It feels like the Olympic Games in Paris, France have just begun, yet here we are already at the end of the group stage in soccer.
The men are playing their final round of games on Tuesday, while the final 6 games in the women’s group stage will go on Wednesday.
My Analysis
There is a lot still to play for, especially for Canada, who were docked 6 points for using a drone to spy on opponents.
Despite that penalty, they go into the final day with a shot at moving into the knockout round, which we will get to in a moment.
There is sure to be a ton of drama coming our way on Wednesday, so let’s break down all 6 games.
^Brazil +340 vs Spain -135
Wednesday, 11 AM EST | Despite winning both of their games to this point, Spain is not assured of a top 2 spot.
That said, a draw in this one would be enough to see them through. Brazil, on the other hand, need a win here, but they are also going to need to score some goals, as Japan are ahead of them in the tiebreaker at the moment.
I think this might be the end of the road for the Brazilians.
Olympic Soccer Pick: Brazil 1-2 Spain Draw: +290 |
Japan -194 vs Nigeria +520
Wednesday, 11 AM EST | The task here is about as simple as it gets for Japan, which is to win and move on.
They are tied with Brazil on points, but they also currently hold 2nd place in the group due to beating the Brazilians earlier in the group stage.
Nigeria is bottom of the group and already out of the tournament, but are they about to leave with a whimper or a roar?
I have a feeling it will be the former.

Australia +530 vs United States -232
Wednesday, 1 PM EST | The United States women are in very good shape at the top of their group, winning both games to this point and putting up a +6 goal difference, which is certainly good enough to see them into the next round.
Still, they will want to win and keep the positivity rolling heading into the knockout phase.
Australia is still alive, but they would need to win here and hope that Germany loses, which seems very unlikely.
Olympic Soccer Pick: Australia 1-3 United States Draw: +400 |
Zambia +1225 vs Germany -649
Wednesday, 1 PM EST | The Germans had a comfortable opening win over Australia, but they were quickly brought back to earth with a 4-1 thumping at the hands of the US.
They will want to erase that memory quickly, which they can certainly do against the weakest team in the group.
Zambia is winless and -4 in goal difference. No joy for them here.
Olympic Soccer Pick: Zambia 0-3 Germany Draw: +740 |
Colombia +275 vs Canada -108
Wednesday, 3 PM EST | The drone controversy has put a blight on these Olympics for Canada, but despite being docked 6 points, they can still win and move on, as they have won both their games to this point.
Colombia has looked good, pushing France hard in a 3-2 loss before beating New Zealand 2-0. This, though, is a much tougher task.
Olympic Soccer Pick: Colombia 1-2 Canada Draw: +265 |
New Zealand +1775 vs France -752
Wednesday, 3 PM EST | This group is very much hanging in the balance, with the host nation needing to get something out of this game to keep their dream of Olympic gold alive.
New Zealand has lost both their games and will be out of the tournament after this one, as I think they are on to another defeat against the hosts.
Olympic Soccer Pick: New Zealand 1-3 France Draw: +700 |
