00:00Spain though, they seem to be the the favorite still on the board. They've got an interesting

00:08one against Brazil at three o'clock this afternoon. What are you looking at in this one?

00:12Yeah, Spain, both on the men's and women's side just continue to show incredible moxie.

00:19Both teams just continuing to come back from early deficits and win games. Really, really

00:24impressive. And because of that, I like the second half to have more goals than the first.

00:30I think that's where you would be looking at in a game like this. Brazil will try their absolute

00:35best to keep Spain off the score sheet. But man, that has been a difficult task for anybody in this

00:41tournament. Brazil without Marta in this game. She was suspended two games for a red card.

00:47She's retiring at the end of the Olympics. But the fact that they won in the quarterfinals means

00:52she will take the field at the end of her career in some capacity. It just remains to be seen

00:58whether that will be in the final or in the bronze medal game. But she will get another

01:02game in her career, which is great to see. We were kind of worried that her legendary career,

01:07one of the best players ever in women's football, would go out of her career on a red card. That

01:12would be really unfortunate. But she will get to see the field again. Just we're not sure where.

01:16But I think Spain comes through with it. I picked Spain to win both the men's and the women's

01:20tournament. And right now, I just don't see anybody throwing them off course. I think the

01:26U.S. can beat them. They're the biggest threat to them on the women's side. But both teams just

01:32continue to take punches and come out with a win.
