Olympic Games Women - Football - Final
It should be said that while Sweden got to the final deservedly and dominated the whole tournament so far (USA 3:0, Australia 4:2, New Zealand 2:0, Japan 3:1, Australia 1:0), Canada got to the final with a lot of luck. It would have been so little and Canada would not have advanced from the group stage at all - in the first match they drew 1-1 with home team Japan, but the Japanese missed a penalty. And that is what decided Canada's advance to the quarterfinals.
In the quarter-finals Canada played with Brazil, who were better, but in the end it came to penalty shootout and Canada were the lucky ones again. In the semi-finals Canada played with USA and won 1:0 thanks to a penalty. USA was again better, on shots overall they won 13:3. In the end Americans hit the crossbar. Canada has played 5 games so far in these Olympics and scored only 5 goals.
Sweden is the best team in the tournament so far and I believe they will prove it in the final and win the gold medal.
My bet:
Sweden W @ 1.83 (bet365)
