Wow Argentina stuffed Brazil 3:0 in football semi finals, 2 red cards for brazil. Wish they had shown this game on tv somewhere.
Same match as the Under 20 WC-final of 2005. First time the world heard of Lionel Messi. I watched that game in the stadium. Hope this match will be as good.

The Chinese government is f-in pathetic. What is the point of competing if you have to cheat? And why is the IOC not trying harder to look into this matter? I hope they eventually strip the girl (and maybe the team in the overall finals) of her medal.

"The IOC relies on the international federations, who are exclusively responsible for the eligibility of athletes. It' s not the task of the IOC to check every one of the 10,000 athletes,'' according to Jacques Rogge.
It shouldn't be the IOC's job to look at every single athlete but if there this type of controversy surrounding a gold medalist then I believe they should look into the matter in the interest of fairness.
