Diego of Brazil celebrates

SHANGHAI (SW) - Brazil have won the Bronze medal at the Olympic Games in China, after a rather easy victory over Belgium.

Werder Bremen's Diego opened the score for Dunga's men in the 27th minute and Jo scored both in the 45th and the 92nd minute to earn his side a comfortable 3-0 win.

The medal is Brazil's fourth at the Olympics. The South Americans lost the final in 1984 and 1988 and finished third in 1996.

Interestingly, 1996 also had the same two finalists as this year, with Nigeria eventually taking the Gold at the expense of Argentina.

With all those stars in the squad, it's not unexpected. Neverthless their Olympic campaign still ended a FAILURE.

No articles telling about these games have been on soccerway. I've got the game on right now, 0-0, Argentina, Nigeria just started. I've got to think the Albiceleste have got a better team though not being biased for one or the other, in fact, I'd like to see the Super Eagles, Nigeria pull it off.

I mean to say, No Pre-game articles on these as there were for the other games. But I'm not complaining! That's okay.

Quick Report: Argentina 0 Nigeria 0. Where's Riquelme? It's all going to Messi but they aren't getting a score, a few chances. Messi's heavily covered, but it should open someone else up and Argentina should have someone else.

1-0 Argentina! Maradona like pass from Messi! Argentina scores! Great goal, like when Maradona passed to Canniglia down in the box I think I saw once. A little tap volley I think over the GK.
