Soccer tournament
Spain and Japan already in the quarter-finals
The men's national teams of co-favorites Spain and Japan have already reached the quarter-finals of the Olympic soccer tournament in France. The Spaniards led by Barcelona youngster Fermin Lopez defeated the Dominican Republic 3:1 and are now firmly in the top two in Group C with six points after two games. The same applies to the Japanese in Pool D after a 1-0 win over Mali.
Hosts France are also on two wins after a 1-0 win over Guinea in Nice. Coach Thierry Henry's side are not yet through mathematically, however, and a point in their final Group A match against New Zealand on Tuesday will be enough to secure first place.
Argentina followed up their chaotic 2-1 opening defeat to Morocco with a 3-1 win over Iraq in Group B. As the Moroccans lost 2-1 to Ukraine, all four teams are on three points.
