The Olympics footy schedule gets underway on Sunday.
Groupings with outright odds in brackets
Group A
France (7)
Japan (9)
Mexico (21)
South Africa (251)
Though France are favs, they had to call new players and it will be interesting to see how they perform. The other 3 sides all went out in the group stages in 2016.
Group B
South Korea (21)
Romania (67)
Honduras (101)
New Zealand (101)
The weakest and open group in my opinion. I would like to see Romania progress as they have been doing well at youth level in Europe.
Group C
Spain (3)
Argentina (10)
Egypt (101)
Australia (151)
Spain v Argentina looks exciting. These two should be able to progress from this group.
Group D
Brazil (4)
Germany (11)
Ivory Coast (51)
Saudi Arabia (251)
Brazil v Germany should be a mouth watering tie given they were the finalists in 2016.
These two likely to go through though Ivory Coast could have a say as African sides are strong and do cause problems for opponents on their day.
Quarter Finals
1. A1 v B2
2. C1 v D2
3. B1 v A2
4. D1 v C2
Semi Finals
1. QF 1 v QF 2
2. QF 3 v QF 4
Final
Winner SF1 v Winner SF2

Being a German fan, I am rooting for them and Romania have been impressive at youth levels for past few years.
So am going for Germany v Romania in the final.
