Brazil Profile

Olympic record:
Brazil have contested 12 of the 23 Men’s Olympic Football Tournaments held to date, a record that only Italy and USA can surpass, with 15 and 13 appearances respectively. Somewhat surprisingly, however, the five-time world champions have never won Olympic gold, the only FIFA men’s title they have yet to get their hands on. Bronze medallists at Atlanta 1996 and Beijing 2008, they reached the final at Los Angeles 1984, Seoul 1988 and London 2012, but had to be content with silver on each occasion.

The Road to Rio:
Though already guaranteed an Olympic berth in their capacity as hosts, Brazil took part all the same in the 2015 South American U-20 Championship, the qualifying competition for Rio 2016. A Canarinha scored three wins in taking second place in Group B behind hosts Uruguay, to whom they lost. Further defeats came against Argentina and Colombia in the final phase, in which they finished fourth with a mere seven points. When they run at Rio 2016, the boys in yellow and green will be tasked with restoring national pride following A Seleção’s chastening exit at the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™.

Former stars:
Dunga (1984); Taffarel, Jorginho, Ricardo Gomes, Mazinho, Romario (1988); Dida, Roberto Carlos, Bebeto, Rivaldo, Ronaldo (1996), Ronaldinho (2000 and 2008); Thiago Silva, Marcelo, Neymar (2012).

The stat
Over the years Brazil have amassed 100 points in the Men’s Olympic Football Tournament, a total bettered only by Italy’s 102.

Well this could be the beginning of greatness for Neymar, all he has to do is seize the opportunity and win brazil first olympics Gold in football.

Germany Profile

Olympic Record:

Germany’s best performance at the Men’s Olympic Football Tournament came in their most recent appearance, with a bronze medal in 1988. In their three group games in Busan, they saw off China PR and Tunisia before succumbing to pool winners Sweden. A quarter-final defeat of Zambia, courtesy of a Jurgen Klinsmann hat-trick, was followed by a penalty-shootout semi-final defat to a Romario-inspired Brazil. A straightforward 3-0 win against Italy in the Bronze medal match, with Klinsmann again on the scoresheet, saw the Germans pick up a medal at the eighth time of asking.

The Road to Rio:
A cagey opening game at the 2015 UEFA U-21 European Championship set the tone for an unconvincing German qualification for Rio. Their 1-1 draw with Serbia was followed by a straightforward victory against Denmark, but their final group match, which secured their passage to Brazil, was a tense 1-1 stalemate against hosts Czech Republic. The semi-final in Olomouc saw the Germans swept aside by their Portuguese counterparts, who cantered to a memorable 5-0 victory. The Nationalmannschaft will be hoping for more consistent performances if they are to mirror their senior side’s 2014 success in the Maracana come 20 August.

Former stars:
Richard Hofmann (1928), Wilhelm Simetsreiter (1936), Willi Schroder (1952), Jurgen Klinsmann, Frank Mill and Karl-Heinz Riedle (1988).

The stat :
76 – there were almost eight decades between the Germans’ first appearance at the 1912 games and their first medal, a bronze in 1988.

pamcode:
Well this could be the beginning of greatness for Neymar, all he has to do is seize the opportunity and win brazil first olympics Gold in football.

considering the fact that Brazil has never won an Olympic gold in there history
