Here Are the Groups for Men’s and Women’s Olympic Soccer

Here’s what the Olympics group stage will look like: Sixteen teams divided into four groups for the men, with top two from each moving on. Twelve teams divided into three groups for the women. Top two from each group move on, and also the two top-finishing third place teams. This list came to us via BBC sport, which reminds us that: Great Britain will not have a team in Beijing because the International Olympic Committee does not recognise separate teams from Britain’s four home nations. I am certain that this is the only reason. And is women’s Group B the Group o’Death or what? Brazil and Germany? You have to feel for Nigeria and N. Korea.
