro Damiao
Neymar
Hulk
Pato

Not to mention that they have Thiago Silva listed, as well as Marcelo.


Everyone knows Spain and Brazil are the favorites but who's your darkhorse?


I'm rollin' with the Japanese. I still love Takashi Usami even though Jupp was a count toward him. Yuki Otsu is gonna represent before he goes back to Gladbach.

They actually have 5 players who play in the Bundesliga Japan and Germany are back together again.

Don't forget Lucas Moura, Ganso and Oscar in the midfield for Brazil.

Watch out for Uruguay. They have as good a strike force as any and Gaston Ramirez is a solid midfielder.

Yeah their whole squad is stacked. They also have Sandro in the midfield.



I like watching the Japanese play. Usami is gonna beat Spain.

I was shocked Ryo Miyachi wasn't selected. Kid is a stud.

Got their arse kicked last time and it will happen again in London.

I imagine some matches may be broadcast but every match will be available on NBCOlympics.com.

More than half of the games will be on TV. Lots of them in the mornings on MSNBC, NBC and mostly NBC Sports.


Olympic board should be here soon, btw.

I feel like Olympic soccer threads on the Olympic board will be full of trolls
