GB attacks from the off and a strong run from Bellamy leads to a mad scramble in the UAE box.

2:46 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Great combo play down the left between Bellamy and Ramsey,but Ramsey crossed straight to the keeper.

2:48 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A GB win would mean that they would need only a draw vs Uruguay in Cardiff later this week to progress. That result would also eliminate UAE from the tournament.

2:50 PM

Great defending by Steven Caulker on UAE's first attack. He spent last season on loan to Swansea from Spurs.

2:51 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Nice UAE passing and Neil Taylor tackles for a UAE corner. That could have been a penalty on a different day.Richards blocks a shot off the short corner.

3:08 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

UAe is trying to play like Spain, but their defending is suspect and they are starting to get frustrated as illustrated by some of their recent challenges.

3:10 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Just too long for Cleverley by Richards after a great possession by GB.

3:11 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

GB fall asleep on a rare UAE attack ,but luckily nobody was up to connect on a cross.

Better from Sordell as he forced a good save by the keeper with a long range effort then it was cleared for a corner.

Great GB attack, but they took too long to shoot and UAE cleared.

3:26 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

nasty foul on Richards just outside the box, then Ramsey took a quick free kick that forced a great save off a shot from Cleverley

3:28 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A mad scramble in the UAE box off the resulting corner and UAE break, but GB recovered to stop their attack

3:29 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

OH! I THOUGHT THAT WAS 2-0 GB AS BELLAMY WAS PUT THROUGH ON BREAK AND HE FOUND CLEVERLEY , WHOSE SHOT CAME OFF OF THE INSIDE OF BOTH POSTS.

One minute of stoppage time.

3:31 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Halftime and 1-0 to GB, but it could and should have been so much more.

3:31 PM

The announcer said that Giggs became the oldest player to score a goal in the Olympics, breaking a record set by an Egyptian player in the 1924 Olympics vs Hungary. He was 37 years of age.

3:49 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Craig Bellamy won the ball with a great tackle in midfield, played a one-two with Sturridge, but the cross went to the keeper.

3:51 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Poor pass by Ramsey Intended for Sturridge, who would have been through on goal

3:51 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Well wide by Khalil

3:52 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The cross by Taylor was well overcooked after he was put through down the left.

3:54 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Great kick save by the keeper off a shot from Sturridge, then UAE counter and Kaleel shoots inches wide.

BUGGER!!! 1-1 AS UAE SCORE WITH A GREAT FINISH AS TOP RAMAN PUT KALEEL THROUGH AND EASILY BEAT BUTLAND AT THE NEAR POST. POOR DEFENDING BY GB

Giggs must be tiring as he has twice been dispossessed.

4:08 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

An upset is on Honduras lead Spain 1-0 in the second half. The Spaniards lost 1-0 to Japan on Thursday and could be eliminated from the tournament.

4:09 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Great save by Butland from Kaleel as the Uae start to dominate

4:11 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I just checked. A loss would eliminate Spain

4:12 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Similar effort to the equalizer.

4:13 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Scott Sinclair is on for Giggs. I could see that as Giggs was starting to show signs of fatigue.

4:13 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

YESSSSSSSS!!!!

2-1 GB AS SCOTT SINCLAIR SCORES A MINUTE AFTER COMING ON THE PITCH.A SUPERB RUN DOWN THE RIGHT BY BELLAMY AS THE KEEPER FUMBLED HIS CROSS, UNDER PRESSURE FROM STURRIDGE AND SINCLAIR FINISHED EASILY AT THE FAR POST.

4:16 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!


3-1 GB AND WHAT A SUPERB GOAL AS GB BROKE AS STURRIDGE SUPERBLY CHIPPED THE KEEPER ON THE BREAK. BELLAMY WAS GIFTED POSSESSION IN MIDFIELD AND FOUND STURRIDGE, WHO OUTRAN TWO DEFENDERS AND SUPERBLY CHIPPED THE KEEPER.

4:18 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Spain still trail Honduras 1-0 as a loss would eliminate them from the tournament , but would clinch a pace in the quarters for Japan.

4:20 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

KEEP IT TIGHT GB!

4:21 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Not far over from long range from Top Raman.

4:21 PM

4:22 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

GB now leads the group on goals scored , ahead of Senegal.

4:23 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Finally, Omar is booked after a series of fouls on Ramsey.

4:24 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Bellamy gets a deserved standing ovation as he is replaced by Jack Cork. Imagine what reception he will get on Wednesday at the Millenium Stadium.

4:25 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

This result will eliminate UAE from the tournament

4:28 PM

Into stoppage time at SJP as Honduras lead Spain 1-0

4:36 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Nearly 2-0 to Honduras as they countered down the right and De Gea misjudged a header that went out for a corner.Honduras wanted a penalty off the corner.

4:37 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Anywhere will do as the Hondurans thump it in the air to the delight of the Geordie fans

4:38 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Spain have a free kick and De Gea will go up for it

4:38 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A Honduran is down and going off on a stretcher. Time wasting?

4:38 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The free kick is headed well wide and that is it as Honduras win 1-0. Honduran players go potty displaying their flag and disgraceful behavior from the Spanish players as they storm the ref. Definitely not the Olympic spirit. The Honduran captain cuts in front of the Spanish players to shake hands with the officials.

4:41 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

So Spain are eliminated and it looks as if Honduras will face Brazil ni the quarters.

4:42 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A great day of footer as a draw for GB vs Uruguay will insure a place in the quarters where it appears that they would face Mexico or South Korea.A great of Olympic footie.
CHEERS LADS!

Cheers UWS. It was a great game and great performance by GB. I am sure you agree with me on more of the same Wednesday vs Uruguay at the Millenium. The U.S. women's team plays North Korea tomorrow at OT at 12:15. The U.S. need a draw to win the group.
